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.

THE PRAYER OF FAITH
MATTHEW 21:18-22
DEVOTIONAL: “So Jesus answered and said to them, "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done” (Vs.21).
The prayer of a child of God is powerful when it is prayed in faith. In our Scripture for today, we are taught what it will take to make our prayers powerful. Our prayers can only be powerful when they are said in faith. This is why the devil always wants to intimidate us by planting the seed of doubt in us to weaken our prayers.
In the Scripture for today, we see how Jesus demonstrated the power of praying in faith. He was hungry as He passed by a tree which He expected to bear fruits but He found no fruits on it. So, Jesus made a decree that no one would ever eat from the tree again. In other words, He condemned the tree which withered and died afterwards. This clearly explains Jesus’ message; that when we pray in faith, even mountains will move at our command.
Friend, it is time to get result in your prayer life. To pray in faith is to make a decree according to the belief you have in the word of God. Faith grows in our heart when we meditate in the word of God. Faith grows in our hearts when we are inspired by the word of God (Romans 10:17). Don’t keep looking at your situation, but take the word of God in your mouth, cast out the devil and he will flee (James 4:6-7). Peace!
Prayer: Lord, all that troubles my life must move out today in Jesus’ name.
“WHEN WE DON’T DOUBT, THE ANSWERS TO OUR PRAYERS ARE SURE”.
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.
