APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:6-10  Devotional:- “For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye” (v.8) NKJV      We need to know that God is so jealous of us and He wants to preserve us. Though we are living in a wicked world, God has His program to protect and preserve His children. It is only a wicked father who will not protect his own people when he possesses the ability to do so. And God is a good father. Whatever loss you have experienced in the past, this year will be a year of better experiences for you. It shall be peaceful and calm.

JOYFUL HEART           

Psalms 63:1-11
Devotional -“My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness, And my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips” (V. 5)



       It is going to be difficult for a sorrowful heart to praise God (Proverbs 25:20). That is why we must always fellowship with the Holy Spirit so that we can always bear the fruit of joy. The reason why many people in Church and even in the music ministry do not always praise God is sorrow. It will be challenging to combine sorrow and praises (Psalms 137:1-6). So, we need a joyful heart to be able to praise the Lord.

     The word of God says, my soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness and my mouth shall praise you with a joyful heart. To maintain a joyful heart, we must allow the Spirit of God to rule over our heart. It is then we can bear joy as one of the fruits of our lives (Galatians 5:22). We must also take pleasure in the will of God and putting our hope in God. Be patient and be satisfied with God. The Psalmist says, my soul shall be satisfied in God.

    Friend, not many things gives us joy in this world. We sometimes put ourselves in sorrow when we don’t have corresponding action of faith with our expectations. Therefore, any time the expected result is not coming, we easily get disturbed. But we are the one who did not act in obedience to God. When our hope and expectations becomes delayed, we become discouraged (Proverbs 13:12). We must be willing to keep a consistent work of faith with the Holy Spirit and with joy we shall be praiseful. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me unending grace for joy

“A JOYFUL HEART WILL EASILY PRAISE GOD”

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

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.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
