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.

CHASTISEMENT OF GOD

CHASTISEMENT OF GOD

Hebrews 12:1-11
Devotional:-  For whom, the Lord loves, He chastens and scourges every son whom He receives (V. 6) NKJV

    Some people always hate to be corrected. But this is a product of their ignorance. That is why Solomon said it is foolishness to hate correction (Proverbs 12:1). One of the attitudes of God as a good father is to chastise His people. This is because if a man is left to his evil, he will end up in destruction.

In the scripture we read today God's word instructs us as dear sons of God not to hate, refuse, or be offended by the chastisement of God. For example, if a Christians stop paying his tithe, God could suddenly make things tight for him. The purpose is to call his attention to his error and make corrections. Wisdom therefore demands that you should always check why things are not working for you. Sometimes it is God that is standing against some people's progress because of their disobedience. He did that to Balaam on his horse (Numbers 22:31-34). And He is still doing it to date. All that some people need is just mercy.

Friend, it will be wise for you to recognize God's correction and repent in time before losing many things. Stop going from church to church because you are disciplined. If God is against you whoever prays for you is in trouble. This is because God is a pillar of fire in front of you and someone is setting you free from Him. But as soon as you repent, He will remove devourer and His barriers from you (Joel 2:25). The earlier the better.

Prayer: Lord, give me a repentant heart.
