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.

DOING HIS WILL

DOING HIS WILL   

Matthew 7: 24-29
Devotional:-“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock:” (v. 24)


    The heart of man always wants to fathom his own way. That is why we need to mind the spirit that our heart submits to (Romans 6:16). A carnal mind does not think of submitting to God, the Bible says he cannot (Romans 8:5-7). As a child of God, when we live in the way of the word of God, we are walking in the wisdom of God and not of men.

 The scripture we read today says when we hear and obey the word of God, we are wise. We are wise because we will be building a life that cannot be destroyed by the mind and the storm of life. This is building on the wisdom of the ages that has pass through the test of time and keeps winning. That is why you must count the instructions of the word of God to be your wisdom (Deuteronomy 4:6). 

The word of God is our wisdom because God is wiser than us (Isaiah 55: 8-11). For example, it could look foolish to give a tenth of your income in church, but it is the wisdom of God because the word of God commanded it (Malachi 3:10-12). Those who obey the word of God knows what they gain from it. That makes some to even give 30% or more as tithe. So also is every instructions of the word of God (Prov 3: 5-6). Be wise to obey the Lord. The word is the law of the spirit and cannot be calculated by human mind. The devil or the flesh or worldly friends will never encourage you to do the will of God because they are not of God. God is superior to all and His word is superior. There are so many things we can't see or know. Be wise to always obey the Lord. Peace. 

Prayer: Lord, help me to always submit to your word.

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.
