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.

YOU CAN SUCCEED

YOU CAN SUCCEED

Judges 6:11-21
Devotional:- "Then the LORD turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” (V. 14).

    Many people often look at success as something impossible for them. They live as slave to destiny writing off their chances of success. They have a look of failure and are not expecting a better tomorrow. This is a product of long time in the same situation. They have tried and tried to no avail. They seem to have concluded that success is impossible for them.

The angel of the Lord said to Gideon, go and conquer the Midianites. You are a mighty man of valour. The angel spoke according to the Grace he could see upon Gideon but Gideon saw himself as incapable and a failure. He does not have the right view of himself. He does not see what God can do through him (Philippians 4:13).

Friend, there is no one who cannot succeed. We only need to build up to succeed. We only need to work on our attitude and on our mind-set. He who made you did not make you to fail. He packaged you to be able to succeed. The success of others should not intimidate you or make you feel more like a failure. Your experiences are not to stop your life but to guide you out of failure (Hebrews 5:8). God allow you to go through all you’ve been going through is not to make you remain a failure. We are to learn from our failure experiences and grow. We are not to become Mr or Mrs Failure. If you can change your mind-set about yourself and learn right attitude toward life, you will succeed. Peace!

Prayer: Lord, give me the courage to believe in my ability to succeed.

“DON’T GIVE IN TO FAILURE FOR YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE”
