Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry Mobile Daily Devotional Week 36, Day 1, Sunday, 31st August, 2025 TOPIC: Psalms 23. The Shepherd (1)


TOPIC: Psalms 23. The Shepherd (1)

One Year Bible Reading:
Proverbs 5 - 7
1 Corinthians 15: 1 - 34.

MEMORY VERSE:
Psalms 23:1.
"1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

BIBLE READING:
John 10:14
"14. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine."

Thinking Point:
The shepherd is only responsible for the sheep, not the goat.

Happy new week and Happy last day of the month of August, all of our blessings will be delivered before the month runs out in Jesus name, Amen.

This week our focus is shifting to the shepherd and the sheep. Yes, the connection between the two and how the flow should be. We are all students of the Bible and we are all familiar with Psalms 23. I know we can recite it from verse one to the last verse without a missing word. But God showed me something that I want to share with you this week. The first verse says,
"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Many of us read this verse often without asking ourselves the question, "am i a sheep of the shepherd? Am I qualified to be led by the shepherd? Am I being led by the shepherd? The verse should be Parashar this way,
"1. The LORD is my shepherd; - so therefore, because I am his sheep, - I shall not want." 

The writer of this Psalm was very sure of his stand with the shepherd before documenting this. David was a sheep who was available to be led by the shepherd. He wasn't a goat who led himself to wherever he wanted. A shepherd can only lead the sheep, not the goat. Many are living in poverty till date because they are not sheep to be led by the shepherd, they are goats who want things done in their own way. No matter the number of times we read Psalms 23, if we remain a goat, lack will be the order of the day. When we refuse to harken to God's leading want can't be erased. The Lord is our shepherd if only we are His sheep. 

This is my question for you today, are you a sheep or a goat? Hope your lack is not as a result of leading yourself instead of God leading you? 

Let's continue tomorrow as we see what proves if we are a goat or a sheep. Till then remember us in your prayers and keep sharing this devotion. 

Good morning, and God bless you.

Why Are You Afraid?

Image
" Why Are You Afraid?" Bible Passage: Mark 4:36-40. "36. they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed)." "37. But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water." "38. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” "39. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." "40. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Opposition After Victory  When Jesus was resting in the boat comfortably after His crusade with different signs and wonders. The devil saw that he lost many battles, many of his captives were delivered and set free from their shackles. He was enraged at Jesus. The reason for th...

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...
