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.

SENSE OF INCAPABILITY

SENSE OF INCAPABILITY

Scripture Reading: Judges 6:11-21
Devotional:- “So he said to Him, "O my Lord, how can I save Israel? Indeed my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” (V. 15)

    Sometimes -we feel incapable. This is because of our different experiences of failure. In such experiences, instead of carefully looking at what was wrong, we conclude inwardly ‘we can't do it’. But looking at issues critically, we will see that we are the one who do not recognize the ability of God in us and develop it.

The Angel of the Lord salute Gideon as a mighty man of valor. But Gideon was judging himself rather as incapable. This was because he saw the enemy stronger and saw his tribe smaller and weaker. He is already having a defeated mentality. But the angel was saluting him based on the ability of God he could recognize in Gideon.

Friend, anytime you tell yourself you are not capable, you are not always right. Let us be careful of looking at our experiences in life to conclude our ability. Moses also felt incapable before God, though the ability of a great leader was in him that he did not know (Exodus 3:11, 4:10). Whenever God is giving you a dream or an idea, it is because He has kept the ability for such in you. It is therefore, your responsibility to discover your abilities and ask for the strength of God (Philippians 4:13). Divine strength comes as we meditate on the word of God for our strength (Isaiah 40:31). Arise and win. Peace

PRAYER: Lord, reveal the riches in me to me

“SENSE OF INCAPABILITY IS A SPIRIT OF EXCUSES TO LET YOU MISS YOUR PLACE. WATCH OUT”
