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.

POWER OF THE EYE
Matthew 6:22-23
Devotional Verse:- "The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light” (Vs. 22)
It is the lifestyle of every citizen of the kingdom of God to walk in light. While light gives understanding, darkness brings confusion and stagnancy. The Bible calls God the father of light (James 1:17) and calls us the children of light (Eph. 5:8). Light is about the illumination, brightness of our hearts and the clarity of our understanding. The eye the Bible is referring to is majorly our inner eyes by which we have the understanding of knowledge and the wisdom for living. Just like the physical eyes, when you open it, you will see clearly, but when you close it, all you will see will be darkness.
Jesus is therefore saying that we should always allow our inner eyes to access light. By this, our whole body will be full of light.
This light is the understanding that comes through the revelation of the word of God (Psalms 119:130). We gain light by seeking knowledge of the truth of our situations and then have clarity of the understanding of what to do. That is why a child of God does not read the Bible just to become a professor or a preacher but to gain light. This is the secret of our rising in life (Isa. 60:1). You will be unstoppable in Jesus name. Peace!
Prayer: Lord, show me the light for my progress.
“YOU CAN’T RUN WITH SPEED IN THE NIGHT MORE THAN THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR HEAD LAMP”.
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.
