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.

OBEDIENCE TO GOD

OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Scripture: Isaiah 48:16-22
Devotional:- "Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” (V 17) NKJV

    As we aspire to succeed in life, we need to know that there is a spiritual direction to our lives. This is because we are a spirit man. We are made like God and God is a spirit. He who neglect his spirit will end up governed by a wrong spirit to a terrible end. Obedience to God is being guided by the Spirit.

Obedience to God has to do with our recognizing the importance of God in guiding us to our success (Psalm 23:1). These takes us to the need of we allowing the Spirit of God to govern our spirit. By this, we will live in the fear of God and cultivate our mind to obey what the word of God is saying. The Spirit of God will always lead us to love, to bless and for our favour.

For us to be led by the Lord to our blessings, we need to always acknowledge the Holy Spirit in us (Proverbs 3:5-6). We need to always worship God and pray to him from our heart. We need to regularly meditate on the word of God (Joshua 1:8). That is when our actions can be guided by the Lord. Knowing Bible is not enough, but drinking into the spirit of the word of God. This is what helps us to be able to obey the Lord whenever we are instructed. Peace.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to keep a close relationship with you.

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 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.
