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.

PEACEFUL BLESSING

PEACEFUL BLESSING

Joshua 7:16-26
Devotional:- “When I saw among the spoils a beautiful Babylonian garment, two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold weighing fifty shekels, I coveted them and took them. And there they are, hidden in the earth in the midst of my tent, with the silver under it” (V.21) NKJV

    God demonstrated His mighty power and delivered the children of Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and He brought them to their promised land. But as soon as they took over the promised land, a small nation defeated them in battle and they were embarrassed. They didn’t know that one man had just wrongly acquired wealth among them which set God against them. Then God allowed their enemies to defeat them. When an inquiry was made, Achan was discovered to have taken and hidden what God said they should not touch. He wanted to be smart enough to get rich quickly, not knowing that it was the way of destruction.

Today, the blessing some people are gathering is the one they have used “boldface” to get. They terrorize others to get wealth. People seem to have taken evil blessings to be good ones since they don’t understand the way to wealth. Not many want to labour genuinely to make it. Dangerous people devise ways of defrauding others for what they have laboured for.

A family or nation that plans to steal from others cannot be great. It is only a family or nation that is diligent that can enjoy the blessings of God. God’s blessing comes with peace and prosperity. You don’t need to fight anyone to get it. God’s blessing will come when you get involved in a genuine business that brings a peaceful blessing (Proverb 10:22). Achan ended up in destruction. Don’t follow such a path, face your business with godly wisdom and heaven will prosper you.

PRAYER: LORD, DELIVER ME FROM SINFUL AND DEADLY BLESSING.

“ENERGY INVESTED IN EVIL BLESSING WILL KILL ITS VICTIM. WATCH OUT”
