Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 34, Day 1 Sunday, 18th August 2024. TOPIC: WHAT DISCIPLINE DOES; Conquers Laziness (1)


TOPIC: WHAT DISCIPLINE DOES; Conquers Laziness (1)

MEMORY VERSE: 
Hebrews 12:11.
"11. Now no chastening (Discipline) for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

BIBLE READING: 
Proverbs 24:33-34.
"33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:"
"34. So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want as an armed man."

Thinking Point:
Being laziness is different from being jobless. Laziness is as a result of lack of Discipline why joblessness may be a time of seeking for opportunity.

This new week shall answer to us, we shall not lack His help, grace and mercy in Jesus name, Amen.

Our focus this week is what I call, the effect of indiscipline. What happens when we are not disciplined; What's the product of indiscipline?  I pray as God will be speaking to us, we shall see where we are lagging behind and be able to make amendment in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen. What is discipline? 
I define it as "The ability to do what is right, timely, obediently, conveniently or inconveniently, under painful/longsuffering in order to achieve a progressive purpose in life. Discipline is not always easy, comfortable and without pain, it's the path that leads to the top in all facet of life. Any successful man and woman are people who went through discipline on a daily bases. Without discipline no great man or woman can be made.

The first point I will be discussing today is that Discipline conquers Laziness. The first enemy of a progressive person is laziness. The most easiest way to become a nonentity in life is by being lazy. A lazy person have reasons to remain idle, sleepy, jobless and best complainer. A lazy person plays when they ought to work and play when they ought to play, meaning no time for work. Sometimes they even prefer to do the hardest work in life but at the wrong time, when it's  too late. The easiest way to conquer laziness is by being disciplined, being up and doing. Getting ones hand dirty early in life. Fight against over sleeping, always find reason to be away from bed. The causes of poverty is traced to laziness, "he who does not work does not deserve to eat" and when they are not working they depend on stealing and on what others gets.

King Solomon said,
"33. Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:"
To overcome laziness stop the folding of hands. Let that hand be disciplined to do something before taking something to the mouth. When you make money, spending it still involves discipline. May I ask you this morning, how disciplined are you? Are we not lazy because we are not discipline?

Good Day and God Bless you.

" Why Are You Afraid?" Bible Passage: Mark 4:36-40. "36. they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed)." "37. But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water." "38. Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with his head on a cushion. The disciples woke him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?” "39. When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm." "40. Then he asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?” Opposition After Victory  When Jesus was resting in the boat comfortably after His crusade with different signs and wonders. The devil saw that he lost many battles, many of his captives were delivered and set free from their shackles. He was enraged at Jesus. The reason for th...

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?

HOW DO YOU TREAT YOUR PEOPLE?  Who are My people? My people start with my immediate Family, my extended family, my relatives, the folds of believers, my tribe, friends, colleagues and then my Nation. How far can you go to protect your people; Your family, relatives, home and your nation? How committed are you to your people? Hope you are not selfish about your people for greed of money, position, title and wealth? Using Esther As Our Case Study For This Article "6. For how can I endure to see MY PEOPLE AND MY FAMILY slaughtered and destroyed?” Who was Esther? She was a slave and an orphan brought up by Mordecai in Babylon. She was pretty, well trained and loyal to her uncle. Her humble and trained life helped her take over the throne of Vashti. Pride caused the dethroning of the Queen before Esther. Queen Esther was living in immunity as a Queen but used her position to help her people by saving them from nationwide destruction. Esther was a woman who made history til...
