Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 34, Day 2 Monday, 19th August 2024. TOPIC: WHAT DISCIPLINE DOES; It Conquers Distraction (2)


TOPIC: WHAT DISCIPLINE DOES; It Conquers Distraction (2) 

BIBLE READING: 
Philippians 3:13-14.
"13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,"
"14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Thinking Point:
The strategy the enemy uses is to distract us from God's purpose for our lives, but through Discipline, we can overcome his devices.

As we step out this new week, we are endowed with all spiritual benefits to prosper in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Distraction, is another instrument in the hands of the devil to bring failure of purpose in one's life. Attending to meaningless goals, desires or pleasures that has nothing to do with what God has ordained us for are distraction from God and our life purpose. John the Baptist was carried away by interfering with Herod marrying his brother's wife which has nothing to do with his ministry and ended up in prison and was beheaded. When the devil presents us with an assignment that has nothing to do with what God has assigned us, we need to be disciplined to say "No" to him and "Yes" to God.

With discipline we can remain focused and determine to remain on purpose. Apostle Paul had reasons to relax, having achieved more than his predecessors, he accomplished more in winning the gentiles to Christ but he stayed disciplined to remain focused on doing more. He wasn't distracted by his past successes, he kept pursuing. Without discipline, distraction is inevitable. We need discipline to maintain that home, love alone can't maintain it but discipline. We need discipline to maintain that ministry, that purpose destined for us so we won't be distracted by fame, money and pride. Without discipline all of one's accomplishments can be scattered in a short while. Apostle Paul said,
"14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."

Identify those distracting tools working against the high calling prize set ahead of you and be disciplined to set them aside. When we identify our purpose in life we should be able to identify what needs to go and what needs to stay, by so doing, we will be able to conquer distractions by being disciplined.

Good Day and God Bless you.

TOPIC: UNREQUESTED FAVOUR: By Showing Hospitality (6)  MEMORY VERSE:  Jeremiah 29:11. "11. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." BIBLE READING:  2 Kings 4:13-17. "13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people." "14. And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old." "15. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door." "16. And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid." "17. And the woman conceived, and bare a son at t...

Mobile Daily Devotional with Oluboye Emmanuel Week 16, Day 3, Tuesday, 15th April 2025 TOPIC: CAUSES OF DELAY: Lack Of Good Leadership or Mentorship (3)

Image
TOPIC: CAUSES OF DELAY: Lack Of Good Leadership or Mentorship (3) One Year Bible Reading:  Judges 19 - 21, Luke 14: 25 - 15: 1 - 10. MEMORY VERSE:  Deuteronomy 1:6. "6. The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:" BIBLE READING:  Exodus 33:11. "11. And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle." Thinking Point: The best way to enjoy speed in life is to be led by those who had plight that road and succeeded before. We started by saying disobedience to God's instructions leads to delay, and yesterday we were made to know that lack of direction can also be the reason for delay. Today, lack of good leadership or mentorship leads to delay in one's life. Imagine following someone who doesn't have any record of success in life and who never sees reas...
