DESPITE ALL, YOU STILL OWE HIM…
BASIC SCRIPTURES: LUKE 17:1-10; HEBREWS 11:6
Welcome to today’s devotional hour of mercy! Today’s scripture is humbling! Humbling because as we journey through life, lots of times we think we have done God a favour by being Born Again or serving Him instead of the devil.
There were seasons of my life when I thought that after praying for 21 days with fasting, God would appear and say with a loud voice: “Christopher, well done My son.” ODM Daily Online 7th April 2023 – DESPITE ALL, YOU STILL OWE HIM…
There were times I prayed for people I did not even know and I expected God to carry a chair, sit by my bedside and be grateful that I was praying for His sheep! There are seasons you give a good offering and you feel God owes you the biggest smile in the world. There are seasons you forgive those who hurt you and you feel God Himself owes you a resounding “Thank you.”

Truly, there are times I feel I have lived a holy life and pleased God, therefore He should be grateful and I must not be allowed to go through any further temptation or trial, but today’s first scripture Vs. 10 says: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: We have done that which was our duty to do.” Did you get that?
That means whatever you are doing for God is only your expected duty and GOD DOES NOT OWE YOU ANYTHING! Yes. He (Jehovah God) is all-wise and He know your pain and that serving Him has a reward, but do not translate any delayed reward into lack of appreciation or ungratefulness on His part!
Your holiness is for your own good and does not make God holier (See Job 35:7)! Each time you forgive, the peace is yours and your health is preserved. Each time you give to God, He is pleased, but first you are the debtor because He first gave you the gift of life (See Job 22:3).
So, refuse to accuse God; He owes you nothing than the gift of life! Millions are dead who were better prayer warriors, givers or holier than you! Your patience is for your good because much hurry provokes much worry; your prayers/daily Bible study is for your good because Wisdom separates failures from winners.
