Topic — Spirituality: The Greatest Need Of Life
Scripture: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33.
Thought For The Day: You have not succeeded in life until you have succeeded with God.
Spirituality implies the intensity of Divinity around Humanity. It is the quality or state of being spiritual.
One of the greatest needs of anyone in life, is true and quality spirituality. In fact, spirituality is the greatest need of life. It does not matter if the person is an employer, employee, father, mother, white man, black man, professor, illiterate, etc., his/her strongest need in life is true spirituality.
The truth is, what you need most in life is not more money, name or fame; what you need most in life is God. Irrespective of what you seek in life, seek first the Kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33). You have not succeeded in life until you have succeeded with God. The spirituality of a man is like the root of a tree, and the welfare of a tree is determined by its root; if the root is in good shape, the tree must flourish. In the same manner, the spirituality of man is the root and source of sustenance of man’s life. Thus, any venture outside Divine direction has no future. Any progress devoid of spirituality has no destiny.
Beloved, my counsel is, invest in your spirituality; investment in your spirituality is not a waste of investment. Attend to the welfare of your spiritual life above anything else. You shall make it, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: You have not succeeded in life until you have succeeded with God at the place of prayer.
Assignments:
1. Decide to fight against a dry state of spiritual life.
2. Revive and maintain your spiritual fire and intensity via prayer and fasting, the study of the Word, worship, etc.
3. Endeavour not to venture into anything or take any step without God.
Prayer: Lord, deliver me from spiritual dryness or lethargy. Help me to be vibrant spiritually and know You more, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: Mixed Gene-The Bane of Destiny by Dr. Paul Enenche
SCRIPTURE: And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. 1 Kings 18:21
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Any Christianity that does not affect your identity is iniquity and calamity in disguise. Seeds of Destiny 14 October 2018
Gene is a unit of heredity which is transferred from a parent to an offspring. It is responsible for similarity in manner or attitude of a parent and his/her children. Just as a son is expected to have a peculiar character trait that is in consonance with that of his father, a Christian is also expected to manifest the character and attributes of Christ.
However, the tragedy in our days is that there are many Christians with mixed-genes; mixture of heaven and earth, mixed gene of spirituality and carnality. They are like half Israelites and half Egyptians. They are spiritual mix-ups. They have the origin of heaven but the identity of the earth. It is true that they are Christians, but their identity says otherwise. This is why many people are in church for donkey years but see no result because their sinful character is still intact. Any Christianity that does not affect your identity is iniquity and calamity in disguise. Your identity determines your destiny; your nature determines your future; your attitude determines your outcome. Seeds of Destiny 14 October 2018
In Genesis 2:19, while referring to Moses, the daughters of Jethro told their father that an Egyptian helped them. The question is, was Moses an Egyptian? No! But they called him an Egyptian probably because of the way he dressed and behaved.
Beloved, a mistaken identity is a misplaced destiny. But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Any Christianity that does not affect your identity is iniquity and calamity in disguise.
ASSIGNMENTS Seeds of Destiny 14 October 2018:
1. If you want to follow Jesus Christ and be a genuine Christian, come out clearly and be one.
2. Avoid every anti-Christ behaviour in your life; refuse to put one leg in Church and another in the world.
3. Read and reflect on the teachings of today again
PRAYER Seeds of Destiny 14 October 2018: Lord, make me a reflection of Your Image upon the earth, and let the fragrance of Your Presence flow out of my life. Make me a true ambassador of Heaven on earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 13 October 2018 Devotional: Outlook
by dailyd | Oct 13, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: Outlook – A Product Of Inward-Look
Scripture: A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:.. Luke 6:45
Thought For The Day: The outward manifestation of a person reveals the content of his/her heart.
Sometime ago, a Christian lady was traveling in a commercial vehicle from Abuja to Lagos, Nigeria. Right in the bus, she strongly felt led to preach the gospel but she noticed that her dressing was not decent, so she decided not to preach. What a heart-touching lesson!
Beloved, any dressing or lifestyle that can hinder you from representing God in the public is not correct. Most people backup their indecency by saying that what they wear does not matter because God looks at the heart. That is not true!
Now imagine this; would you be excited if you see a pastor preaching on the altar with a ring on his ear, another one on his nose, his trousers sagging and dreadlocks on his head? Most members will leave the church and never return.
The truth is, you know a mad man not just by checking the state of his mind but by the crazy things you see him manifest outwardly. In the same manner, when you see a person seductively, suggestively or provocatively dressed, that person could be morally loose, have high tendencies for immorality or nursing immoral thoughts in his/her heart regardless of the title or position he/she occupies in church. Such a person can never be taken seriously by unbelievers.
Thus, the outward manifestation of a person reveals the content of his/her heart.
Beloved, make up your mind to be decent in character, dressing and lifestyle.
Remember This: The outward manifestation of a person reveals the content of his/her heart.
Assignments:
1. Whatever is not your intention must not command your attention; don’t be taken for what you don’t want to be known for. Never let your appearance misrepresent you.
