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.

SANCTIFICATION

SANCTIFICATION 

2 Chronicles 29:3-19
Dev:- And they gathered their brethren, sanctified themselves, and went according to the commandment of the king, at the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD. (v.15)


    It is very important as we wait for the coming of Jesus that we sanctify ourselves unto God. To sanctify oneself is to decide to separate oneself unto God. The word sanctification means separation. Many people follows the Lord but not many are separated unto Him. To sanctify yourself unto God is to consciously see yourself as belonging to the Lord.

There are two spirits that rules the world, the spirit of God and of the devil. Either of these two spirit rules in the life of all humanity without knowing. The spirit of the devil often want to come in to control the life of people and this can happen to anyone who is not careful (Mark 8:33). That is why you must consciously sanctify yourself unto the Lord.

In sanctification you determine and separate yourself unto God. This will make you look out for any activities of the devil around you and reject it. In your mind you must see yourself belonging only to the Lord (Ephesians 5:11). You must not have anything to do with the work of darkness. No matter who is advising you when you are sanctified to the Lord you will want to discern the spirit (Gen. 39:7-12). The attitude of Joseph, Daniel and the three Hebrew was because they sanctify (separated) themselves unto the Lord. This are the kind of people Jesus is coming for.  Be prepared!

Prayer: Lord I receive grace to sanctify myself unto you.

"IF YOU ARE NOT SEPARATED UNTO SOMETHING, THEN YOU ARE SEPARATED TO ANOTHER”
