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.

STRENGTH IN THE KINGDOM
Psalm 84:1-12 Devotional: “They go from strength to strength; Each one appears before God in Zion” (v. 7)
The strength that the kingdom of God supplies to the life of the citizen is by the word of God. The word of God is the power of God. It is through the word that God creates (John 1:1). God made us like Himself, to be able to bring forth things by His word. The word is the power of God to heal and to deliver (Psalm 107:20). So many children of God have not understood the power of the word of God. Some are still confused about it.
To understand the power of the word of God, you need to know that it is information that transmits the spirit from person to person. When evil people speak, they transmit evil spirit to the hearer. When the word of God is spoken, the forces of the Spirit are released to be at work (Psalm 103:20). The example of this in the physical realm is when the president of a nation speaks, the law enforcement agent takes charge to enforce it, so is the word of God (Hebrews 4:12)
The power of God is the release of the Spirit of the word of God (John 6:63, Psalm 107:20). Whenever you are meditating in the word of God, you are receiving strength to win (Joshua 1:8, Psalm 1:1-3). That is why you must always be in the place to hear the word of God. It will produce faith, courage and right thinking in you for achievement. Then, you will be stronger than the forces against you.(Romans 10:17, Psalm 119:97-100). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, help me never to lack your strength.
“THE WORD PRODUCES STRENGTH IN YOU FOR YOUR VICTORY”
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.
