APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:6-10 Devotional:- “For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye” (v.8) NKJV We need to know that God is so jealous of us and He wants to preserve us. Though we are living in a wicked world, God has His program to protect and preserve His children. It is only a wicked father who will not protect his own people when he possesses the ability to do so. And God is a good father. Whatever loss you have experienced in the past, this year will be a year of better experiences for you. It shall be peaceful and calm.

THE STRENGTH OF LIFE
Genesis 2:1-7 Devotional Verse:- “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being” (Vs. 7)
God made man in the beginning in His own image and likeness. Since God is a Spirit, it should be clear enough for you to know that man is also a spirit being (John 4:24). If man is therefore going to gain strength, then he must trace his way back to God who is his source.
In our Scripture for today, we see that God molded man just like a clayed image. You will agree with me that without the breath of God, there is nothing the clay can do by itself. In Genesis chapter two and verse seven, God breathed into the nostril of that molded image and it came alive. That was one of the first miracle of God.
Friend, please understand that the true strength of life is when you receive the breath of God which is the Holy Spirit. When people are filled with the Holy Spirit, they become great potentials in the hand of God. Jesus told the disciples that they would only be able after they had been baptized in the Holy Ghost (Acts 1:8). It's important you set quality time aside to fellowship in the presence of God and ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 4:13). When you receive it, the best of you will start to manifest (Job 32:8). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, baptize me with the Holy Spirit.
“IT WILL TAKE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO BE INTELLIGENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS”
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.
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.
MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
