TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Genuine Service Guarantees Safety (28) One Year Bible Reading:  I Chronicles 5 - 6, John 15: 18 - 16: 1 -16. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:10-12. "10. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. 11. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. 12. And Saul was afraid of David, because the LORD was with him, and was departed from Saul." Thinking Point: When services are rendered genuinely and with wisdom, God grants safety. Beloved, it is the last day of the month of May, the Lord has been good to us and has r...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Tame Your Thoughts (27) One Year Bible Reading:  I Chronicles 3 - 4, John 15: 1 - 17. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:8-9. "8. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward." Thinking Point: The best way to live our life is to have control over the thoughts in your heart. One of the least important things to do as believers is to control the thoughts that come into our heart. Because we are believers, that won't stop others from speaking and relating like an unbeliever. That we are Christians doesn't mean everyone around us should not smoke or womanize, no, we...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Tame Your Words (26) One Year Bible Reading:  I Chronicles 1 - 2, John 14: 15 - 31. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:6-9. "6. And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. 7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward." Thinking Point: Watch your words,...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Your Responsibility Determines Your Level (25) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 23 - 25, John 13: 31 - 14: 1 - 14. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:5. "5. ...., and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. Thinking Point: The functionality of your uniqueness is the pedestrian of your lifting. Without being proofed you can't be trusted with a higher task. Until you prove to be reliable and trusted then can man and God assign you your rightful placement. Someone might be good and excellent in what he/she does, without recommendations and proves nobody will be willing to entrust him/her with valuable lives and properties. When Joseph solved the riddles presented before him, the King ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: David's Humility (24) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 20 - 22, John 13: 1 - 30.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:5. "5. And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants." Thinking Point: Your achievements don't make you older than your age, learn to be humble always. One of the reasons why many are not lifted is the fact that they can't manage greatness, they can't handle people when they are lifted. Pride is the fastest way to the bottom while humility is the fastest way to the top. When you are controlled by your accomplishments, know that you can't stay longer at the top. Everyone who r...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Duties Of Destiny Helpers (23) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 18 - 19 John 12: 20 - 50.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:3-4. "3. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul. 4. And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle." Thinking Point: Destiny Helpers releases all we need for the fulfilment of our destiny willingly. This week, may our destiny helpers release to us every help for the fulfilment of our destiny in Jesus name, we will not miss them this week, those we have lost their destiny helpers shall recover and regain them in Jesus' wonderful name, Amen. When we come in contact with our destiny helpers nothing is to...

And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 18:1. "1. And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul." Thinking Point: Manifestation connects you to your Destiny helper. Happy Sunday to you all. This week, our helpers shall locate and attend to us in Jesus name, Amen. Like I always say, every great man became great with a little help. The difference from where we are today and where we are destined to be is a destiny helper. When we come in contact with our destiny helper everything becomes a miracle, doors begin to open, honour becomes part of us, things begin to turn ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Fame Is Earned Not Requested (21) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 13 - 15, John 11: 17 - 57.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:55-58. "55. And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 56. And the king said, Enquire thou whose son the stripling is. 57. And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand. 58. And Saul said to him, Whose son art thou, thou young man? And David answered, I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Bethlehemite." Thinking Point: Until you affect lives for God no one searches out your background. We bless G...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Becoming The Leader (20) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 10 - 12, John 11: 1 - 16.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:52-53. "52. And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 53. And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents." Thinking Point: The world is waiting for a courageous and God fearing leader, be that leader. Wherever there is chaos it's proof that a courageous and God-fearing leader is lacking. Any home that crashes is as a result of a bad leader, you may want to ask why? A leader isn't a dictator but o...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: End Every War (19) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 8 - 9, John 10: 22 - 42.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:50-51. '50. So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. 51. Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled." Thinking Point: When you defeat a circumstance, finish it to be sure it won't rise again. Victory is ours in Jesus name, amen. No power will be able to subdue us in life. When you are victorious how do you end the war? Did you cut down a tree leaving the root? When God gr...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Victory At Last (18) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 6 - 7, John 10: 1 - 21.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:49. "49. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, THAT THE STONE SUNK INTO HIS FOREHEAD; AND HE FELL UPON HIS FACE TO THE EARTH." Thinking Point: Victory is sure for those who endeavour to make the move. Today, I declare and decree, we will be victorious, we shall overcome, we will defeat the enemy in every aspect of our lives. The devil may look so strong and powerful, more exposed and intelligent, older and wiser but with God on our side, we are more than conquerors in Jesus. In our marriage, ministry, career, healthwise, academically, financially and spiritually, we will prevail in J...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Knowing The Appointed Time (17) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 4 - 5, John 9: 1 - 41.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:49. "49. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth." Thinking Point: We can't stop making attempts because no one knows the appointed day. A pleasant day ahead of us today in Jesus name, Amen. Today our focus on David is about repeated attempts on what we do best, doing things again and again until we are good at it. There are many failures before success but only one success supersedes all the accumulated failures. That is why you get to know someone today and later discover he's been doing t...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Hidden Strategy/Weapon (16) One Year Bible Reading:  2 King 1 - 3, John 8: 48 - 59.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:48-49 .  "48. And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49. And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth." Thinking Point: Learn to be private with your strategy. Make your weapon secretive to the enemy. This week shall be a wonderful week for us, victories in all our endeavours in Jesus Mighty name, Amen. The mystery of God about every battle is the ability to face each battle with a different str...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Is The Battle Of The Lord. (15) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 22, John 8: 31 - 47.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:47. "47. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will give you into our hands. Thinking Point: Put God first in that battle, if it is His battle He will never lose it. Every battle we encounter when God is leading us is the Lord's battle. When we abide in God's instructions whatever comes our way is the Lord's business not ours. Let me start this morning from Exodus 14. It was the Lord that led the Israelites out of Egypt not Moses. Let's hear what Moses has to say in "Exodus 14:13-14. "13. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Don't Be Silent, Speak Up (14) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 20 - 21, John 8: 12 - 30.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:45-47. "45. Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46. This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. 47. And all this assembly shall know that the LORD saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD'S, and he will ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Don't Be Frightened (13) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 18 - 19, John 7 : 25 - 8: 1 - 11.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:42-43. "42. And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 43. And the Philistine said unto David, Am I a dog, that thou comest to me with staves? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods." Thinking Point: What you're afraid of is also afraid of you, don't be frightened. I welcome each and everyone today, may the Lord give us the boldness and courage to face every power and principality rising against us in Jesus name, Amen. Intimidating is a strategy by the devil to imbibe fear in us. The devil is also afraid of us because he knows what we can do...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Attack The Situation (12) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 15 - 17, John 7 : 1 - 24.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:40-41. "40. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: AND HE DREW NEAR TO THE PHILISTINE. 41. And the Philistine came on and drew near unto David; and the man that bare the shield went before him." Thinking Point: The pathway to victory is to start the attack. Making the move unveils the options before you. (1) Many times we believers wait for God to start before we follow. We wait for our helpers before we start making the move. We keep looking at the problem before us without making a move to eradicate ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Proving Tools (11) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 12 - 14, John 6 : 60 - 71.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:38-39. "38. And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. 39. And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him. 40. And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine." Thinking Point: Concentrate on what you are good at doing, not what someone else is good at. Every man is...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Banking On Past Testimony (10) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 10 - 11, John 6 : 25 - 59.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:37. "37. David said moreover, The LORD that delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said unto David, Go, and the LORD be with thee. Thinking Point: Your past testimony should motivate you against the present challenges. We, at Mobile Daily Devotional, a product of, Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry, do appreciate your encouragement by following our teachings, we return all the Glory to God, the giver of revelation and insight into His word. Thank you for encouragement, the Lord bless you richly. Today, we shall be focusing on encouraging ourselves through our past ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Present Your CV (9) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 9, John 6 : 1 - 24.  MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:33-37. "33. And Saul said to David, Thou art not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him: for thou art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 34. And David said unto Saul, Thy servant kept his father's sheep, and there came a lion, and a bear, and took a lamb out of the flock: 35. And I went out after him, and smote him, and delivered it out of his mouth: and when he arose against me, I caught him by his beard, and smote him, and slew him. 36. Thy servant slew both the lion and the bear: and this uncircumcised Philistine shall be as one of them, seeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 37. David said moreover, The LORD that delivere...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Speak Up For Yourself (8) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 7 - 8, John 5 : 31 - 47. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:32. "32. And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. Thinking Point: It is wisdom to know when to speak of your ability and when to be humble. From our lesson yesterday, we learnt how David spoke up to challenge Goliath and he was brought before King Saul. There are times we will need to remain silent and humble in the presence of the king and there are times when we will need to speak up about our ability. Although it is good to be humble but not always should we remain humble when the king doesn't know what we can do. Let's check these two scenarios. When Joseph was brought b...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: A Little More Persistent (7) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 4 - 6, John 5 : 1 - 30. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:29-30. "29. And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?" "30. And he turned from him toward another, and spake after the same manner: and the people answered him again after the former manner." "31. And when the words were heard which David spake, they rehearsed them before Saul: and he sent for him." Thinking Point: Giving up so soon takes one back to zero level. The King is waiting for you, do not give up. Most times when the degree for discouragement is high it's a sign of being close to one's manifestation. When the opposition seems to be gaining ground, when their words seem to be true and yours seem to b...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Discouragers interference (6) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 2 - 3, John 4 : 27 - 54. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:28. "28. And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle." Thinking Point: Everything good has enmity or an opposition. It may look like caring but beware. Have you ever made a strong decision and people try to talk you out of it? Have you made up your mind to speak up for God and relatives, family members and close friends tried discouraging you from doing it? Yes, it's ...

TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Speak For God (5) One Year Bible Reading:  1 King 1, John 4 : 1 - 26. MEMORY VERSE: Matthew 11:12. "12. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." BIBLE READING: 1 Samuel 17:26. "26. And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?" Thinking Point: Wherever you are, you are there to defend and speak for God in your little way. Yesterday, we said wherever we are, there's a problem or situation we are met to solve which determines how fast we change our location for the next assignment. Today, I want to let us know that we are to defend God with our actions, behaviour and resources. Anywhere we are that we can't stand or speak for God, t...
