EYE SALVE

“…Anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.” Revelation 3:18

A Daily Devotional by Pastor Terry Fischer

Eye Salve is a short devotional that Pastor Terry Fischer writes regularly to challenge and encourage the saints of God.

It is meant to be short and sweet and comes from his daily reading and prayer.

Eyesalve: Not By Accident

By | Eyesalve

Now it came to pass in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehemjudah went to sojourn in the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons6Then she arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the LORD had visited his people in giving them bread.” Ruth 1:1,6

 

God uses people’s difficulties and troubles to fulfill His will. This famine was not by accident. This was God’s way to get the godly Ruth out of the land of Moab and bring her to Israel to be in the lineage of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.

Eyesalve: Grievous Wolves

By | Eyesalve

For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” Acts 20:29

 

Some pastors are so timid they would dare not call out anyone’s name who is discovered to be a wolf. Yet, they don’t understand it when they lose the sheep who have become easy prey for wolves in sheep’s clothing. Saints, don’t rebuke or criticize your pastor or other ministers, who in love, warn the body of Christ of the danger that some people are. Be grateful that they understand that the souls of people are way more important than the people’s feelings.

Eyesalve: Never the Loser

By | Eyesalve

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” Rom. 8:35-37

 

Who, but Christians, can be in the midst of tribulation, distress, persecution and such and never be the loser?

Eyesalve: All The Day

By | Eyesalve

“Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.” Ps. 71:8

Some Christians may say that this verse is an exaggeration. Who can praise and honor God all day long? If you know a man that is going to be marrying a virgin that he loves, ask him who is on his mind. Ask the family who is going on a great vacation in a few days what their minds are on. Ask young children a few days before Christmas what they are thinking about. You can’t help but to think about and ponder on that which you are excited about.

Eyesalve: Save Our Planet

By | Eyesalve

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.” Rom. 8:22

 

All this talk about saving the planet. How can man save a planet he corrupted? There was no problem with our planet until man fell into sin. Now our planet groans and no nation or nations can do anything about it except one thing. Quit sinning!

Eyesalve: Don’t Dabble

By | Eyesalve

And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah. Jdg. 16:4

 

Up to this point of the story, it never said that Samson loved the women that he had encounters with. Now we see that Samson loved Delilah. The lesson we learn is if you keep on dabbling and entertaining sin, one day you will love it to your destruction.

Eyesalve: What the Sinner Needs

By | Eyesalve

Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.” Jn. 4:10

 

 

Jesus knew the Samaritan woman was a fornicator and he had no problem exposing it in her life. However, when he approached her, He did not come to her with a list of religious rules to obey or with a condemning heart, He came offering her living water. Hallelujah! Living water is the answer for every sinner.
