APPLE OF HIS EYE

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.

CHRIST LIKE

CHRIST LIKE         

Scripture: Act 11: 19-26 
Devotional:-“And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch” (v.26) NKJV


    A growing kingdom citizen demonstrates it in his character. Our character is what shows that we are truly growing. Our character is the sum total of our belief, habits and attitudes. Our character is what we are known for. The kind of behavior or reactions people known with us. They are the traits of life style deduced by people’s observation of what we do. 
God’s word told us that it was in Antioch that the believers were first called Christians. Those who called them Christians were not necessarily believers. These are people who have seen Jesus and observe His characters. And now they observe this believer behaving like Jesus, so they call them Christians. This means people who are Christ like.
That is not a religious name as it is supposed today, but it is a name of people who are like Christ. That makes it so important that you and I keep growing in the character and the attitude of Jesus. We must make Him our character model. We must observe all He does. We must study His word and pray His life style into our life. We are Christians when our life reflects that of Jesus. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep conforming to your character. 

"ONLY THE CHARACTER OF CHRIST MAKES A CHRISTIAN"
