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.

BEEN BETTER
Daniel 1: 8-21
Devotional:-“And in all matters of wisdom and understanding about which the king examined them, he found them ten timesbetter than all the magicians and astrologers who were in all his realm” (v.20) NKJV
To be better than others in life is a function of growth. It is growing better that makes a life better. We have placed so much importance on learning academically but we must be careful not to miss out in applying the knowledge for our growth. As a child of God, you need to always apply the word of God to your life to grow up and be better.
Daniel and his three Hebrew friends became better because they gave themselves to learning the wisdom of God by relating with God (Daniel 1:3-4). The rest of the royal seed there were only eating and drinking. That will only make the body look good. It takes growth to live in the will, the way, wisdom of the Lord to be better and stand out in this wicked world.
Friend, stop following God religiously. Christianity is not a religion, but a way of life. It is the life of Christ. Until you start to live by the word of God, you may not be better or preferred in this world. This is because the word makes us stand out as light to the darkness of the world (Matthew 5: 14-16). For our life to be better, we need to live by the word of God and we shall be a star in the world. Peace.
Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to build up and be preferred in life
"IF YOUR LIFE WILL BE BETTER, THEN RELATE MORE WITH 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.
