APPLE OF HIS EYE

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.

ANGER AND RECONCILIATION

ANGER AND RECONCILIATION             

Matthew 5:20-22
Devotional Verse:-“But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother,'Raca!' shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says,'You fool!' shall be in danger of hell fire” (Vs. 22).

 


    When a man is angry naturally, he looks for a way to carry out revenge. This is because he needs to unleash his anger on someone. Anger, when not really subdued in the heart of a man can cause death. That is why the word of God tells us that though we can be angry, we must not commit sin (Ephesians 4:26).
     In our Scripture for today, Jesus told us that we should learn to live above anger. We must cultivate the habit of forgiving others instead. Remember that it was the anger which Cain didn’t take care of that made him murder his brother (Genesis 4:4-8). It was also because of anger that Joab the captain of the army of David murdered Abner in cold blood (II Samuel 3:20). Jesus said that this will lead to eternity in hell if not taken care of.
 
    It is the lifestyle of kingdom citizens to reconcile with offenders and not allow anger to build up bitterness that leads to a bitter life (Hebrews 12:15). God commands us to bless and not to curse (Romans 12:14). Friend, there is no curse that is right. All that should come out of your mouth as a child of God even in the heat of anger should be blessing and peace. This is because what comes out of your mouth is from the state of your heart (Matthew 12:34). Let your words always bless others from a blessed heart and not curse. Remember also that your words are your seed and they shall become your future harvest (Galatians 6:7). Always sow the word of His blessing and that shall be your harvest. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to live above the spirit of anger.
 
“AN ANGRY MAN IS MORE WOUNDED THAN OTHERS”
