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.

A CONSECRATED HEART

A CONSECRATED HEART

SCRIPTURE: PROVERBS 23:22-26
DEVOTIONAL: “My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways” (Vs.26)

    The state of our hearts is very important whenever we want to ask for anything in prayers and receive from God. The state of people’s heart is the reason they cannot receive from God. Our heart determines our motives and intentions. There is always an intention for asking in prayers. When our intention is wrong, then the prayer cannot be answered. This is why we need consecrated hearts.

In today’s Scripture, there is a cry saying,” … give your heart to me”. This is the desire of God to every man. If anyone’s heart is not for God, it will be for the devil. This is the reason people ask amiss (James 4:3). Jesus told the Jews that they were following Him for fish and bread (John 6:26). A consecrated heart is a heart that has been given to Jesus. It is a heart that is devoted and dedicated to Him. Such heart has decided to follow Jesus and stay with Him no matter the circumstances (John 6:68). It is not following Jesus because its prayers were answered yesterday but it is staying with Him permanently because of who He is. 

God knows that consecrated hearts will not go anywhere because He is their only hope. They are ever focused when they ask anything in prayer because they know that there is no other way. They wait on God until their answers come (Job 14:14). This is why a consecrated heart always enjoy special treatment from God. Receive the grace!

Prayer: Lord, I dedicate my life to you permanently from today in Jesus’ name.

“THE BEST IS ALWAYS RESERVED FOR THE PERMANENT”.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.

FRUITFULNESS

FRUITFULNESS Psalms 128:1-6 Devotional:- Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine In the very heart of your house, Your children like olive plants All around your table” (V.3) NKJV      One of the blessings God pronounced on man at creation is fruitfulness. And today people are beginning to think that fruitlessness is a defect in the creation of man. So, most people are beginning to count it as natural to be fruitless. But we need to ask ourselves if there were defects in God's creation. Why should it be that it is only in human we often find such defects? How many goats or dogs have you found barren? Are we saying the same word of God spoken that brought the creation of all things has failed on the side of humans?  If you accept it as your lifestyle, it is your choice.

THE GRACIOUS

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.
