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.

THE MERCIFUL

THE MERCIFUL        

Luke 6:30-36
Devotional Verse:-“Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful” (Vs. 36)

 

    One of the lifestyles of the kingdom of God which was among the teachings of Jesus is being merciful. This attitude gives us access to the blessings of God.
     
    To be merciful is to be considerate or compassionate on others. People may offend us but we need to deal with them with consideration. Jesus taught us that it is when we are merciful that we can obtain mercy. It is in the nature of God to give mercy (Exodus 33:4-6). So, as citizens of the kingdom of God, when we show mercy, we are taking after our father in whose image we are made. That is why you must not let things affect you negatively. You must not allow people’s negative attitude to get inside of you. Make up your mind never to hold anyone in your heart. This will help you to be able to easily forgive others.
 
    If anyone has offended you either in the office, home, church, etc, be merciful to them, so that God can also show you mercy. Peace!
 
Prayer: Lord, help and give me a merciful heart to enjoy your mercy. 
 
“WHEN YOU ARE MERCIFUL, YOUR LIFE WILL BE FULL OF GOD’S MERCY”.
