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.

THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM
Read: Luke 7:19-30 For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he” (Vs.28).
Every citizen of the kingdom of God needs to know the value of what heaven and earth sees in us. We are a people that God has invested so much grace upon. The Old Testament saints lived in the time of the law, but Jesus brought grace and truth for the New Testament believers (John 1:17). This is a measure of God’s goodness which cannot be comprehended by human mind.
In the New Testament, grace gives us access to all things in God that we do not deserve. Our redemption was paid for by the blood of Jesus (Revelation 5:9-10). Jesus baptized us with the Holy Spirit and the Spirit dwelt in us to help, comfort and reveal the truth of life to us (John 14:26). We are granted access by the blood which is the life of Christ, into the mysteries of the kingdom (Mark 4:11). The mystery is the truth of the word of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. When God opens the eyes of a believer to see, it becomes possible for him to assess the power of God (Daniel 11:32).
Friend, this is one of the greatest assets we have in God. You can’t know the truth about your situation and still be a victim (John 8:32). Give yourself to seeking the truth by the help of the Holy Spirit and you shall be greater than the forces of life.
Prayer: Lord, help me to walk in the true value of Christ.
“ACCESS TO THE TRUTH BY THE SPIRIT WILL ENTHRONE AND ORDAIN YOU ABOVE TROUBLES”
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.
