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.

WHAT IS A WORK?

WHAT IS A WORK?

Genesis 2:8-17
Devotional : "Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Aden to tend and keep it.” (V. 15)


    It is important we have good understanding of what a work is. Without work, a life will be useless and worthless. God created us to work. God’s word says, He that will not work should not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10). One of the evil that has plagued the world today is that, we have wrongly defined what a work is and limit it to only a means of income.

The scripture we read today shows us why God put man in the world, it is to work. A work is an effort expended on a particular assignment. It is a measure of energy released, either Spiritual, mental or physical, in moving an object from its original state to a better state of life. It is reshaping a thing or an event to benefit humanity. It is to provoke, excite or influence positive change. This is what God is waiting to bless. 

Friend, as we await the coming of our Lord Jesus, we must know that we shall be rewarded in eternity for our work (2 Corinthians 5:10). Work is  demonstrating the goodness of God through your life of faith. Work is not a curse, but a blessing. Do not keep wasting the blessing, energy, gifts and talents of God in your life. It is time to find a place to use them to make life better. Be involved in domestic, community and kingdom work from now. And your reward will be abundant. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, help me to impact lives with my work

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.
