Mobile Daily Devotional with Oluboye Emmanuel Week 9, Day 3, Tuesday, 25th February, 2025 TOPIC: TYPES OF GARMENT: Comfort Zone Garments (3)


TOPIC: TYPES OF GARMENT: Comfort Zone Garments (3) 

ONE YEAR BIBLE READING: 
Leviticus 26 - 27, Mark 7:1-23  

MEMORY VERSE: 
Isaiah 61:3. 
"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified."

BIBLE READING: 
Genesis 37:23.
"23. And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;"

Genesis 39:12.
"12. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out."

Thinking Point:
I call this arrival mentality garment. This can stop one from achieving more in life if God does not intervene.

Many believe they have arrived and their present position is their highest peak in life. They see where they are as their comfort Zion. No desire for a higher or better place in life. They settled for what they have at hand rather than to go for a better place. This is a comfort zone garment. Being too content with where you are is not the plan of God for His children. Some believe they can't go beyond a self contained apartment or one bedroom flat because they can't raise the rent. No thought of buying land or building houses ever crosses their mind, arrival mentality is a garment we put on ourselves.

Joseph operated at this level when he had coats of many colours. He has the mentality of arrival despite God showing him where he is taking him to. He was the favorite of Jacob and enjoyed even the right first born don't enjoy. In Potiphar's house, the same mentality runs in him, “I'm in charge”, “am rightly placed”, until God removes that garment again from him through Potiphar's wife. When we glory in the level we are, we resist moving forward. Not that we can't do better than we are doing but we are afraid of aiming higher so we choose to remain where we are. It's time to overcome the “comfort zone” garment. When we believe we are at our peak in life, then we begin to descend the ladder of greatness. It's time to begin to aim higher, dream bigger, and act accordingly to that level we desire.

Father, help me do away with the garment of comfort zone in my life. I refuse to remain at this level, I begin to go higher and grow higher from today on, in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.

Good morning, 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.

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)

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...
