Oluboye Emmanuel Ministry Mobile Daily Devotional Week 31, Day 5, Thursday, 31st July, 2025 TOPIC: CROSSING TO THE OTHER SIDE: Stormy Season (5)


TOPIC: CROSSING TO THE OTHER SIDE: Stormy Season (5)

One Year Bible Reading: 
Psalms 52 - 55, Romans 5: 12 - 21

MEMORY VERSE:
Deuteronomy 2:2-3
"2. “Then at last the lord said to me, 3. ‘You have been wandering around in this hill country long enough; turn to the north."

BIBLE READING:
Luke 8:23.
"23. ..., and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

Thinking Point:
Storm is either a distractor or a motivator, it depends on how you choose to see it.

It's the end of July, the seventh month, all Glory be to the most faithful and righteous God who kept us till date, may His name be praised forever more, Amen.

Crossing over in Life is what makes life better and brings progress. When we are not crossing over we will remain stagnant for life, revolving at a particular position and will end up envying every progress in others. Everyone who takes a bold step to crossover always gets to the top and becomes an achiever in life. But crossing over isn't an easy step or tea and bread moment but a time to depart who you are to a new person. It involves being prepared for what's ahead. Determination to cross over not just to say it. While crossing over there are many storms to face, many opposition and distraction but they aren't our enemy, they are a test to know how desperate we are to cross over. They are motivators to test our determination if we will turn back or forge ahead. What you call it is what it becomes, a distraction to turn back or a motivation to keep moving.

While the move was on with Jesus and His disciples, the storm rose while in the boat and Jesus was taken a nap, resting for what precisely? For the storm ahead, regaining strength to face the next level. The reason for resting is to prepare for the stormy days, coming out with new ideas as we discussed yesterday. So the disciples saw the storm as a distraction, they were perplexed, fearful, jittery and confused not knowing what next. This is one of the hardest moments in crossing over. When all you see is rejection, being alone, no helper, faced with a situation unplanned for. Beloved, it's not a time to be discouraged but a time to be motivated. It's a season of tests, don't turn back. Don't be like the disciple who doesn't know what to do, relax and find a way out. Who do you think could be of help? First of all is God, turn to Him to light your path, to show you where to turn and how to be motivated with the present situation. Then, as a driver, moving on a road filled with potholes, do you turn back or you keep moving gently? Do you park the car and wait till the government renovates the road? No you keep moving, that's how to handle the stormy time, keep moving but slowly and gently you will overcome, if you will not turn back you will get through the storm. Stormy time is a motivation time.

Good morning, and God bless you.

Why Are You Afraid?

Image
" 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...

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...
