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.

AUTHENTIC 

Scripture Reading: Luke 16:1-8
Devotional:- “So the master commended the unjust steward because he had dealt shrewdly. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in their generation than the sons of light” (V. 8) NKJV


    To be able to overcome financial challenges in our lives, we must learn the act of being authentic. Wrong or insincere spending will always lead to poverty. To be authentic is to live a life that is conforming to the fact on ground. To be authentic is to be factual with ourselves when it comes to the decisions on money and spending. Forcing yourself and borrowing to attain friends’ level is consuming the future.
The Bible tells us to learn from the unfaithful steward, Jesus did not ask us to learn his unfaithfulness but his act of authenticity. He knew he has messed up. He knew there is no one to help him again. This reality made him to practice smart cheating on his boss. We are not to cheat because we are children of God, but we are to be sincere. Borrowing to look big is foolishness, it is self deception. It is borrowing what you don't have, to feed those who don't love you and to earn a fake honour.

There is a need for us to know our level per time. Don't envy anyone. Sit down to see how you will start to grow your finances from your level of income. Start to save, no matter how small. Be sincere to yourself. Don't pretend anymore. Putting your children in a school that you can't afford the school fees but because the children of your friends attends the school is wrong. The time has come to be factual with yourself. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from the spirit of pleasing people.

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.
