Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 27, Day 1: Sunday, 2nd July 2023. Topic: RISK TAKERS 1.The Widow of Zarephath

“10. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink.

11. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand.

15. And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah: and she, and he, and her house, did eat many days.”

We shall be studying some of our “Heros and Heroines” from the scriptures as example of risk takers. Today, we shall be seeing the Widow of Zarephath, who had little left for her survival but took the risk to give to God’s servant, Prophet Elijah. The risk was initiated by God, as a proof that every risk was from God. God directed Elijah to the widow to demand this risk from her. God knew what she has left before sending Elijah but because He was willing to bless and sustain her He tempted her with this risk. We saw how the woman passed the test by taking the risk to prepare the last meal for Elijah and she and her household did ate many days later.

Many atimes we avoid taking risk because of what we have left, God doesn’t see it that way. He intentionally directed that risk to you for a Blessing, for Lifting and Promotion. Your risk will be different from others risk. We need to be sensitive not to miss our ordained risk. Are you willing to take that risk Jesus is directing towards you? Risk is always demanding. Be ready to take the 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.
