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.

IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

IDENTIFY YOUR PURPOSE

Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:1-7
Devotional:-“And also if anyone competes in athletics, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules” (v. 5) NKJV

    A major factor hindering many people from becoming successful in the black race is the inability to live in the purpose of life. God has made all things to fall in place for man when he lives in his purpose (Matthew 6:33). To be able to live in the purpose of God for our lives, we have to discover that purpose and then give ourselves to it. A major hindrance to the discovering of the purpose of men is man not thinking of the need for the purpose. By so, man live for the wrong purpose which is material. These are the things that are already provided for us.

As much as money and material things are important for our living on earth, they are not the reason we are here. So, we are to work towards them at our capacity and be thankful. Discovery of purpose will help us to set our priority right. It will give us the right goal and focus. If focus is wrong, people will miss their success. Our purpose is known by our maker. And the Bible is our guide.

In the scripture, we discover that the purposes of man are: to aim at bringing glory to God through all that we are doing, to love others and be part of His family, to grow our spirit and soul to be like Him, to live and bless others and to bring others to the saving grace of Christ (Matthew 22:37-40; 28:19-20). When a man understands these, his success will be rightly defined. His focus will be righteous and his life will be blessed by the Lord. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, give me good understanding of my purpose on earth.

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.
