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.

HEIRS OF GOD

HEIRS OF GOD

Galatians 4:1-7
Devotional:- “Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ” (V. 7) NKJV

    A slave is different from a son. A son bears the name of his father and has access to the father and all that he has. But it is not so with the slave. You hardly see the son of a great man suffering except he is not a legal son or disobedient to his father. The truth is that you are not to suffer as a Son of God. It is not your portion to be sick, fail, or be sorrowful. It is so in the life of many children of God because, though they are heirs of God, they refuse to grow to be sons. This is not gender-based but maturity-based.

The scripture we read today says the heir is not different from a slave as long as he is a child (Galatians 4:3-4). Though he owns all things, he is under the control of others. At such a time, even the slave could determine and control his life. That is why many Christians today are not in control of many good things in life.

Friend, the scripture is the book of truth. The truth refers to you as the heir of God. But you have to grow to maturity and become a son from a child. That is when you will be bold to take your place in Christ. What makes you grow in Christ is your fellowship with God through His word. That is, daily taking the word of God as food (Luke 4:7). Your fellowship with God in prayers, your fellowship with the church (Hebrew 10:25), and your obedience to God’s instructions are important. Let your fellowship with God be with meditation.

If you remain a child in God, it is a trick of the enemy to deprive you of your heritage in Christ. Don’t be a distant child from God; you will be suffering like the world (Psalms 82:5-8). Stop behaving like a bastard. Grow up in Christ, and your heritage shall fall into your hands. Wake up!

PRAYER: LORD, HELP ME TO ALWAYS FELLOWSHIP MEDITATIVELY WITH YOU TO GROW UP.

“YOUR GROWTH IN THE LORD DETERMINES YOUR STRENGTH FOR EXPLOITS ON THE EARTH.”

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.

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.

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.
