Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel
Week 47, Day 2:
Monday, 20th November, 2023.
TOPIC: 1st Samuel 1 Study: Don’t Be Partial (2)
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 6:10.
“10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 1:4-5.
“4. And when the time was that Elkanah offered, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and her daughters, portions:
5. But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; for he loved Hannah: but the LORD had shut up her womb.”
Welcome to the first working day of the week, our going and coming shall be blessed this week in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
The second point to note from our Bible Reading is the attitude of Elkanah, He wasn’t a partial Husband to his wives, both were given portions according to their numbers. He was conscious to give them their portion as wives and children. He never favoured any of his wive than the other. How many of us can walk this same path without showing favourism? May be to give Peninnah much and little to Hannah or vice verser, but He chose not to do so. Many of us, especially parents, choose one child above the other as favorite. In our places of work, partiality by tribe, gender, nepotism, or by religion, this is not meant to be seen amongst belivers.
Apostle Paul said to Timothy, in 1 Timothy 5:21,
“I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.”
Elkanah showed no partiality, though he loved Hannah, he still loved Peninnah and showed them love always. Are you not partial in your dealings? If that same partiality is being shown towards you by being denied a privilege, will you be comfortable with it? Doing nothing by partiality.
Good Day and God bless you.
