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.

LOVING YOUR WORK

LOVING YOUR WORK

Ecclesiastes 9:7-9
Devotional:- “Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works” (V. 7) NKJV

    When a man puts diligence into his work, he will earn great wages. Our ability to work is what God has given to us to make our living and fortune. He that is lazy will not be rich (Proverbs 14:23). In this part of the world there is something good about us and that is we believe in working. That is biblical (2 Thessalonians 3:10). But I have found one great evil in the world today. That is, people working but hating their work. Most people do not know that whatever they hate cannot give them its best. This is because they will not put in their best. Very many people hate going to the office, they love pleasure than working. (Proverbs 21:17). I believe this is a misplacement of priority. Working is really pleasurable. This is because it is work that will bring your harvest while the so-called pleasure consumes it.

So many people rejoice when the weekend is approaching and lament when it is over. Research was conducted sometimes ago on some people who died around the same time. This was made on about 2000 of them. It was discovered that 80% of them died between 7.00 am and 9.00 am on Monday morning. And it was discovered that these people died because they hated their jobs. The reason people hate their work is that most people are working for men or money only and not what they enjoy doing. Working for men or money alone will always frustrate you. We should be sure our work is rewarding but not at the expense of our joy. Don’t keep doing a work that you don’t enjoy. When you love your work, you will do it enthusiastically. You will put your best into it. Your products will be different and unique. And you will feel fulfilled in life. Friend, be happy working. Serve with joy, and favour will locate you. Your blessings will pursue and overtake you. It’s your year!

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO STOP HATING MY WORK.

“WHAT YOU HATE CAN NOT PRODUCE ITS BEST FOR YOU”

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.
