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.

HUMILITY

Scripture Reading: James 4:1-10
Devotional:- Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. (V. 10) NKJV


    A person with a proud hearted cannot praise the Lord. Pride will not allow anyone to be qualify before the Lord. Pride is a function of overestimation of self, above the actual level of grace (Romans 12:3). A proud man will see praises as childish affairs and feel he cannot condescend so low to be jumping like a monkey in church in the name of praise (2 Samuel 6:20-23).

People become proud because they are not strong enough to manage their level and the level is controlling them. People become proud because they refuse to work over their unrealistic ego, so the ego will keep tormenting them in defeat and failure. Others become proud because they want to proof they are somebody, so they have to pretend to be who they are not (Proverbs 13:7).

Friend, God's word says “lifting comes by humility” (1 Peter 5:6). It will therefore be wrong to hinder your way to progress. God is not our classmates, so we have to praise Him as our creator, Lord, owner of our soul, the bridegroom of the bride, our saviour and our redeemer. See, your title does not open the door of His presence for you. Rather, it is your humility that will give you grace to access Him (James 4:6-7). Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me a humble heart for my lifting.

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.
