*ESOCS DAILY DEVOTION*
*SUNDAY 21ST JUNE 2026*
*TOPIC: CELEBRATE WHAT YOU HAVE*
*TEXT: LUKE 8:26-39*
*MEMORY VERSE*
“Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.” Luke 8:37
What you don’t appreciate, you can’t celebrate. Many a times we tend to look down on the special people God has brought into our lives, either as couple, children, parents, friends, relatives, colleagues, bosses, staff, customers, Pastors and church members. We rarely see anything good in them or in what they do. Hence, we desperately commit to see them leave.
Unfortunately, most times their departure will not even do you any good or add value to your own life. Jesus Christ arrived the city of Gadarenes, instantly He faced a man tormented by an evil spirit, which has battered and shattered the man, with everyone being helpless in his situation. Jesus Christ, in His compassionate nature, healed him and the people of the city out of fear and worry staged a protest that Jesus should leave their land, which He eventually did.
But, the interesting part of it is what Luke 8:40 says: “And it came to pass, that, when Jesus Christ was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were waiting for him.” Beloved, that husband of yours you are treating badly, there are several women out there waiting for you to send him out. That wife you have failed to love, there are so many men out there admiring her. The devoted employee you do not seem to appreciate his/her efforts, you will soon push him/her to a firm that pays higher. That committed follower you are chasing away may soon be lost to a better place.
It is important we value and celebrate who and what we have before we lose them to outsiders.
*REFLECTIONS*
❖ Learn to appreciate and celebrate people always.
*PRAYER*
❖ Father, thank you for sending people to me.
❖ Help me to appreciate them so that I don’t lose them, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
*FURTHER READING*
❖ Exodus 14:5-20; 2Kings 6:24-7:2; John 7:37-end; Revelation 13:11-end
