Topic: How to Maintain a Strong Faith [Seeds of Destiny 12 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Thought For The Day: Your character determines your confidence; your conduct determines your courage.
In our previous studies, we saw the importance of faith in the life of a Christian; we saw that to be successful in life, faith is non-negotiable. We also saw how faith works; we saw that faith works by celebrating faith confirmations and also by maintaining faith associations.
Today, it is very important to continue our studies on how to maintain a strong faith.
1. By Engaging the Holy Spirit
God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, boldness and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The Holy Spirit is the sponsor of the audacity of faith. Praying in the Spirit is key to building your faith (Jude Verse 20).
2. By Maintaining Uprightness of Life
The wicked flee when no man pursues but the righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1); your character determines your confidence, your conduct determines your courage. You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide; integrity facilitates audacity, iniquity destroys audacity, and iniquity brings timidity.
3. By Refusing to put your Confidence in Man
If you want your faith to work, you must look away from man. The Bible says that they looked up to him and they were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed (Psalm 34:5). Jeremiah 17:5-7; makes us to understand that the one who looks unto man is cursed.
My counsel is, activate your faith by praying in the Holy Ghost, maintaining the life of righteousness and putting confidence in no man.
Remember this: Your character determines your confidence; your conduct determines your courage.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to activate a life of faith by praying in the Holy Ghost constantly.
2. Maintain an upright living and put confidence in no man.
Prayer: O LORD, I ask for the grace to pray in the Holy Ghost constantly and live an upright life. Help me not to put my confidence in man in order to develop a life of faith LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 11 September 2018 Daily Devotional
by dailyd | Sep 11, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
TOPIC: The Key to Healthy Living
SCRIPTURE: And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:14-15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions.
Message: In the Book of Numbers Chapter Twenty One, the Bible gives an account of the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. In the wilderness, they erred by speaking against God and His servant, Moses. Then God permitted serpents to bite them. When they cried out to Moses, God told Moses to mould a fiery serpent made of brass and set it on a pole so that anyone who looked up at the serpent on the pole after being bitten would be healed from the venom of the biting serpent on the ground.
Now, in the New Testament, Our Master, Jesus tells us in the above scripture that the way the serpent was lifted in the wilderness was the same way He, the son of man would be lifted up. This means, the way the children of Israel were healed when they looked up at the serpent on the pole is the same way we would be healed and delivered when we look up to Jesus who was crucified on the Cross.
This is the key to healthy living!
In practical terms, how does this apply to us today? When you are sick or afflicted, lift up your eyes of faith to the Cross of Calvary where ‘It is finished.’ On the Cross of Calvary, Jesus finished all the works of the devil, including afflictions and diseases. The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions. So, when you look up to the Cross where sickness and diseases had already been finished by Jesus, you would be healed of every sickness in your body. This understanding is key to terminating every sickness in your body and maintaining a healthy life.
My counsel is, always look up to the Cross of Calvary and you will be made whole.
Remember this: The Cross is God’s answer that crushes all sicknesses and afflictions.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to look up at the Cross of Calvary with your eyes of faith.
2. Ask God to heal you of every sickness and affliction in your life.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for perfecting my healing on the Cross of Calvary. I receive my total healing by looking up at the finished work of Christ on the Cross of Calvary, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 6 September 2018 – The Place of Faith in Exploits
by dailyd | Sep 6, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Place of Faith in Exploits [Seeds of Destiny 6 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. – Luke 17:6
Thought For The Day: Exploits are results that break existing records and set new ones.
Previously, we saw the definitions of faith. We saw that faith is the partnership of humanity with Divinity for the establishment of possibilities on the earth amongst many others.
Having understood faith, it is necessary to understand the products of faith or what faith will do in the life of a Christian.
Now, one of the products of faith is that, faith is the highway to a world of exploits (Hebrews 11:32-34). By faith, as we can see from the above scripture, men of old subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouth of lions, quenched the violence of the fire, escaped the edge of the sword, waxed valiant in fight and were made strong. This means, faith is the highway to a world of exploits.
Now, if faith is a highway to a world of exploit; the question is, what is exploit? I will give you three definitions of exploit:
(a) Exploits are Attention-Commanding Results
These are results that command the attention of people, government and even the devil; they are results that even the devil cannot claim ignorance of.
(b) Exploits are Record-Breaking, Record-Making and Record-Setting Results
Exploits are results that break existing records and set new ones. To do exploit is to do what nobody else has ever done before.
(c) Exploits are Earth-Shaking and Ground-Breaking Results
Exploits are results that shake the earth and break the grounds; it is an earthquake dimension of results and impact (Acts 16:25).
Beloved, in order to live a life of exploits, you must have solid faith in God. My counsel is, develop a solid faith in God in order to shake your world for God.
Remember this: Exploits are results that break existing records and set new ones.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to do great exploits for God in your-lifetime.
2. Engage the weapon of faith that is necessary for ground-breaking exploits and impacts.
Prayer: I receive grace for earth-shaking dimensions of exploit. I connect to the spirit and power of faith for great exploits, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Understanding Faith [Seeds of Destiny 5 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1-2 (NIV)
Thought For The Day: Faith is the spiritual force that translates unseen realities into visible materiality.
It has been established that faith is very important in our Christian journey on earth; the quality of our Christian life is anchored on the quality of our faith. Therefore, it is very important to understand what faith is all about.
Now, what is faith?
1. Faith is the partnership of humanity with Divinity for the establishment of possibilities on the earth.
We say faith is at work when humanity comes into partnership with Divinity for the establishment of possibilities on the face of the earth.
2. Faith is a living force connected from the living Word of the living God to produce living proofs.
By faith, a person connects the living force from the living Word of the living God to produce living, undeniable and irresistible proofs.
3. Faith is believing the incredible or the unbelievable, daring the unthinkable and doing the impossible.
A man of faith believes what other people cannot believe, dares what is not thinkable and does what is impossible.
4. Faith is the acceptance of scriptural responsibilities for the achievement of practical impossibilities.
A person of faith looks into scriptures and sees responsibilities or what God wants him to do, accepts those responsibilities and begins to do what God asks him to do which results in the achievement of unbelievable impossibilities.
5. Faith is the spiritual force that translates unseen realities into visible materiality.
Faith is the spiritual force for the translation of unseen realities into visible materiality.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your life to live by faith; cultivate the life of faith in order to have a buoyant destiny on earth and make it to eternity in heaven.
Remember this: Faith is the spiritual force that translates unseen realities into visible materiality.
Assignments:
1. Determine to search and accept scriptural responsibilities.
2. Do what you have found out from scriptures in order to see great results and manifestations in life.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to search and accept scriptural responsibilities. Help me to put Your Word into practice, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
