Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel
Week 47, Day 3:
Tuesday, 21st November, 2023.
TOPIC: 1st Samuel 1 Study: Privilege Not A Right (3)
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 1:6-7.
“6. And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
7. And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the LORD, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.
A blessed day for you in Jesus name, Amen.
Third point to note from our study is, “Seeing situations As Privilege Not A Right”. Most benefits we received or earned are not our right, they are not product of knowledge, wisdom or education they are all privileges. Haven’t you seen people with better qualifications, beauty or wealth than you do but lack the privileges you are enjoying? Some times we conclude it’s their sin, may i ask you, is it your righteousness or faithfulness that earned you all you had? No they are privileges.
Peninnah had children while Hannah had none. She felt it’s her right to have them but not the right of Hannah to have any. She never saw it as a privilege but a right. The Bible said in Psalms 130:3
“3. If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?”
Mocking, Reproaching and abusing others about their predicament is a sin, so how do you want to proof that you’re righteous? All you have, earned/acquired are product of privilege not your right so, stop using it against others. Mind you, privileges can be withdrawn by the giver, be careful how you use your privileges. When you reproach others for what they lack, let it ring in your heart that, i have it isn’t my right either, it is a privilege and i have to be grateful for it.
Good Day and God bless you.
