Bible Reading: Job 31:1, Philippians 4:8
Memory Verse: It is useless to get up early and stay up late in order to earn a living. God takes care of his own, even while they sleep. Psalm 127:2 (CEV)
The Lord is not through with us as it concerns the topic of DISTRACTION. Furthemore, you are to shut the door of your life to:
g. Demonic attraction to the opposite gender: There’s a natural ‘chemistry’ between a man and woman. However, it must be well guarded, else, sin will knock on your door. As a rule of thumb, be careful of counselling the opposite sex. If the opposite gender is your weakness, look for another person to do that for you. Brethren, save your destiny before trying to save another. Why meet a woman who isn’t your spouse in the dark, or in a lonely place? Men are moved by sight, and women are moved by words and touch. Be warned. You may start to get attracted to a person you spend most of your time with which may shift your focus from your spouse, fiancé or fiancée, as the case may be. Why should you have an opposite gender as your personal assistant? What? You’ve forgotten you’re flesh and blood and you aren’t an angel?
h. Ungodly Music: Music is the food for the soul. Infact, music is more than a food! Music are ladders in the spirit. Haven’t you seen people who faint and/or die during the live concert of their idol musician? Such is the power of music! If you know you can’t read successfully with background music, why distract yourself with same? Loud music could make concentration more difficult. Lewd, sensual, and erotic music does not only distract, it also changes your soul structure and erodes your value system against God. In addition, why damage your ear drum due to loud concentrated music coming from your ear bud. Moderation is key!
i. Sleep: Poor sleep can make it difficult to focus on tasks, such as driving or working. If you don’t sleep well, you may fall sick. If you sleep too much, you will likely end up as a mediocre in the school of destiny. Hence, you must strike a balance. Generally, if many will cut down on their sleep time, and channel the extracted time to personal development, to prayer, study of God’s word, attending mentoring classes, etc., they will scale higher heights. Sleep has denied many from doing personal vigil or deep meditation. Why sleep so much like a sloth?
Quote: The most dangerous distractions are the ones you love, but don’t love you back – Warren Buffett
Prophetic Decree: Nothing shall be potent enough to stop you from fulfilling your purpose, in Jesus name.
Prayer Focus
1. Any evil demonic attraction to the opposite gender, break, in Jesus name.
2. Any Jezebel sponsored against my Jehu, the dogs of the earth shall lick your blood, in Jesus name.
3. Holy Spirit, please help me to love only music that honour Jesus, in Jesus name.
4. I receive the spirit of self-control, in Jesus name.
5. Holy Spirit, take over my sleep. Make it highly refreshing and saturated with your presence even as I wake up to invest in my destiny, in Jesus name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 111-118
