HOUSE HIM

  HOUSE HIM Proverbs 23:19-28  Devotional:- “My son, give me your heart, And let your eyes observe my ways.” (V. 26) NKJV No man can actually have the best of God until you are really ready to house Him. As a man that married a woman will have to house her so also in Christ, though He is our husband yet we have to house Him (Ephesians 5:28-29). The scripture we read today is the wise counsel of God to us as His son, saying “… son give me your heart.” This is because until you give your heart to a lover you cannot totally have the enjoyment of the fill of His love. You will observe that when a man is truly in love, his entire mind is rapped into the love for his beloved. He cannot help longing for him. Some will even have the picture with them always and anywhere. Just to see it and feel loved. A true lover will always long for their beloved. He does not stay late or long outside because the beloved is in the house waiting. Friend, do you really love God. Does His love fill you...

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.

That is why God likened His children to the apple of His eye. The apple in the eye here is the figurative expression of the eyeball. As far as God is concerned, you are so precious and important. Can you imagine the value He puts on you to have allowed His only son to die just for you? Can you imagine the kind of pain He had to go through as a father looking at His son being nailed to the cross just because of you?

Stop allowing anything to threaten your security or your peace. He that watches over you never sleeps or slumbers (Psalms 121:4). You need to learn to live daily in the arms of the Lord (Hebrews 4:11). And do not allow anything to shake your confidence. Go out each day and make your journey with the peace and confidence of God, knowing that you will surely return safely. Stop panicking. You are too precious and special to God. He is jealously watching over you like His eye. Even the devil knows this. That is why, until you are made afraid, you cannot be defeated. Don’t let anyone deceive you into any information of fear. God is watching over you. And you are secure daily.

Prayer: Lord, help me to always believe in your care for me.

“YOUR LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE DETERMINES YOUR LEVEL OF SECURITY.”

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

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.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
