Mobile Daily Devotional with Oluboye Emmanuel Week 14, Day 1, Sunday, 30th March, 2025 TOPIC: LESSONS FROM HANNAH'S LIFE: Be Personal About Your Vow. (8)


TOPIC: LESSONS FROM HANNAH'S LIFE: Be Personal About Your Vow. (8)

One Year Bible Reading: 
Joshua 5 - 6, Luke 8: 1 - 39

MEMORY VERSE: 
Heb. 13:8
"8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."

BIBLE READING: 
1 Sam. 1:10 -11
10 And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed to the LORD and wept in anguish. 11 Then she made a vow and said, “O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a male child, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.”

Thinking Point:
When making a vow, don't attach others to the fulfillment.

We discussed "Being Specific About Your Vow" yesterday. Today, let us move ahead. Be personal about fulfillment of your vow. It is very wrong to commit others in your vows. Hannah was lucky that her son, Samuel, was able to accept her mother's costly vow. Jephthah was also lucky he had a child who could understand with him. What if those children rejected their parent's vow? What if they replied to their parents with, "you made the vow, pay it yourself, I can't be punished for your mistake".

Don't commit others to paying your vows. Make a vow you will remit without involving others. Thank God for Elkanah who understood the plight of Hannah, the scripture said in Num. 30:6-8, that, if a man voids his wife's vow, it is cancelled, the vow shall not stand. Before making your vow inform whoever needs to be involved because all vows must be paid.

Make vows you can remit conveniently. God is not after the size but the genuineness and faithfulness of the vow. Make a vow you alone can remit without involving another party and don't commit yourself to vows you can't afford.

Hear what King Solomon said in Ecclesiastical 5:4,
"4. When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed."

After Hannah fulfilled her vow more children came through her. There's reward in fulfilling your vow. See you tomorrow, still on vow.

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)

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...
