Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 29, Day 7: Saturday, 22nd July 2023. TOPIC : SENSITIVITY IN FAMINE 7: Don’t Avenge Or Doing Evil

“9. And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’S anointed, and be guiltless?

10. David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

11. The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD’S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go.”

As we round up our study for this week on the topic, “Sensitivity In Famine” we shall be focusing on, “Don’t take revenge nor Do Evil” while in famine. Famine time is a period to spontaneous anger, quarrel and uncontrollable actions. When you’ll feel cheated or being treated unduly but nevertheless, you need to put yourself under control. You need to know it’s a test, trial and temptation to elongate your famine experience. Responding to those who offended you or retaliating may take you backward in that famine.

David was experiencing the worst famine of his time. He was once the most important person to the king but now, the most unwanted by the same King. The king left his throne to pursue David to the cage. A time present itself for David to take the life of King Saul but David seek not to take revenge or do Him evil. He made sure not to laid his hand on him. No matter how hard the famine may be, don’t take revenge or do evil. As a matter of fact, that is the season to show love and care for others and not the other way round. Make it a season of forgiveness and reconciliation, and God will make a way out for you in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

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.
