Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 44, Day 4, Wednesday, 30th October 2024 TOPIC: TRUSTING GOD: Involves Obedience (4)


TOPIC: TRUSTING GOD: Involves Obedience (4) 

MEMORY VERSE: 
Proverbs 3:5-6.
"5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
"6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

BIBLE READING:
Genesis 22:1-3.
"1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am."
"2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of."
"3. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him."

Thinking Point:
Obedience is a proof of trust. Even when instructions seem stupid or senseless, trust makes you obey it to the latter.

Many are tagged disloyal because of their disobedience. There's no fear In obeying whom you trust. If you can't obey someone it's because you don't trust him. So, the proof of our trust in God is our obedience to every detail He commands us. The level of our trust determines the level of our obedience. In John 2:7-8,
"7. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim."
"8. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it."

Why will the disciples obey Jesus' instructions, after filling the water pot with water, to take it to the governor of the ceremony that this is a wine? Complete trust produces complete obedience. They are not bothered by what they know but what he instructed them to do.

Likewise, Abraham has only one child, Isaac, whom the Lord called a promise child, then God said, 
"Take now Thy Son, Thine Only Son Isaac, Whom Thou Lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; And Offer Him There For A Burnt Offering Upon One Of The Mountains Which i will Tell Thee Of.""

What powerful and confusing instructions! I mean, you hear the voice saying, I need that only car of yours, give it to me? Won't you ask, "who is speaking?" "Who are you talking to?" Or "I rebuke that spirit right now". But your level of trust is tested by your obedience. Listen to me, God will not test your trust in Him with valueless things but what is special to you. How far can you go in proving your trust in God through your obedience? The widow of Zarephath's trust was tested with her last meal prepared for Elijah, and she obeyed. What is your level of obedience to God when it comes to your resources? Our trust in God is proofed by our obedience.

Good day and God Bless you.

TOPIC: UNREQUESTED FAVOUR: By Showing Hospitality (6)  MEMORY VERSE:  Jeremiah 29:11. "11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." BIBLE READING:  2 Kings 4:13-17. "13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people." "14. And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old." "15. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door." "16. And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid." "17. And the woman conceived, and bare a son at t...

Mobile Daily Devotional with Oluboye Emmanuel Week 16, Day 3, Tuesday, 15th April 2025 TOPIC: CAUSES OF DELAY: Lack Of Good Leadership or Mentorship (3)

Image
TOPIC: CAUSES OF DELAY: Lack Of Good Leadership or Mentorship (3) One Year Bible Reading:  Judges 19 - 21, Luke 14: 25 - 15: 1 - 10. MEMORY VERSE:  Deuteronomy 1:6. "6. The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:" BIBLE READING:  Exodus 33:11. "11. And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle." Thinking Point: The best way to enjoy speed in life is to be led by those who had plight that road and succeeded before. We started by saying disobedience to God's instructions leads to delay, and yesterday we were made to know that lack of direction can also be the reason for delay. Today, lack of good leadership or mentorship leads to delay in one's life. Imagine following someone who doesn't have any record of success in life and who never sees reas...
