GET OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE (1)

Main Scriptures: Gen.12:1-3

More Scriptures: Am.6:1, Mic.2:10, Deut.12:9

Get out of your comfort zone! Get out of your country! That is what the Holy Spirit is saying to a husband reading this devotional. Now, the country in this context for you as the leader in your family fold may not be your physical country or location but a relationship you are involved in. It may also be some addictions or hobbies. It may be even be some lifestyles. Whatever it is, there is a need for you to get out of certain environments to secure your reign as a good and godly husband.

Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show you. And I will make thee a great nation and I will bless thee and make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee and curse them that curseth thee and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed (Gen.12:13).

The destiny of Sarah’s husband did not change positively until he changed his location and association. As a husband who wants to attain the fullness of your calling as the head of your family, you must detach your life from some friendships, relationships and addictions. Perhaps, you may have to get out of that company of friends who always take you to visit the bar where you consume alcohol and eventually fall into adultery. You may also have to cut down on your addiction to anything that takes your attention away from God and your wife and children. You must detach yourself from hobbies that seem to take you farther away from the plan and purpose of God for your life. You must deal with the arrival mentality.

SPIRITUAL EXERCISE

• Father, in the Name of Jesus, fill me with power from on high to walk in the fullness of my calling as a godly husband.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, deliver me from ungodly associations and addictions.
• Father, in the Name of Jesus, give me power to refuse evil and stand for what is good and righteous.

FAITH CONFESSION

I come out from among every association, friendship and activity that wants to take me away from God and my flock because I strive to be a good and godly husband in Jesus Name. Amen.
