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 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”.
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 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 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.
