APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:4-13 Devotional:- “...for he who touches you touches the apple or pupil of His eye” (V. 8) AMPL One of the most honourable and highly protected parts of our body is our eye. It is highly protected because of its importance and delicacy. The eye is the light of the body (Matthew 6:22, Luke 11:34). A man without sight is blocked without light. He will need to learn to see with the inner eye. Because of the importance of the eye, everyone takes time to wash it with all care and caution. When things are coming against it, wise people will always avoid it. When something little enters the eye, we become restless until it is removed. The truth is that you cannot allow anyone to touch your eye. It is a reflex action for you to close it at such times.

ROLE OF THE CITIZEN
Revelation 11:15-19 Devotional: “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!"” (v. 15)
In every kingdom, the citizens have responsibilities they must be involved in. There are benefits for a citizen to enjoy in the kingdom he/she belongs, but there are also enormous responsibilities to be carried out. When you see a citizen suffering in his country, he probably may not be doing what he ought to do to enjoy the blessings of the country.
The role of the citizen of the kingdom of God on earth is to enthrone Jesus wherever they are. It is your role as a citizen of the kingdom of God to expand the kingdom through the Gospel of Jesus. It is your role as a citizen to demonstrate the love of God around you till the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Remember, the territories that Jesus want to take is first the heart of men (Luke 17:21). This goal can be achieved as we take an intercessory project for the soul of people around us. We are to break down the throne of the devil in the heart of people. We are to enthrone Jesus in their heart through the gospel of Jesus (Jeremiah 1:10). Through the preaching of the gospel, we are able to bring people to the kingdom of God (Rom 1:16). Our role is to serve God and to see God’s kingdom extended to all men. Then the blessings of the kingdom shall be ours and our peace and prosperity shall be guaranteed. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, enlist me in your kingdom army.
“A MAN IS EITHER SERVING IN GOD’S KINGDOM OR OTHER KINGDOM”
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.
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.
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.
