Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 27, Day 6: Friday, 7th July 2023. Topic: RISK TAKERS 6. Obedience; Friuthful Risk

“1. And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am. 

2. And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.

3. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.

The hardest risk to take is the risk that comes as an instruction from God and through His servants. Risk that looks so foolish and selfish. Imagine an old man with only a son and God said give me your son as a sacrifice. Am hungry for the sacrifice of your child, I feel like taking him back to myself. The Old man foolishly took his son, without the knowledge of his mother, went to the mountain to give him to God, that is risk in obedience.

2 kings 4: 1- 7, A widow went to a man of God for the debt of her late husband. The lender came for his money and God’s servant said, “Go and borrow again” how do you respond to that? Risky Obedience

2 kings 5: 8 -14, Naaman, a warrior with leprosy, needed healing, was before Elisha for cleansing and was told to go to a small (unrecognized) and dirty river to wash himself up, Risky Obedience.

This is what God wants from us, not to question His instructions, are we willing to go this far with our risk.

Good Day and God Bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
