Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 14, Day 7: Saturday, 8th April, 2023. TOPIC: Price For Peace 7: Be Concerned About Your Peace Troubler

“12. And they took Lot, Abram’s brother’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.

13. And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were confederate with Abram.

14. And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.

Today, as we conclude on our teaching, “Price For Peace”, the final price to pay for Peace is to be concerned about your Peace Troubler, even after they left you. Your peace troubler is not separated from you so you can forget them, but for you to enjoy your peace. To be able to have time for what God as assigned you to do, not the other way round. That God separated you from your peace troubler doesn’t make them your enemies, No, they are still under your care but you just have to create a space between you and them.

Lot was separated from Abraham to a far country but he wasn’t separated from his heart of care. When Lot was captured in the land of Sodom and taken as captive, Abraham didn’t sit back to watch or laughed at him.

Abraham rose to rescue Lot from the kings who held him captive and brought his family back home. He wasn’t mocking him neither was he laughing at him, he went with over three hundred soldiers in his home to rescue him. You’re not to mock your peace troubler because of their predicament. You’re to show them that God has placed you above them and extending the hand of love when necessary. You can’t back out from helping them. Feel concern for your peace troubler, don’t abandon them when they need your assistance especially when they’ve come to realize (because God will always make them know) you are above them. 

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.
