Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry Mobile Daily Devotional Week 19, Day 5, Thursday, 8th May 2025 TOPIC: LESSONS FROM SAUL AND DAVID: Speak For God (5)


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, that means we are not representing Christ enough. When you are in a location and nobody sees Christ in you or calls you names for the sack of Christ, you need to check yourself up.

David was a seventy years old boy who spoke out against Goliath, a warrior from his youth. David couldn't hide his love and reference for God. He wasn't carried away because of the gift promised by the King, No, he was speaking up for God. He asked, "for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?"

He couldn't bear the insult of Goliath on God. He couldn't keep his mouth shut. Do you shut your mouth when God is defied? Do you resist any attempt to disregard God where you are? 

The three Hebrew boys did the same. They told the king,
"16. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter."
"17. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king."
"18. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up." Daniel 3:16-18.

Do we have this courage to speak up for God? When you speak up for Him, He steps in to defend you. When you announce Him to the world He backs you up. It's time to speak up our faith in the face of challenges and opposition. If we are truly the sons and daughters of God, we should reflect it by speaking up for Him in any circumstances. Do we defend God or excuse ourselves when God is insulted?

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...
