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.

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

DISTANCING FROM THE SCRIPTURES

Deuteronomy 8:1-11

  • Devotional:- “To teach you that man does not feed on bread alone but on every word that  comes from the mouth of the LORD” (v.3) NIV

    The word of God is the bank of our strength in God. The word of God is the strength of God. Through the word, God had done all He had done. God’s word says, without Him, nothing else was created (John 1:1-3). When a man therefore distances himself from the Word of God, He will lack the strength of God.

The trick of the devil today is to make us feel our work is more important than our God. He tells us it is our work that gives us the income we have. So, we cannot afford to play with our work in the name of God. Note that the lies of the devil is always half-truth, so we could be confused to accept them (John 8:44). Yes, our work is so important because that is where we make a living but not more important than God who is the source of your strength or energy to work (John 15:5). 

So many believers under this lies of the devil use the excuses of their work not to have time to read and meditate in the word of God. That is why it is easy for many people who have been great up there to suddenly come down. The truth is that when they were up, they never feed on what will sustain their lifting. Jesus said without Him we can do nothing.

Be careful not to keep celebrating your current level and forget to buildup in God for a higher place of life. In the word of God is your strength (Joshua 1:8). Never allow a day to pass without taking it as meal and you will keep growing in strength. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, Help Me To Always Love Your Word.

“LIVING BY BREAD ALONE MAKES MAN A BREAD FOR THE ENEMY.”
