APPLE OF HIS EYE

APPLE OF HIS EYE Zechariah 2:6-10  Devotional:- “For thus says the LORD of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye” (v.8) NKJV      We need to know that God is so jealous of us and He wants to preserve us. Though we are living in a wicked world, God has His program to protect and preserve His children. It is only a wicked father who will not protect his own people when he possesses the ability to do so. And God is a good father. Whatever loss you have experienced in the past, this year will be a year of better experiences for you. It shall be peaceful and calm.

OVERCOMING FRUSTRATION

OVERCOMING FRUSTRATION

John 21:3-11
Devotional:- “Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also." They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing” (V. 3) NKJV

    One of the terrible experiences of life is frustration. It is always the case when our expectations are defeated. Many are frustrated when matters come to a hopeless situation and they do not really know what to do. That is the reason we need to understand what causes frustration. God has not planned this for us. This only happens when we refuse to take to the wisdom of God or when we are not willing to wait patiently for God’s time and programme.

Let us learn from the story of the disciples we in the scripture today. They were ordained by God to be great evangelists on the earth just like you and I were also ordained. The earth was waiting for their manifestation. After the resurrection, Jesus commissioned them for the great manifestation but ignorance and needs will not make them rise. Peter the leader said, he was going for fishing instead of the work he was called into. The other disciples also joined him because they had the same intention of making money and becoming successful men like other. They were not really coming to the understanding and awareness of what heaven has for them (Hosea 4:6). And eventually they toil without result and come to a point of frustration. Frustration is waiting for everyone who will not be mindful of the calling and purpose of God.

Friend, to overcome this, you need to humble yourself and come back to Jesus. Allowing Him to re-adjust and order your steps. Trust not in your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Appreciate Him for His past deeds in your life. His joy will flow back to you. Let Him have His way in your life. Obey whatever He is asking you to do. And your story will start to change. Weeping will not help. There is a great future ahead of you, be willing to wait till your change comes. You will recover your lost glory and your life will recover speedily.

PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO LIVE ABOVE FRUSTRATION.

“MEN OF IGNORANCE AND IMPATIENCE ARE EASILY FRUSTRATED”

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.

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.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.
