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.

LOVING HIS PEOPLE

LOVING HIS PEOPLE

1 John 4:10-21
Devotional:- If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? (V. 20)

    You cannot be a true believer and hate the people of God. Before anyone shows up in the church by any means they come God love them. They are the reasons He went on the cross to die (John 3:16). So if for any reasons you hate them, the spirit of God is not in you (1 john 4:20).

This does not mean the people in church are perfect people. It only means because you are a true child of God, you have love as your lifestyle and nothing can change it. The spirit of God comes with the spirit of love (Romans 5:5). So you know you love the brethren by forgiving them by enduring with them, by tolerating them and caring for them.

Friend, if you love the brethren you will care and share with them. If you truly love the brethren you will not feel too big to come to their level and relate or serve God together. If you love the brethren you will always be happy to be in fellowship with them. If you love the brethren you will not backbite or do anything to harm them. Only these make you a true child of God. Peace.

Prayer: Lord, Plant the spirit of love in my heart.

“Only those who can love belong to God.”
