Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike

Wisdom has some classic wise sayings for you and I this morning. Let me highlighta few; "Choose a good reputation over great riches; being held in high esteem is better than silver or gold." Don't compromise your character for riches, remember who you are. You are a child of a king. "The lazy person claims, "There is a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!"" So, in life, there are th...

The words of Proverbs are so profound there are too many to highlight today. "Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls. Those led astray by drink cannot be wise." Why? They lack judgement. There is nothing wrong with drinking wine or alcohol, it's where being intoxicated with them leads that wisdom has something against. "If you love sleep, you will end up in poverty. Keep your eyes open, an...

Wisdom strikes again it says; "loyalty makes a person attractive", not makeup, not a smile, no, loyalty makes you attractive. As a businessman or woman, loyalty makes you attractive to do business with. In a relationship, loyalty is what makes you attractive.

The words of Proverbs are so precious this morning they will save you a lot of trouble; "a lazy person is as bad as someone who destroys things." You choose laziness, the Bible is simply saying you will have nothing. "The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences." The Bible actually says the tongue can set your own life on fire if left untamed, the choice i...

Wisdom says this morning; "a gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare." You and your spouse are forever at it using harsh words on one another, try the words of wisdom this morning and thank me later. Another one; 'plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success." This is probably why someone reading this has been failing, surround yourself with good advisers...

The words of wisdom as so profound this morning; good, sound advise that will keep you on top. Let's share a few; "Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest". The goal here is a large harvest. Do you want a large harvest? You need a strong oxen. A strong oxen might simply be a talent, a skill, an exam you need to take, etc. Next; "Work brings profit, but mere...

The words of wisdom are so precious this morning, allow me emphasize three of them. "Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave." Hmmmm, I wish they told me this early. "Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper", simply put, it pays to work hard. Last one; "wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappear; wealth from hard work grows over time."...

Proverbs has so many advises for us in today's devotional I don't even know where to start. Listen, integrity counts for something. Your character will speak for you. My advise is that it is literally, CAPITAL. It will speak for you someday.

Today, we will hear of the contrast between folly and wisdom, and the question essentially is for each of us to think and answer, who we have been listening to? They both cry out for attention. Wisdom says, "I live together with good judgement. I know where to discover knowledge and discernment". In other words, when and where you find me, you will also find; good judgement, knowledge and discernm...

Today's Proverbs have some good advise on how to handle temperature, STAYAWAY, RUN, etc. It's that simple, don't even entertain it.

I meet people sometimes and they are just not happy at the direction their life is going; marriage, academic results, relationships, promotion at work, etc. They are surprised that despite their best intentions, they seem unlucky to be able to get their desired outcomes. Proverbs 4:20 gives us the wisdom to answer, the direction of the course of your life is heavily impacted or determined by what...

The book of Proverbs is an expression the practical application of some of the wisdom God gave to king Solomon. As Solomon experienced things and thought through life, this wisdom gave him clarity as he penned down these Proverbs. Essentially, the book of Proverbs will reveal God's wisdom to us, not the wisdom of man, not even the wisdom of the devil, no, the wisdom of God. As we read through, mak...

Today, we will be concluding the final chapters of the book of Psalms and it is only fitting that everything, the last 5 chapters, begins and ends with the same statement; "praise the Lord". My prayer for you today is that God's praise will never cease from your lips, you will always have a reason to Praise the Lord.

Never forget, the Lord is close to all who call on his name. He jealously guards and guides those all who put their trust in him.

Today's Psalms teaches us to praise the Lord at all times, to give thanks to the Lord because he is good and his mercies, his love endures forever.

Unless the Lord helps us, life can be such a drag. Today's reading says, count on the Lord's help. Factor in Grace as you make your way through life's journey.

What brings you into the presence of God? Apart from the fact that unlike the Old testament, we do not have to be in a particular building to feel we are in the presence of God, the reasons why we come might be similar to theirs; for protection, to worship, to find help in the face of troubles, worries and challenges, to seek a powerful experience, etc. What brings you into the presence of God? Wh...

The very essence of God's word is truth; in other words, it cannot fail. It is sure, it is trustworthy. It is folly to stand against the truth, you will lose in the end. My advise today, hold on to the truth of God's word now and always.

Our reading today is divided into two sections; Psalms 117 and 118, and then Psalms 119. The first part say, give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. I am sure you have heard that before, that God is good, of course he is! But God is good not because he does good things, no, he is good because he is God. It is in his nature. Also, are you not glad that God's FAIT...

Our focus this morning is to simply, Praise the Lord and to give Him all the glory. The Psalmist puts it this way, "not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name goes all the glory for your unfailing love and faithfulness" - Psalms 115:1. Spend some time thinking today about how good God has been to you and yours, and then, Praise the LORD.

From declaring the many wonderful things God does in Psalms 107 to announcing the reign of the messiah in Psalms 110 we ask ourselves this morning, has God done any wonderful thing for you? Think about them this morning and you'd realise they are many. For one, he gave you and I the most beautiful, the most precious gift in the world, a relationship with him through his son Jesus. Halleluyah!

Israel's remarkable story is retold again in these two chapters of Psalms and you can't but stare in disbelief at how it ended for them. As they came out of Egypt scripture says; "yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf: "Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets."" Psalms 105: 14-15. The nation itself was God's chosen people, they were his prophets...

Let all that I am praise God. All that I am means, all that I am; the good and the bad, the pleasant and not so pleasant, in times despair or happiness, sorrow or joy, literally, let my whole being praise the Lord. I just want you to know that praising God is not just for when it feels alright or cool, no, the Lord will have me tell you that you should praise him even when you feel abandoned, betr...

Enter his gates with Thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name - Psalms 100:4. Do you have anything to be thankful to God for? I have droves, but if you are not sure, just know that the fact you can read what I have written down and understand, is one reason to be thankful this morning; you can see, you are in your right mind...Father, I say thank you.

Those who dwell in or live in the shelter, in the secret place of the most high will find rest in the shadow of the almighty. They will have God near them always, nothing touches them without God's consent. Listen this morning, there is a blessing reserved for those who have found the secret of staying in the presence of God. Jesus puts it this way; "and your Father who dwells in the secret place...
