Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry Mobile Daily Devotional Week 49, Day 5, Thursday, 4th December, 2025 TOPIC: APPRECIATION DAY: Joy In Persecution (5)


TOPIC: APPRECIATION DAY: Joy In Persecution (5)

One Year Bible Reading:
Daniel 3 - 4
1 John 5

MEMORY VERSE: 
Psalms 136:1-2.
"1. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2. O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever."

BIBLE READING:
James 1:2-3.
"2. My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3. Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience."

Thinking Point:
Persecution as Christians should bring us Joy for we are known for Christ.

Our joy will never be diluted or tampered with in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Today, in the world, it's not news that Christians are being persecuted for the sake of Christ. Segregation in work places, environment and being denied rightful position. Jesus made it known while on earth that persecution will come our way according to John 15:20
"Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also."

Jesus went on to say in John 16:33,
"33. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

In order words, we should cheer up when going through those persecutions. Apostle James said, we should count it all Joy when faced with opposition for the Gospel. When you are antagonised for what you believe in, we should be joyful. We are not to start complaining or grumbling against God for it is His will. 
After the disciples faced persecution from the authorities in Acts 4:23-24, the scriptures said,
"23. And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. 24. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:"

They began to praise God and prayed. They were joyful that they were persecuted for Christ sake. Be joyful for what you are passing through in the name of Christ. In your place of worship, places of work and environment, as long as it's for Christ sake.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Why Are You Afraid?

" 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)

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...