2. Refuse to appear in such a way that would lead other people to hell fire.
Prayer: O Lord, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I make demands on Your grace to maintain a decent lifestyle in dressing. I refuse to be a source of temptation to people around me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 12 October 2018 Devotional
by dailyd | Oct 12, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Statement Of Character
Scripture: When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? Matthew 16:13
Thought For The Day: You are meant to be a mobile epistle by your character.
Character is the distinctive behavioural pattern of a person. It is critical to know that character speaks. Your character makes statements whether you are aware or not, and the statement of your character is louder than the utterance of your speech.
The truth is, your character determines your destiny; your nature fuels your future, your behaviour facilitates your becoming; your doings determine your dignity, and your action affects your outcome in life.
From our anchor Scripture, Jesus Christ asked His disciples, ‘Whom do men say that I the Son of man am’? Jesus seemed to be saying, ‘I am aware that I am the Son of God, but from my behaviour, character and dealings with men since I came to the Earth, do men still regard me as the Son of God?’ (Matthew 16:13 Paraphrased).
Today, the tragedy is, the sound of the character of many Christians repels unbelievers from God and His Church.
Beloved, you are meant to be the Bible that your neighbour, colleague or classmate who is an unbeliever does not have. They believe what you do more than what you say to them. This is why St. Francis of Assisi once said, ‘Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary use words’. That is, you are meant to be a mobile epistle by your character. You are meant to convict sinners of sin by the voice and statement of your Godly character.
Beloved, make up your mind to live a quality Christian life; display a character that shows people that you belong to God.
Remember This: You are meant to be a mobile epistle by your character.
Assignments:
1. Determine to live a life of quality character.
2. Be conscious of the fact that others are watching you to learn from you; live right. Live well.
Prayer: O Lord, I make demands on Your grace to maintain a quality character. I refuse to live a life that repels people from You or from Your Church, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY 11 OCTOBER 2018 DEVOTIONAL
by dailyd | Oct 11, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
,TOPIC — VISION: A NECESSITY FOR LIFE’S JOURNEY
Scripture: And the Lord answered me and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. Habakkuk 2:2
Thought For The Day: The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.
Vision is the capacity to see the ultimate in the immediate; it is the ability to see tomorrow today. Vision is also traveling with the destination in mind.
It has been confirmed that life is a journey, and every journey requires adequate preparation. The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.
Again, just as every journey requires adequate preparation, the journey of life requires adequate preparation and vision is a major necessity in the preparation of the journey of life.
Vision, in this sense, is a mental picture of a preferred future. Vision is also insight into God’s plan for your life. Vision gives you the ability to plan and the capacity to pursue your plans and measure your progress. This is the point where you ask yourself questions like, ‘Who am I? Why am I? What do I want to achieve in life? How do I intend to achieve it? Your answers to these questions constitute your vision for living. That gives you your vision and mission statements!
Beloved, in order not to faint in life, you need vision; in order not to end your journey on earth as a casualty, vision is a critical requirement.
My counsel is, ask God to give you a vision for your life; and if you already have a vision, ask God to give you more details about the vision and the workable action plan for its realization.
Remember This: The extent of your preparation determines the success of your journey.
Assignments:
1. Ask God for a solid vision for your life (if you have not yet discovered your vision for living).
2. Make up your mind not to embark on any journey without God.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask that You reveal me to me. Help me with the grace to always possess a solid vision in line with Your Will for my life Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 10 October 2018 Devotional — The Impact Of Actions
by dailyd | Oct 10, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
‘Topic: The Impact Of Actions
Scripture: And Joshua said, Why hast thou troubled us? the LORD shall trouble thee this day. And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. Joshua 7:25
Thought For The Day: It is the actions of today that deliver the impacts of tomorrow.
Sometime ago, an eighteen-year-old young lady who was in the Senior Secondary School (SS2) sent a message to our church line. She wrote, ‘Pastor, I feel so dirty and defiled, I want to kill myself’. My wife and I put a call through to her to know what happened. She said that when she was four years old, a mature person in her neighbourhood raped her. After that demonic action, she would come under an uncontrollable urge to commit immorality with whosoever and whatsoever she saw. As a result of that, she had slept with numerous men that she had lost count of. She had become a shadow of herself, there was nothing like education nor a definite future in her mind or focus, all because of a wicked, self-centered, satan-sponsored, destiny-destroying man who decided to pick up a four-year old baby and initiate her into an immoral covenant that has ruined her life and destroyed her destiny. It was such a pathetic case. What a level of wickedness!
Beloved, whatever you sow, you will reap (Galatians 6:7); living is seeding; life has consequences. It is the actions of today that deliver the impacts of tomorrow. Refuse to be allowed to be used by the devil.
On the other hand, if you have been a victim of the negative actions of others, God can restore and repair your life. My counsel is, draw closer to God and allow Him to mend your life for His Purpose.
Remember This: It is the actions of today that deliver the impacts of tomorrow.
Assignments:
1. Be conscious of the decisions you make and the actions you take per time; read the account of Achan in Joshua 7:1-25 for a broader understanding of our anchor Scripture.
2. Make up your mind not to sow a negative seed in the life of anyone.
Prayer: Lord, I refuse to be a victim of the activity of any agent of wickedness. Grant me the grace to always act correctly and make positive impact in the life of everyone that comes my way Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
