Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel
Week 47, Day 4:
Wednesday, 22nd November, 2023.
TOPIC: 1st Samuel 1 Study: Encourager or Discourager? (4)
MEMORY VERSE:
Hebrews 6:10.
“10. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 1:8.
“8. Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? am not I better to thee than ten sons?”
We thank God for giving us the breath and light of a new day again, To Him always be the glory forevermore, Amen.
Today’s devotional is a litmus test question to every reader, Are you an Encourager or a Discourager? Do people like to talk to you when faced with challenges? Does your words bring healing or wounds? Does your spouse prefer speaking to outsider than speaking to you? Does your Boss seeks information from your subordinate instead of you his direct assistance? Your words need to be checked if it brings injury or peace of mind.
Elkanah was the only and best encourager that Hannah could have gotten and He was always available to encourage her, despite the second wife’s mockery. She had no child to play with or send on an errand, but Elkanah was available. When you speak, does it bring peace of mind? Do people want to listen to you speak or they avoid your talks? Are you like Job’s friend or Barnabas? Change your words. Try to be a shoulder one can lean on in times of challenges. Be that Elkanah and not Peninnah everywhere you find yourself.
Good Day and God bless you.
