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.

FERVENT PRAYERS
James 5:13-18
DEVOTIONAL: “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (Vs. 16).
If God will always answer our prayers, then we must also understand the place of fervency in prayers. To be fervent is to be strongly focused on God and stay connected to the purpose of our prayers. It is displaying a passionate intensity on our prayer lives. For us to be fervent in our prayer lives, we must learn to go to God with a purpose and determined heart to receive from Him. When we connect with God in the attitude of faith, He would be attracted to us.
As much as people have needs, some still come to God with a 50/50 devotion. A fervent prayer comes from a strong heart built strong by faith in the word of God. Isaac prayed with fervency for his wife to conceive (Genesis 25:21). Hannah prayed with fervency and she received Samuel (1 Samuel 1:27). You and I can always receive whatever we need if only we learn to pray fervently. Instead of our challenges weighing us down, let us come boldly in faith and with the determination of not taking “No” for an answer. As we do this, heaven will be opened for us and we shall have testimonies.
Prayer: Lord, it is time for my prayers to be answered in Jesus name.
“IF YOU ARE DESPERATE ENOUGH, YOU WILL GET ENOUGH FROM GOD”.
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.
