APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:6-10  Devotional:- “For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye” (v.8) NKJV      We need to know that God is so jealous of us and He wants to preserve us. Though we are living in a wicked world, God has His program to protect and preserve His children. It is only a wicked father who will not protect his own people when he possesses the ability to do so. And God is a good father. Whatever loss you have experienced in the past, this year will be a year of better experiences for you. It shall be peaceful and calm.

TRADING THE FLESH

TRADING THE FLESH

Romans 8:1-11
Devotional:- “For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace (v. 6)

        A major challenge of most relationship is our ‘self”. Each one is always trying to display and uphold his “self”. This causes much rift whenever any family is settling dispute or disagreements. It is also important that we remember that when we give our life to Jesus, we gave out our self and take his life. The flesh or self is the mind-set of our culture, tradition and nature. So as children of God we can no longer allow the flesh or our canal mind or self to rule our lives or ruin our relationship (Romans 6:14)

To overcome the flesh, the Bible tells us to give it to God as a living sacrifice (Romans 12:1-2). A sacrifice is normally killed, though we are still alive but we should consider ourselves dead to sin and self (Romans 6:11). That is seeing yourself totally disconnected from sin and the world but only connected to God. That is the reason Jesus said we must be converted and be as a child to learn the way of the kingdom of God (Matthew 18:3). As long as a man has the mind-set of the world, he will not be able to please God (Rom 8:7-8). We are to start to unlearn all the cultural and traditional approach of living. We are to start to renew our mind in the word of God. (Rom 12:2)

As a child of God, you should not think of fighting back anymore or living a life of sin (Galatians 2:20). That way, you will enjoy your relationship. Peace

Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of self.

“IT IS WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF YOUR SELF THAT GOD CAN LIVE THROUGH YOU”
