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 

Scripture Reading: John 17:13-19
Devotional:- “And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth” (V. 19

    To be sanctified is to be set apart as holy unto the Lord. If any child of God shall remain in the righteousness of Christ, he must be sanctified unto the Lord. This is an act of seeing self as separated and different from the commons to the Lord (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).

To be sanctified is not to start to live an isolated life but to see ourselves different from the worldly (John 15:19; John 17:15-16). We are different because the Spirit in us is different to the one in the world (1 John 3:8-9; Romans 8:9). So, we are able by the help of the Holy Spirit to bear the fruits of the spirit (Galatians 5:22-23).

To be sanctified is possible when a child of God is studying and meditating on the word of God regularly (Psalm119:9). It is as we purge our mind by the word of God (Ephesians 5:26) and our mind stored the word that our thought and talk become different by the word of God (John 17:17-19). If anyone call him/herself a child of God and does not study the word of God, he cannot have the behaviour of God. He will compromise at the face of persecution. Only those who are sanctified unto God are children of God. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me the grace to be sanctified unto you.

“IT IS SANCTIFICATION THAT HELPS TO MAINTAIN THE CLOTH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”
