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.

STAND ON

1 Chronicles 19:10-15
Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God. And may the LORD do what is good in His sight.” (V 13)

    Battles of life can sometimes look prevailing over us. It might even look as if one is failing despite all efforts. Sometimes some people look at their situation and conclude that they cannot survive it. They conclude on this because of what they can see happening around them physically but forgetting that situations and people’s comment are not good materials to judge the race of life.

The event we read in God’s word today shows us the army of Israel in the battle front. Their experiences have always been victories since God has always been with them. But now the battle seems going tough against them. Yet they refused to give up. They encouraged themselves and they stood on until they had their victory.

You need to also learn this wisdom. Learn to be courageous. Don’t be discouraged easily because of situation and people’s comments. If you can only stand on, you will become victorious. Throw away the pains of past failures. Re-organize yourself to relaunch against the enemy. Your yesterday’s failure is a proof that you can succeed. Also, failure is a proof that you can succeed tomorrow. Don’t give up. God is on your side. If you are weak physically God is not weak. Accept His strength by faith and stand on to victory. No power will be able to defeat you when God is in you.

Prayer: Lord, help me to keep standing my ground by faith in you.

“YOU CAN ONLY BE DEFEATED WHEN YOU GIVE IN OR GIVE UP”

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.
