APPLE OF HIS EYE

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.

GREATNESS

GREATNESS              

Read: Mark 10:35-45
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant (Vs. 43).


    In the kingdom of the world, greatness is achieved by acquiring certain volume of wealth or having affluence for influence. In our political world today, if anyone does not have affluence, it will not be easy for him or her to have influence to win an election.
 
    Jesus taught the disciples about the way to greatness in the kingdom of God. That way is by our service. That is, humbling oneself to serve others. Service is taking a low place so as to use your talent to bless others. Service is laboring to make others become what God wants them to be by the grace of God which He has given you. Service is using your time and energy to raise others.
 
    When people serve, they work for God either in the house, office or in the house of the Lord. As they serve, they are investing their seeds for great harvest. Service is using your opportunity to enhance the lifting of others. As you serve, God will remember you in the shortest of time. Anytime God is looking for people to lift up, He always looks for people in service (1 Samuel 16:1,11). Service becomes rewardable when it is unto the Lord and not unto man, money or materials (Ephesians 6:7). Find a place to serve both in the church office and in your community. As you do that, soon your lifting will come. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, I receive the grace to be humble and to serve.
 
“IF YOU ARE TOO BIG TO SERVE, THEN YOU ARE TOO BIG TO BE SERVED”

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.

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.

THE GRACIOUS

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.
