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.

HOPE DEFERRED

Job 14:6-9
Devotional:- “For there is hope for a tree, if it’s cut down, it sprouts again and grows tender new branch” (V. 7) TLB

    The challenge of life could weigh a man down beyond his faith and bring him to the level of hopelessness. Many people today have no hope of good things happening to them anymore. They have been waiting on God for quite sometimes and their hope is getting wearied.

To be hopeless is to conclude there is no better tomorrow. This happens to us sometimes when we put our expectations on men or when we over-expect from people. It could also be that we do not know that hope in God is made strong by the wisdom of patience in divine instructions (Hebrews 6:12). If this situation is not arrested quickly, it could lead to loss of vision, purpose, and faith in God. This is the goal of the enemy, but he has failed.

Listen to the powerful statement from Job: even if a tree is cut down there is hope for it. At the smell of water, it shall bud again, no matter what has been delayed in your life, if there is hope for a tree, there is hope for you. Don’t let your heart be wearied (Proverb 13:12). Please know that this is a strategy of the devil to remove you totally from faith in God. Therefore, renew your trust in God’s word by stretching your root to His word. Your hope shall come again.

Remember the faithfulness of God is from generation to generation. If He did not fail Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph, He will not fail you. You will rise again; all your lost time and materials shall be recovered. You may think you are losing time, but He is keeping time. You shall celebrate your progress and prosperity in Jesus name. It’s not over.

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO FIND NEW HOPE IN YOU.

“YOU ARE NOT LOSING TIME; GOD IS ONLY KEEPING TIME”

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.
