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.

MYSTERIES
Read: Mark 4:10-12 And He said to them, “To you, it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables. (Vs.11)
The kingdom of God operates by the mystery of God. It is hidden because God wants it to look foolish to the common mind (1 Corinthians 2:6-8). But they are the wisdom of God for human liberty (1 Corinthians 1:23-25). Mysteries are the hidden wisdom of God. God says His ways are different from our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). So, as God’s children, we need to know that operating in the kingdom demands us having the working knowledge of His mysteries (I Corinthians 22:14).
Jesus said, God has given us access into His mysteries. People outside are in darkness (Isaiah 60:2-3). Mysteries are hidden truths that solve the problems of life (Proverbs 25:2, Deuteronomy 29:29). That is why the mysteries of the kingdom of God are still mysteries to them but to us they are the working of the power of God. That is why only the humble and the meek can operate in this kingdom (Psalms 25:9-14). You should not be a Christian and be ignorant of the power of God. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of secrets.
These mysteries are the hidden power in the blood of Jesus; the power in the communion table; the power of the anointing oil, among others. Friend, stop complaining about these mysteries. Seek to have knowledge by studying and meditating on the word of God with an open mind. As you do that, the Holy Spirit will show you the deep things of God which will put you in command of His word. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, reveal Your power to me for my progress.
“EVERYTHING IS MADE TO HAPPEN BY SOMETHING. NOTHING JUST HAPPENS”
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.
