Topic: Living To Please God
Scripture: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Matthew 3:17
Thought For The Day: Your life is either giving God excitement or causing Him embarrassment.
God is the Owner and the Giver of life (John 14:6, Psalms 36:9). There is a purpose God gives life to everyone. A major purpose God gives us life is for us to please and glorify Him with our lives.
Now, what does it mean to live and please God? Living to please God means living as a source of joy, happiness or satisfaction to God with your lifestyle.
Our anchor Scripture shows clearly how God is pleased with His Son, Jesus Christ. This was also the case of Job in Job 1:8. Job pleased God with His lifestyle to the point where God began to boast about him to the devil. The question is, what took Job to that realm? It was a lifestyle of pleasing to God.
Today, there are children of God who bring agony to God by their lifestyles; the way they live disrespects God.
Beloved, how does God feel about your conduct in your place of work, where you live and what you do? Are you giving God pleasure with your life or you are causing Him pain with your life? Is God proud of you or ashamed of you?
The truth is, your life is either giving God excitement or causing Him embarrassment; your life is either a source of pleasure to God or a source of pain to Him.
My counsel is, live to give God pleasure with your life continually all the days of your life.
Remember This: Your life is either giving God excitement or causing Him embarrassment.
Assignments:
1. Determine to give God pleasure with your life
2. Avoid anything that would constitute a source of pain and embarrassment to God
Prayer: Lord, I thank You for Your Word to me today. I refuse to cause You pain with my lifestyle. I connect the grace to bring You pleasure and excitement like Job did, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 8 October 2018 Devotional
by dailyd | Oct 8, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: Accessing Divine Direction
Scripture: I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me…Habakkuk 2:1
Thought For The Day: Travelling without direction is ending without distinction.
Direction, according to Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary, connotes instructions on how to reach a destination or about how to do something. It is the course which must be taken in order to reach a destination or to get something done. It is also the management or guidance of someone or something in achieving a progress.
Direction is knowing what to do in order to leave where you are. Direction is key to acceleration in life.
Divine direction is the direction that comes from God through the leading of the Spirit. It has been confirmed that Divine direction is one of the greatest assets in life. The worst thing that can happen to anyone is to travel fast in the wrong direction. Travelling without direction is ending without distinction. It is Divine direction that averts disasters in life. Divine direction eliminates destruction. Direction by God forbids distraction and guarantees destination in life.
Now, one way to access Divine direction is by prayer (Jeremiah 33:3). Prayer is a means of communicating with God. It is at the place of prayer that destinies are revealed and potentials are unveiled. Nothing shows a man the right way to follow like prayer.
At the place of prayer, the vision for your future becomes clear, the direction for your daily living is accessed and the revelation/wisdom you require for profitable living is unveiled.
Today, I prophesy unto you, the last time you missed your direction shall be the last forever, in Jesus’ Name.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to pray fervently; seek God’s direction in everything you do at the place of prayer (Philippians 4:6).
Remember This: Travelling without direction is ending without distinction.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind not to take any step outside Divine direction or guidance.
2. Ask God for His help and direction at the place of prayer.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for a clear revelation of Your blueprint for my life and destiny. Help me Lord not to miss my path in life, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: Connecting With Fresh Mantle
SCRIPTURE: And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof…He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan. 2 Kings 2:12-13
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your connection determines your collection; your heart for the mantle determines your part in the mantle.
MESSAGE: Mantles are sacred graces of God upon those who are called by God as validation of His calling on their lives. For example, Prophets, evangelists, pastors or priests carry the mantles of their callings as a symbol of power and authority.
It is confirmed from our anchor Scripture that mantles are transferable. The transference of mantles from a higher vessel to a lower vessel by the instrumentality of the Holy Spirit without reduction or diminishing in quantity, capacity and intensity of the former is a possibility. And that process is called impartation.
When you connect to a carrier of the mantle of God appropriately and passionately, the mantle can drop on you.
The truth is, your connection determines your collection; your heart for the mantle determines your part in the mantle.
Seeds of Destiny 7 October 2018 – Connecting With Fresh Mantle by Dr. Paul Enenche
Beloved, in order not to exist as a victim in a time such as this, you need the mantle; in order to escape defeat in life’s battles, the mantle is an indispensable necessity. You need the mantle to tackle the battles around your life. You need the mantle to mesmerize whatever is threatening to mess up your destiny.
Beloved, receive the impartation of the mantle of God on my life and upon the Dunamis Commission. That mantle shall begin to answer for you, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Your connection determines your collection; your heart for the mantle determines your part in the mantle.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Increase your level of value for the mantle carrier in order for the mantle to profit you.
2. Desperately desire and connect the mantle that you need at the place of prayer.

SEEDS OF DESTINY 6 OCTOBER 2018 DEVOTIONAL
by dailyd | Oct 6, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
TOPIC: THE VOICE AND UTTERANCE OF MOTIVE
Scripture: But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. 1 Samuel 16:7
Thought For The Day: The utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions.
Motive connotes the expressed or unexpressed reason for an action; it is the driving force of a man’s actions. The truth is, there is no human being on earth that acts without a definite motive.
