Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel
Week 47, Day 1:
Sunday, 19th November, 2023.
TOPIC: 1st Samuel 1 Study: Faithfulness Not Immunity to Challenges (1)
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 1:1-3.
“1. Now there was a certain man of Ramathaimzophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:
2. And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah: and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.
3. And this man went up out of his city yearly to worship and to sacrifice unto the LORD of hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, the priests of the LORD, were there.”
Good morning Beloved of God, I welcome you to this new week, may our strength be renew in Jesus mighty Name, Amen. This week, we will be studying 1st Samuel Chapter One, to see what God will be saying to us. Our first Sub Topic says, “Faithfulness Not Immunity to Challenges”.
From our reading, the Man, Elkanah was a faithful man, who worshiped and served God with his family. We are made to know, they do worshipped the Lord at Shiloh yearly not naming their weekly and monthly worship in their home. With all these, one of his wives, Hannah was still barren after many years of marriage. Serving God is not proof that we will not go through challenges. Paying our tithes, rendering kingdom services and blessing others isn’t immune to difficulties. When we’re faced with opposition, it is not the time to start complaining of our services but a time to keep serving and remain focused on God. Elkanah never stops serving God yearly with his family despite the long distance and Hannah’s delay in child bearing. Don’t let those challenges reduce your commitment to God, keep doing your best regardless of the challenges.
Good Day and God bless you.
