TOPIC: The Relationship Between Sin and Prayer
SCRIPTURE: The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight. Proverbs 15:8
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more.
MESSAGE: Prayer is a solemn request for help or an expression of desire and affection to God; Prayer is an act of communicating with God.
It is important to know that prayer cannot be effective until the matter of sin has been dwelt with.
The truth is, prayer and sin are mutually exclusive. They are diametrically opposed. They don’t co-exist. The decision to sin is a decision against prayer and the decision to pray is a decision against sin.
Prayer keeps people from sin and sin keeps people from praying. Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more. One of the major agendas of sin is to launch an attack on the prayer life of a person.
For instance, when a person has smoked cigarette, drunk alcohol, committed immorality, taken money or something he/she was not given, told a lie, etc., the flow of prayer from such person’s mouth would be a struggle, except he/she is a chronic hypocrite. The Presence of God around that life would be lost.
Beloved, the greatest loss in life is not the loss of money, friendship or a job; the greatest loss in life is the loss of the Presence of God and relationship with the Creator. It is an eternal loss! But that shall not be your portion, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Those who pray more sin less and those who pray less sin more.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Confess and repent of any sin in your life.
2. Always maintain a healthy relationship with God; do not be too big to ask God for mercy
3. Ensure that your prayer life is alive; never go a day or a week without fasting or praying, it is risky.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask for Your mercy in any area I have fallen short of Your glory. Grant me the grace to maintain a buoyant relationship with You. I refuse to live with a fireless prayer life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 28 October 2018 Devotional: Reliability
by dailyd | Oct 27, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: Your Spirituality And Your Mentality
Scripture: The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. Psalms 14:1
Thought For The Day: Nearness to God is nearness to sense; nobody can be sensible who is distant from God.
There is a relationship between spirituality and mentality. That is why it is a delusion of grandeur, decadence of mentality and foolishness at its peak to think that God does not exist (Psalms 14:1). As a matter of fact, spirituality sharpens mentality. The closer you get to God, the more like Him you think. Nearness to God is nearness to sense. Nobody can be sensible who is distant from God; disconnection from God is impartation of stupidity.
The Scripture says in Ecclesiastes 8:1 that a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine (paraphrased). And the fear of the Lord which is spirituality is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). So, the equation is, spirituality provokes wisdom and wisdom provokes stardom. Wisdom makes stars; wise people are star people. Authority belongs to those with high spirituality and solidity of mentality.
Today, the reason why some governments fail and the people suffer is the manifestation of low spirituality and the display of the shortage of mentality. Nothing works out when the mind is not at work.
Beloved, make up your mind to go deeper with God; the deeper you get to God, the more sense you acquire and the more outstanding your life becomes.
Remember This: Nearness to God is nearness to sense; nobody can be sensible who is distant from God.
Assignments:
1. Increase your wisdom capacity by increasing your spirituality.
2. Ask God for Wisdom (James 1:5).
Prayer: Lord, I connect the grace to maintain a solid spiritual stand with you. Deliver me from the plague of lack of mentality and the display of foolishness Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 26 October 2018 Devotional
by dailyd | Oct 26, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Danger of Unforgiveness
Scripture: And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25
Thought For The Day: The root of bitterness (unforgiveness) makes life bitter.
Unforgiveness refers to the lack of forgiveness; it is the inability of a person to let go of offences and offenders from his/her heart. It is very important to forgive because unforgiveness has many dangers.
Now, what are some of the dangers of unforgiveness?
1. Unforgiveness prevents people from receiving from God
The truth is, if you feel someone’s offence against you is too grievous for you to forgive, your sins as well would be too grievous for God to forgive (Matthew 18:32-35).
2. Prayer becomes a waste of time where unforgiveness is in place
Without forgiveness, prayer becomes a waste of time and an exercise in futility (Matthew 18:35).
3. Unforgiveness attracts the ministry of tormentors
If you don’t forgive, you have signed in to the activities of tormentors in your life. Cancer is a tormentor, ulcer, paralysis, arthritis, poverty, witchcraft attacks, etc. are all tormentors (Matthew 18:32-35). But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
4. Unforgiveness invites troubles to life.
The root of bitterness (unforgiveness) makes life bitter
5. Unforgiveness leads people to eternal damnation in hell fire (1 John 3:14-15).
Unforgiveness is the pathway to eternity in hellfire. Therefore, refuse to go to hell because of being hurt by a person.