It is amazing to know that motives have voices; motive speaks, and the utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions. The voice of your motive speaks louder than the voice of your actions. It is true that actions speak louder than words but motives speak louder than actions. This is why our anchor Scripture confirms that beyond our actions, God sees and knows the intent of our hearts. Behind our actions, God goes deeper to know the motive behind the things we do – why we do what we do, why we go to church, why we join a particular department in church, why we give offering, why we make money, the motive behind our quest for popularity, etc. For example, most people make donations in church, and in the sight of men, they appear very okay but in the sight of God, their donations are abominations because their motives are wrong.
In 2 Chronicles 25:1-2, the Bible says, Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem…And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
Beloved, what is your driving force in life? Are you driven by the consensus or you are driven by your convictions? Is it the craving to be like others or the desire and passion to please God? My counsel is, ensure you have a correct, genuine and sincere motive behind every action for God sees beyond your actions; He sees your heart.
Remember This: The utterance of your motive is louder than the utterance of your actions.
Assignments:
1. Ask God to purge you of every wrong motive behind the actions of your life.
2. Endeavour to understand God’s motive behind His actions from His Word.
Prayer: Lord, I ask for forgiveness for every wrong motive I have ever had in doing anything both before You and before men. I receive the grace to cultivate and maintain the right motive in everything I do, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 5 October 2018: Reverence for God by Dr. Paul Enenche
by dailyd | Oct 5, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic ; Reverence for God
FRIDAY 5TH OCTOBER, 2018
SCRIPTURE: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: Hebrews 12:28
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your reverence for God makes you a reference in life. Your respect for God deletes your reproach in life.
MESSAGE: We live in a generation where people have no reverence for God. We are in a generation where people idolize the material and mundane things of life ahead of their worship and devotion to God. We live in a generation where people have little or no value for spirituality or the things of God.
Let me give you an illustration: during my university days, there was a brother in the fellowship who usually went with other brethren to a mountain to pray. But while others were praying, he would be sleeping. Whenever they woke him up to pray, he would say something like: ‘Leave me alone; I’m in the Spirit.’ But the truth was that he was sleeping. So, one day, he fell asleep as usual while others were praying. When they were through with the prayer, they left him on the mountain in order for him to remain in the ‘Spirit’ as he always claimed, and he slept until he was tired. Eventually, when he woke up, he realized that the brethren had left him on the mountain and gone back to the hostel. So, he became very angry and asked them, ‘Why did you people leave me on the mountain? Then they answered, ‘You were in the ‘spirit’, so, we decided to leave you to be in the ‘spirit’, we did not want to pull you out of the ‘spirit.’’ That was serious!
The question is, is it possible to be talking to the President of a country and be sleeping at the same time? Sleeping while praying or while a preaching is going on is a confirmation of lack of reverence for God. Our reverence for God is measured by how we conduct ourselves in His Presence in service, at the place of prayer and in our day-to-day activities wherever we are. It is also reflected in our priorities, choices and decisions in life.
Beloved, your reverence for God makes you a reference in life. Your respect of God delete your reproach in life. To the extent you value God, to that extent you will be valued in life and destiny.
REMEMBER THIS: Your reverence for God makes you a reference in life. Your respect for God deletes your reproach in life
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Never take God for granted so that you won’t end up grounded in life.
2. Refuse, resist and flee any temptation to disrespect God

Seeds of Destiny 4 October 2018 Devotional — A Lifting By Vision
by dailyd | Oct 4, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: A Lifting By Vision
Scripture: And the Lord said unto Abram…Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward…to thee will I give… Genesis 13:14-15
Thought For The Day: What man sees determines what God gives; to see far is to go far.
The realm of authority and dominion is God’s plan for His children. As children of God, authority is our realm, dominion is our position and the high places of life is our destiny. The Most High God cannot have the most-low children.
From our anchor Scripture, we understand that God asked Abraham to lift up his eyes. Now, a lift can be described as a raise or a shift from a lower position to a higher position. God always wants His children to exist in a high realm or position in life. So, there is a connection between seeing and lifting; there is a connection between vision and promotion. People of great vision are people of great lifting.
The truth is, what man sees determines what God gives. As long as Abraham saw nothing, God gave him nothing, but when he lifted up his eyes and began to see, God had no other choice but to give him the lands. The extent of your seeing determines the measure of your receiving (Genesis 13:14-15). To see far is to go far.
When a man sees enlargement in the eyes of his mind, that man is set for a lifting. It is not possible to have a mega result in life with a micro insight.
David had the vision to kill Goliath despite Goliath’s size and vast experience in war. That vision delivered Goliath cheaply to David and shifted him to the next level in Israel.
Today, I prophesy upon you the capacity to see the future and the grace to look beyond the immediate in order to achieve the ultimate, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: What a man sees determine what God gives; to see far is to go far.
Assignments:
1. Determine to be a person of vision.
2. Take action steps to realize the visions of your life.
Prayer: O Lord, help me to be a person of solid vision. Deliver me from the lifestyle of visionlessness, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
