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.

NEVER BE PROUD

James 4:1-10 NKJV
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” (V 6)

    Pride is a sign of selfishness, ego and foolish thought. It is a sign of unbrokenness and rebellion. Pride is simply the display of emptiness. It is only a man who has nothing that tries to prove that he is something. Pride is simply a sign of proving that you don’t need God or that you are more than God.

God treats the proud in a terrible way. No proud person can win in the race of life. Eventually he is going to destroy himself. The moment a man is proud, God will remove his grace from his life. Watch him, falling is close to him, because it takes the grace of God for us to be victorious over the devil in this world.

God’s word says, whoever exalts himself shall be abased (Mark 23:12). That means he shall be made to fall so that he can learn (Proverbs 16:18). When you humble yourself, it makes you enjoy more of His grace. You will also discover that you are performing better when you are humble.

No one can stand to overcome the devil without the backing of God. If you therefore, desire to be an overcomer you cannot stand to be proud. Submit yourself to God, then, you have grace to stand against the enemy and overcome. If you can humble yourself then you are on God’s list of the lifted. Wherever you are today and whatever you have today is small compare to your future in God. Humble yourself that your future will not be destroyed.

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride

“THERE IS NO LIMIT TO THE LIFTING OF THE HUMBLE’

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.
