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.

IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

IMPUTED RIGHTEOUSNESS

Scripture Reading: Romans 4:1-8 
Devotional:- “Just as David also describes the blessedness of the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works:” (V.6)

    All believers need to understand that our walk in the righteousness of God is in two dimensions. The fundamental truth is that righteousness is of God. No man can be righteous before Him (Isaiah 64:6; Psalm 143:2) Jesus came to shed His blood to purchase the righteousness of God for us (Romans 5:17-20)

This righteousness of God is given to us through the death and resurrection of Jesus. He took our place by dying for us and now we live in the sight of God wearing the righteousness of God. This righteousness is imputed on us as a garment as we give our life to Jesus by faith in the work of the Cross (Romans 13:21-22; 10:10)

All kingdom citizens must always put on this righteousness by faith. It is a spiritual cloth over our soul and not the white garment some wear to church and put off another time. We must put it on always by faith (Galatians 3:27). When God look at you, He sees His nature and His righteousness in you. It is your dress code for your security here, to access God’s goodness and to access heaven (Isaiah 3:10; Rev.19:8)

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always wear your righteousness by faith in Christ.

“ANYONE WITHOUT CHRIST’S RIGHTEOUSNESS CAN’T REIGN WITH CHRIST”
