Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 51, Day 3: Tuesday, 20th December, 2022. TOPIC: HOW DO YOU TREAT YOURSELF? 3:

“17. And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.

18. Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him.”

It’s unfortunate that many develop others, contribute in other’s growth but never made any attempt to develop themself. Some believe they are too old to learn new things, acquire new knowledge or change their trade, it’s time to start developing yourself. It’s time to stretch yourself beyond your present ability. Start up and increase your capability. Learn things about your area of specification and more.

David was a Shepherd boy in the bush, he chose to develop himself in other areas. Right in the bush he learnt playing harps, (instrument), to use sling, boldness in facing challenges and increased in wisdom, these qualities made Him a better person to stand before King Saul, to defeat Goliath and to reign over Israel. Your new found skills is what will present you before the great not just that usual talent. What people see in you that’s different is what will make them look for you. May be your present situation look like that of David who was kept in the bush while others enjoyed at home, it’s an avenue to increase yourself not a ‘sorry/pity case’. Develop yourself with everything around you in that bush, in that condition and you will be preferred to others. You need to increase your intake so your output can be increased. Look around yourself, what do you need to develop, your marriage, your carrier, your ministry, your spiritual life, your academics or your life generally? Thank God it’s the end of the year, list out areas you need to work on yourself, stretch yourself beyond your limit, and see how far you will expand this coming year. Stop seeing reasons why it’s not possible, just determine to increase your capability and you will find yourself flying high, start developing yourself.

Good Morning and God Bless you.
