Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 27, Day 3: Tuesday, 4th July 2023. Topic: RISK TAKERS 3.To Be Good, Is A Risk.

“33. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, 

34. And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

Beloved, we’re all called to take risk not by ranks, anointing or position but as believers. We are risk takers anywhere we are, this is where our identity is revealed as true believers. That was the case of the good Samaritan in the parable of Jesus Christ. 

A man was robbed, left wounded according to Jesus’ parable. He was left to die on the road and needed an urgent help from someone. Jesus said a priest and a levite saw him and passed by the other side without taking the risk to save him. But a Samaritan, (then Samaritans are considered to be an unbeliever), came to the point, stoop low, attended to the man, carried him on his horse and took him to a nearby inn (hospital) for treatment. 

What a risk on his own life. I know as Nigerians many thoughts are running through our mind, yes, the same thoughts went through his mind but he took the risk to save a life. When your risk doesn’t attract mockery or fear then it’s a normal step. Your risk should worth people condemning you if possible. Sometimes your risk may be to save a single soul and not multitude. Can you risk your life for one?

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.
