APPLE OF HIS EYE

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.

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

FORGIVING TO BE FORGIVEN

Mark 11:19-26
Devotional Verse:-"And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses” (Vs. 25)

 


    It is wrong for any child of God to pray and not to receive answer. This is because God has covenanted to answer our prayers in His word. Though God is sovereign, He is a covenant keeping God (Exodus 34:6-7, Psalms 89:34). So, we must totally depend on His faithfulness. 
 
    In today’s Scripture, Jesus teaches us how to pray and receive answers to our prayers. This is a prayer of faith that does not doubt the faithfulness of God. We must learn to put our experiences aside and always believe God afresh in each time we pray.
 
    Jesus taught us to believe that when we pray, we should believe that our answers have come (Mark 11:24). He also taught us to forgive people who offends us if we want God to forgive us (Matthew 6:15). The reason is that, sin is always a major hindrance to prayers (Isa. 59:1-2). God loves us but He cannot put up with sin. So, if anyone offends you, forgive him so that your prayers will not be hindered. That is when you can come boldly to His throne of grace, making your requests known to Him (Heb. 4:16). As you forgive, you will be forgiven. Your prayers will no longer be hindered and the answers to them will no longer linger in Jesus name. 
Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, give me a forgiving heart. 

“FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY TO BEING FORGIVEN”.

ALTERNATIVES

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

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

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.
