PROTECT YOUR HEART  Proverbs 4:20-27 Devotional:- “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” (V. 23) NLT      Everyone is born with a strength capable of rising to greatness. In every growing child is a seed of greatness. It is this strength that makes the youth so creative and energetic. That is why each young person looks at the future with great hope. The enemy tries to destroy this strength. As strong as many started in life, not many could strike the chord of success because their strength was destroyed.

DISTRACTING DISTRACTION

DISTRACTING DISTRACTION

Matthew 6:21-24
Devotional:- “The light of the body is the eye; if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light” (V. 22) KJV

    One way the devil works out defeat and failure in people's lives is through distraction. Distraction is a great enemy on the road to success. It has successfully held so many people hostage. You will not be its victim in Jesus name.

Sometimes, when you want to concentrate on achieving a goal, it’s then the enemy will bring a distraction. When you plan to read, he will entice you to sleep or to spend time thinking about what is not necessary. It is when you have an appointment that he will bring weariness and slow your action. When you are praying, he will do His best to divert your thoughts to several places. His aim is to get you distracted from reaching your goal.

The power to overcome the Spirit of distraction is prescribed in the scripture We read today. “Let your eyes be single”. In other words “if your eyes are healthy or sound” This is when your eyes can focus to see well or deeper. This demands that you focus on one thing at a time. This does not mean you cannot multitask. Always concentrate on whatever you are doing at a point in time. Jack of all trades will end up being the master of none. There is time for everything. Let time be appointed to everything you do. The devil will always want to use what you like to distract you from getting what you need. But please be willing to sacrifice what you like and get what you need.

Money could also be a distraction. Be careful not to be possessed by the spirit of mammon which is the love of money, this could distract you from your focus. Let your love rather be for God and the pursuit of his purpose for your life. Then you will be full of revelation and understanding to fulfil your calling, and then you will see all the good things of life waiting for you at the end.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE STRENGTH FOR A SINGLE FOCUS.

“DISTRACTION IS SIMPLY AN ATTRACTION FOR DESTRUCTION"

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
