Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 9, Day 4: Wednesday, 21st February, 2024 TOPIC: CRITERIA FOR HIS CALLING: By Diligence (18)

“70. He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

71. From following the ewes great with young he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

72. So he fed them according to the integrity of his heart; and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

May the angel of the Lord lead and guide our paths today, direct us alright to our destined place in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

As we proceeds today, another criteria that God looks out for before calling His worker is Diligence, how diligent we are with our endeavours. God will never call the lazy because His call to duty is not meant for lazy ones. Most great men today are called while diligently doing their personal works. Being active in what you do is another criteria for God’s call. When Elisha was called, he was a mechanize farmer and wealthy. He was at his duty post when God sent Elijah to anoint him as his own replacement.

David was in the bush shepherding his father’s sheep when God located him as the next King of Israel. God said, 

“19.Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.

20. I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

Psalms 89:19-20.

God found David in the bush where he was diligently doing his best for his father’s flock. Your diligence, hard work and zeal is another criteria for God’s calling, either to the altar or outside the altar. Jesus called most of His disciples while some were fishermen and tax collection, and so on. Being diligent is another thing God looks for before He calls. 

Good Day and God bless you.
