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.

PURPOSE OF PRAISES

PURPOSE OF PRAISES

Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7
Devotional:- “And he touched my mouth with it, and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged."” (V. 7)

    God created us to praise Him for the purpose of Him been able to influence us. Every man is influenced by one thing or the other. It is either a man is influenced by the Spirit of God or the spirit of the devil (Job 32:8). At creation we see God pouring Himself into man (Genesis 2:7). God made us to be an influence over all His other creatures. But we can see from the life of Adam and Eve, how the devil came to influence them to sin against God. He seeks to do the same to all man and woman till now.

Isaiah was in the spirit and he saw the Lord (Isaiah 6:1). This was possible because He was in fellowship with God (Psalm 22:3). He saw the angels of God singing Holy, Holy, Holy. Prophet Isaiah said he saw himself unclean, but one of the angels took a coal of fire to touch his lips. That way, God influenced him to be a quality vessel for His glory.

Friend, until God keep influencing you for His glory, life will be with much difficulty. He influenced us by pouring Himself into us (Joel 2:28). He influences us by cleansing us (Isaiah 1:18). He influenced us by instructing us into destiny (Acts 13:2). He influences us by inspiring us to act in faith for achievements (Job 32:8). He influences us to be strong to conquer and to fulfill our destiny (1 Samuel 17:32). All of these acts of influencing happen in the places of fellowship and praises (Acts 13:2). Peace!

 PRAYER: Lord, help me to always enjoy your influences over my life through praises

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.

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.

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.
