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 RULING KINGDOM
Read: Daniel 4:24-37 They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses. (Vs. 25)
Another major nature of the kingdom of God is sovereignty. It is a ruling kingdom. In other words, the kingdom of God enthrones and takes over thrones. Wherever the kingdom is established, kings and rulers will be raised over every other throne (Revelation 11:15). This is one of the things the devil does not want you to know (John 8:32).
The Bible says king Nebuchadnezzar was boasting that he built his kingdom himself and never gave glory to God (Isaiah 48:11). God had to teach him a great lesson, until he realizes that God rules in the affairs of men. If there is any power boasting or proving to be something against your life, such power will soon come under your feet (Romans 16:20).
The word of God says above only you shall be (Deuteronomy 28:13). The word of God says you shall be the head and not the tail. God’s word says you are redeemed to rule (Revelation 5:9-10). Friend, the spirit of this kingdom is a ruling Spirit. You are from above and you are above all (John 3:31). So, very soon, you will take over in your office, business, family, community and nation. Just keep obeying the Lord. You belong to a ruling kingdom.
Prayer: Lord, anoint me to rule over every forces around me.
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.
