Topic: Singleness of Heart [Andrew Wommack Devotional 1 April 2019]
Matthew 12:35, “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.”
Text: Matthew 12:32-45
Our spirit is definitely a part of our heart, but as seen in 1 Peter 3:4, it is only a part. Sin, iniquity, unbelief, etc., come from the heart but not the born-again spirit. Hebrews 4:12 suggests that spirit and soul are both part of the heart; hence, the scriptures admonish us to believe with all our heart (Acts 8:37), have singleness of heart (Col. 3:22), and tell us our hearts can have two minds or ways of thinking (Jas. 4:8).
Topic: Glory in the Cross [Billy Graham Devotional 1 April 2019]
As for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. — Galatians 6:14 (TLB)
What glory is there in the cross? It was an instrument of torture and shame. Why did Paul glory in it? He gloried in it because the most selfless act ever performed by men or angels took place upon it. He saw-emanating from that rough, unartistic beam upon which the Son of God had been crucified—the radiant hope of the world, the end of the believer’s bondage to sin, and the love of God shed abroad in the hearts of men.

Topic: Let Your Life Shout [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 1 April 2019]
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. – Psalm 14:1
Most of us would never dream this verse could apply to us. After all, we’re believers! We’d never say that there is no God.
But maybe we should think again. It’s true that with our mouths we would never say something like that…but don’t we sometimes say it with our actions?
Press On by Pastor David Ibiyeomie
Failure is an opportunity to start afresh more intelligently. That you have failed before does not mean that you are a failure; failure is only an event and not a person. Every successful man had failed at one time or the other.
Visionaries are rulers, pace-setters, trail blazers and path finders; so, be a visionary now. Give your life a meaning and change the world.
Phil.2:12b -…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
We are in the world of blind people; only visionaries will take over and bring the change needed. The kingdom of God is within you.

Read: Joshua 14:6-14 (KJV)
6 Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea.
7 Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.
8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.
