Daily Devotional With Murphy Eyenike

The God we serve never breaks covenants, NEVER. That is why he called, THE FAITHFUL ONE. Those of us who serve God can be rest assured that he will keep his promises.

Today's Psalms are a prayer for Israel, an appeal for justice to be restored, a prayer that conspiracies against the nation would not stand. We know the outcome though, Istael and Judah would eventually be carried off to exile. The lessons for us here today is to pay attention and learn the lessons from the mistakes the nation made so we do not make the same in our lives turning to idols against G...

This morning, the message is simple, REMEMBER. Recall how the Lord was faithful to you yesterday and you will find it easy to be hopeful for tomorrow. The human heart is so fickle, it forgets so easily. As we read about how Israel forgot everything God did and they were many, make a commitment to remember. Your God is the same, yesterday, today and forever. Halleluyah!

Today, we focus on thanksgiving. Asaph said, "we thank you, O God! We give thanks because you are near." My inclination oftentimes is to give thanks for the seemingly unimportant things, but who give thanks just because God is near? I do, and you should too. Use today to thank God for the most basic things God has blessed you with, things you'd normally take for granted.

David said he had learned to praise God from his childhood. And now that he is older, he had learned to praise God in and through every situation. Praising God through a situation requires courage and faith, for one, you are praising a God you can't see and might not even have heard from. If there is one thing I am certain of though, God does not ignore those who praise him from a pure heart. PRAI...

Two vital lessons in today's devotional; once God speaks, but it resounds in creation again and again that power belongs to God. We declare this morning that power belongs to you O God, not the government, not our dependants, not even in ourselves, power belongs to you O God. Secondly, praising God is the right thing to do. When you are tempted to look at everything this life is throwing at you, d...

"When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the towering rock of safety" - Psalm 61:2. David perfectly understood a truth many Christians just don't get today, that God was his fortress, a rock he could stand on and a place of safety. Today, you see people looking for safety everywhere else; in men of God, in the anointing oil, on a mountain somewhere, in mantles. My charge is, return to your place...

Psalms 51, David returns with a cry of repentance, he had sinned and was very sorry. As David pours out his heart to the Lord, that tells us to also leave all our burdens with the Lord. What are those burdens you have refused to let go? Are you tired, burnout and in despair, it is time to unburden and leave it all at the Lord's feet. Jesus sys, Matthew 11:28; "come to me, all of you who are weary...

If there is a Psalm you want to read every day, it is Psalm 50. " Bring my faithful (saints) people to me - those who have made a covenant with me by giving sacrifices " says the Lord. They relied on the blood of animals, we trust in the perfect sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary's cross through which we are in a covenant relationship with God. It also says in verse 14 and 23; "make thankfulness your s...

Have you had times when you were so depressed and discouraged for a prolong period but for no real reason? Today's devotional Will speak to you; why are you cast down o my soul? Why are you discouraged? My prayer for you this morning is; the Lord will answer those questions you can't even bring yourself to asking anyone else, he will fill you with the joy and satisfaction only his presence can bri...

Today's devotional simply says, trust in the Lord and wait patiently. You see, apart from God nothing and no one else satisfies. Lord, let all who love your salvation, say continuously, let the Lord be magnified. Let all who trust you be able to sing in praises in Jesus name.

Psalms 36 is one of my most exciting Psalms, actually, the worshipper, Don Moen wrote a song from here; "Your steadfast love, extends to the heavens. Your faithfulness, it reaches to the cloud. Your righteousness, is like majestic mountain. And your wisdom's like the depth of the sea..." Don Moen was trying to help us see how great God's; love, faithfulness, righteousness and wisdom is. My prayer...

David wrote Psalms 32 at a very difficult season in his life. He had taken Uriah's wife and committed murder to cover it up. But just when he thought his sins were covered, God confronted him through the prophet Nathan, his sins eventually literally found him out. Instead of continuing to hid, David turned to the Lord. This is God's word for you today, don't hid from the Lord. Today's Psalm teache...

The LORD gives help for today and hope for tomorrow, in the face of opposition David said, "I will put my hope in God", isn't that wonderful. My advise to someone listening in this morning is, put your hope in God. In the face of this relentless taunt and torment, put your hope in God. He has never failed before and he is not going to now just because it's you.

Psalms 23 and 24 are probably the most popular Psalms for most people; "The Lord is my shepherd, I have all that I need" and "Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter". Both Psalms teach us profound lessons about our shepherd-sheep relationship with God on the one hand, and that with God on our side, every door shut against us will be opened. I will also like...

You probably never realized it but, I want you to be certain in your heart from today that God answers prayers. I know it takes faith to be sure that the prayers you are saying in your little corner reaches the throne room of the ancient of days, but the Lord will have me say to you, your prayers are answered, speedily Jehovah will intervene and cause you to rejoice over the enemy, in Jesus mighty...

In the seven Psalms we read today, David shows an understanding of God like no one ever did in the old testament. I am not sure how God felt hearing someone say, "I love you LORD", it was so out of place but that was David. When Job charged God with being unfair, going through similar issues, David say, while I accept the wicked seem to prosper....they don't understand it is because God is loving...

Can God defend us from lies, can we trust him to deliver us from trouble? Can we trust God to be fair and to bring justice when we are mistreated and on the wicked? The answers to all of these is obviously yes. From David's perspective in today's Psalms, God can deliver, he hears us when we call. As we read and listen to today's Psalms, please be rest assured that you are so precious to God and he...

We start a new book today, the book of Psalms. No other book is quoted from in the New testament as much as the book of Psalms is, it practically saw into what the life of the New testament believer would be like. The Psalms are written poetry style so you would enjoy them more and understand their meanings better by reciting and meditating on them. More than half of the Psalms were written by Dav...

As we conclude the book of Job, please take this with you, the things that are revealed are ours, but the secret things belong to God. There will always be answers we can't find and that is perfectly okay, just leave it to God, trust him to keep his word, he would surely not fail.

Two important lessons in today's devotional. One, creation itself is proof of how great God is. Just imagine the vastness and order of the universe and realise how great the person that set them in place must be. Secondly, even though we've had such advancements and discoveries in science, there are questions only God can answer. There are things you are currently passing through that it would see...

Elihu's argument was simple, you have no right to question God Job. In the end, your righteousness, goodness even, and sins only impact people like yourself, not God. To question God and try to make him seem unfair is to throw everything out of order. We might never be able to find the answers to the whys of why things happen, but we can be rest assured that God would stay sovereign and he continu...

Job's final words was to claim that God was at fault for what he was going through and all the abuses he had received from his friends. His claim was, based on what he had previously done, he did not deserve the things happening to him. Job was making the same mistakes he is scolding his friends for, however, in reverse. They were wrong to claim what was happening must be as a result of something...

After acknowledging the greatness of God, Job subtly begins to slide into pride and boasting claiming his personal righteousness and that everything he has accomplished, he did so because he was good. The problem here is that, pride always leads to a fall, it is a blindfold that will trip the best amongst us.

Why does it seem the wicked gets away with being wicked and prosper and live long? Why does it seem the good person tend to suffer and are cut short quickly? Why does it seem it's those who don't care about God that are popular? These were some of Job's charges and questions against God and I, like most people can relate. You probably think the world is not fair, right? One thing is clear to me th...