Now, what are the keys to forgiveness?
1. Remember that you have been forgiven by God of your sins
Always know that if God could forgive you, you too can forgive another person.
2. Remember that your eternity is at stake
To agree to be unforgiving is to sign in for hellfire.
Beloved, I prophesy the grace and the spirit of forgiveness upon you, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: The root of bitterness (unforgiveness) makes life bitter.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind not to go to hell because of offence or hurt.
2. Ask God daily for the grace to forgive.
3. Pray for and reconcile with all offenders.
Prayer: Lord, I make demands on Your grace to be able to forgive offences and offenders. Help me not to be an agent of offence to people Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

TOPIC: Giving Life All It Takes
SCRIPTURE: And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house Acts 20:20
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who sow mediocrity must reap obscurity; to sow lethargy is to harvest poverty.
Giving life all it takes means holding nothing back. This is coming to a point where all that God deposited in you in the form of talents and potentials are being maximally utilized for the benefits of both humanity and Divinity.
The truth is, life is not a rehearsal but a reality. You don’t have eternity to fulfil destiny. If you have the stage, make sense on time because you will not have the stage forever. Approach life with a sense of urgency.
Therefore, I would like you to take note of the following thought-provoking facts:
1. ‘When you give life all it takes, life gives you all it contains.’ (Bishop David Oyedepo)
2. The best of life answers to the best of man.
3. Average input can never deliver excellent outcome.
4. Life is a fertile ground: Life is a seed, what you sow determines what you reap.
Those who sow mediocrity must reap obscurity; to sow lethargy is to harvest poverty. You cannot sow laziness and reap prominence. If you sow quality, you will reap notoriety.
5. God is a Rewarder of excellence.
God is an excellent God; He recognizes excellence when He sees it; He rewards excellence.
Beloved, you make the most of life when you give to life all it takes. Diligence or hard work is the vehicle for such excellent delivery.
I prophesy the release of spirit of excellence upon you now, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Those who sow mediocrity must reap obscurity; to sow lethargy is to harvest poverty.
ASSIGNMENTS: Seeds of Destiny 25 October 2018
1. Determine to give life all it takes.
2. Embrace hard work and avoid laziness.
3. Do your work excellently: if it won’t be done excellently, it should be left totally.
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of laziness and mediocrity. Grant me the grace to give life all it takes to be a blessing to both humanity and Divinity, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 24 October 2018 Devotional: Humility
by dailyd | Oct 24, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: Humility – A Sign of Spirituality
Scripture: Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:10
Thought For The Day: Limitation in humility is the limitation of destiny.
Humility is the quality of having a modest view of one’s importance. Humility means being devoid of an exaggerated lifestyle.
Now, there is a connection between humility and spirituality. Spiritual people are humble people, and until your humility is in place, your destiny is not in view. It is the limit of your spirituality that determines the limit of your humility, and the limit of your humility determines the limit of your destiny. Thus, limitation in humility is the limitation of destiny.
Now, two ways a person can be imparted with humility are:
1. The humility of spirituality
In this, the virtue of Jesus Christ Who is the emblem of humility flows on a true child of God willing to possess the same virtue.
2. The humility of adversity
This is the humility that is imparted by adversity or calamity. For example, when King Nebuchadnezzar refused to humble himself before God, adversity took him to the wilderness and imparted him with humility (Daniel 4:1-37). The same was spoken of the prodigal son. He became so incapacitated by poverty that he even desired pig’s meal and could not get any to eat; his mentality got adjusted and humility was imparted (Luke 15:11-32).
My counsel is, embrace the humility of spirituality in order to escape the humility of adversity. You shall make it, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: Limitation in humility is the limitation of destiny.
Assignments:
1. Do not wait until adversity humbles you, be humbled through spirituality.
2. Always realize that what you are and all that you have were given to you by God; so, avoid the pathway of pride and arrogance.
Prayer: Lord, deliver me from the spirit of pride and arrogance. I receive fresh baptism and grace for spiritual intensity and absolute humility Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
