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.

WISDOM TO GATHER

WISDOM TO GATHER

Genesis 41:46-57
Devotional:- “And Joseph gathered grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting for it could not be measured” (V. 49) AMPL

    One of the great virtues that have eluded the life of many people on the earth is the inability to gather good fortune in life. This in turn produces poverty and an inability to achieve good and great things in life. Since many do not understand what is wrong with them, they then resort to looking for wealth through any means good or bad. But let me introduce you to a God who can teach you to profit and give you the power to gather good wealth.

Joseph was a young man exalted in the land of Egypt. During the time of his rulership in the land, God gave him wisdom to gather. And he was successful in the assignment given to him by the king. What wisdom is this? It is wisdom that comes as a virtue of God’s grace. He never saw any of the goods as belonging to him. So, he lives in faithfulness, integrity, loyalty and self-discipline. Not by power nor by might nor by any human ability.

When a life is submitted to God in obedience to His instructions, He guides and empowers to gather. It is therefore a product of knowing the will of God and doing it. It is a product of asking God what to do and doing it (Isaiah 1:19). Then He will be able to lead us into abundance that is more than our needs (Psalm 23:1). And we will need the grace to deny ourselves to start to set things aside no matter how little. Savings is not just a practice but an attitude. There are several ways to walk in this. You can enquire about this. Joseph started saving 20% of the land till he lost count. As soon as you take up this attitude you will have your gathering as the sand of the sea in Jesus name.

Prayer: Lord, teach my hand to gather.

“WHEN YOU ENJOY GRACE TO GATHER YOU CANNOT BUT ENTER INTO YOUR WEALTH”

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.
