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.

REDEEMED TO GOD

REDEEMED TO GOD

Ephesians 1:3-10
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (V. 7) NKJV

    To be redeemed is to be bought from the slave market. When a slave is up for sale, a relation may come to buy back home. That is redemption. All men are in the slave market of sin (John 8:34). Jesus came as a saviour to redeem us from the power of sin (Matthew 1:21).

 A true Christian is the one that Jesus has redeemed by his blood unto God (Revelation 5:9). You need this understanding to be a Christian. This is because that makes you know you are now purchased unto God. You now belong to God and no more for the devil or the world. You are no more for yourself (1 Corinthians 6:20). You need this understanding to know that no other power have right over your life.

Friend, since you have been redeemed by the blood of Jesus, all glory belongs to Him. Sin and its power have no right over your life anymore. You are now a child of God and have nothing to do with the devil and darkness anymore (Ephesians 5:11-12). God’s word says you are now a king and a priest (Revelation 5:9-10). So playing around with the ungodly endangers your redemption. The Lord will sustain you to the end in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep my redemption in mind.

“Whoever does not keep his/her redemption in mind will soon be enslaved again”.
