APPLE OF HIS EYE

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.

STUDY THE WORD

STUDY THE WORD    

Joshua 1: 1-9
Devotional:- “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success” (v.8) NKJV


   To grow is to increase in strength and strength is adding up in knowledge (Proverb 24:5) Those who hate knowledge cannot grow. That is why ignorance is a sin to God. (Hosea 4:6) This is because, those who lack knowledge have deliberately ignore knowledge. They don’t want to take the pain or pay the price. As a child of light, you must not live-in ignorance or else you will expose yourself to the activities of the devil (1 John 1:7). 

The word of God says, we must meditate on the word to be able to gain strength to do them. The challenge with studying is the fact that it is beyond reading. It is working or laboring to get more insight from an information. It is making research into an information. To make research demand some level of repetition and tautology. So, the lazy always avoid it. If you want to grow as a citizen of the kingdom of God, you must study the word of God. There is nothing really good that is at the surface. Good virtues are deeper than normal. It takes strong determination to fetch them out. 

Friend, stop rushing to read your Bible. Take two or three verses at a time and study them deeply by meditating over them. You need to search deeper to gain understanding (Psalm 119:130). Then you will find strength to do or to obey the word of God. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, give me the grace to study.

ALTERNATIVES

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

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

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.
