Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 4, Day 2: Monday, 23rd January, 2023 TOPIC: LEARNING FROM KING DAVID 2: Control Your Emotion

“3. So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.

4. Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5. And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

6. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: But David Encouraged Himself In The Lord His God.

David and his men, were warriors but couldn’t control their emotions when they came back to their camp. His men remembered their losses and intended to stone David because they were controlled by emotions. They all cried including David for their losses and none could comfort the other, including Abiathar, the priest.

This year, there shall be no losses around us in Jesus Mighty Name, no reasons to be stranded in any areas of life this year. Situations may arise in life that one need to show some emotions, no matter the situation we need to be in control of it. To be in control means to be Concerned about the situation and to be controlled by emotions means to be Worried. When you are concerned about situation you think of the way out but when you are worried you just feel that’s the end and you give up. To be concerned bring idea and solution to the present situation. We need to be in control of every situation this year and not the other way round. Until David was concerned about the situation there wasn’t solution. Be in control and be concerned about the situations and your emotions will be defeated. Control your emotions this year.

God Morning 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.
