Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 48, Day 7, Saturday, 30th November 2024 TOPIC: QUALITIES OF KING SOLOMON: Solomon Was Selfless (7)

TOPIC: QUALITIES OF KING SOLOMON: Solomon Was Selfless (7) 

MEMORY VERSE: 
2 Samuel 12:24
And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: AND THE LORD LOVED HIM.

BIBLE READING: 
1 Kings 3:9.
"9. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?"

Thinking Point:
Reasons for praying amiss is selfishness and self centred. When we are selfless we pray rightly. 

God has been faithful to us all, it's the last day of the month of November, regardless of your present situation, wherever you are at this moment, just show Him gratitude for keeping you till date, Hallelujah.

If there's anything that makes God happy and satisfied, it's when you sacrifice for others, when you put others in mind even before God. God created us "all" to be a watchman for one another, we are to impact everyone that comes our way in our capacity. When we pray, do you intercede for others? Do we remember to include them in our request or report them to God? Do we pray amiss because of our selfishness or pray aright because of our selflessness? In the account of James 4:3, the Bible says,
"3. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." This act was found in King Solomon who was a selfless king.

When God asked Him to present his request, check what he's request was,
"9. Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, That I May Discern Between Good And Bad: For Who Is Able To Judge This Thy So Great A People?"

His request was to judge the people of God rightly, not to frustrate them for selfish reasons, not to make life unbearable for them. He asked for an understanding heart to please God while judging God's children, what a request? When we ask for wealth, what is our focus with the wealth? When we ask for a job, do we ask so we can suppress others or put them in consideration? Most prayers are delayed or rejected because they are based on selfish reasons, God doesn't grant requests so that it'll hurt His children, He grants requests that work in favour of his children. Have you checked those requests of yours, are they selfish or selfless? Stop praying amiss by praying selflessly.

Good Morning 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...
