TOPIC: STANDING FOR GOD
Scripture: …Joseph brought unto his father their evil report. Genesis 37:2.
Thought For The Day: Iniquity kills Destiny
The Scripture makes it clear that one key character of life and destiny worthy of emulation is Joseph. Joseph existed in such a realm of massive destiny and impact that he became a voice in a strange land. Everyone in Egypt was at his command; it was what he said that happened and his exploits cannot be wiped out both in time and eternity.
Now, what was the secret of Joseph? It is standing in righteousness. Joseph took a stand for God; he stood against the evil practices of his brothers. He was against the wind of worldliness that blew everyone in his time and consequently, he existed in an enviable realm.
Beloved, to be different from the world and make a mark for God, you must take a stand for God, you must stand out from the crowd; you must run against the evil wind of unrighteousness and iniquity. If Joseph had consented to the pressure and pleasure of immorality from Potiphar’s wife, his destiny would have been buried. In the same way, when you fall into the temptation of committing immorality and other sinful practices and habits, you bury your destiny. Iniquity kills destiny. On the other hand, integrity is key to fulfilling destiny.
Beloved, my counsel is, stand out from the crowd by standing on the ground of righteousness; refuse to do what everyone is doing if it is against God’s Word.
Remember This: Iniquity kills Destiny
Assignments:
1. Endeavour to stand out for God in everything you do.
2. Always make up your mind to say ‘No’ to sin and all forms of iniquity.
3. Draw closer to God in personal intimacy and relationship.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to stand out for You in my generation; Help me Lord to live a life of integrity and positive character, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 22 October 2018 Devotional
by dailyd | Oct 22, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Synergy of Spirituality and Responsibility
Scripture: But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 1 Corinthians 15:10
Thought For The Day: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity; spirituality that is bankrupt of responsibility is carnality.
There is a synergy between spirituality and responsibility. You cannot be truly spiritual and not be responsible. Spirituality is always accompanied with a sense of responsibility. To be spiritual is to be ready to take responsibility.
Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity. Spirituality bankrupt of responsibility is carnality. Anyone who is genuinely spiritual would be thoroughly responsible. For instance, a spiritual man would be a responsible husband to his wife and children. Nobody would genuinely know God and be a bad wife. As a wife, you cannot claim to know God genuinely and not submit to your husband. As a husband, you cannot claim you love God and you are beating your wife. You cannot say you know God and be duping or defrauding your business partners. If you know God, you will not allow yourself to be paid a salary you did not work for. To be a good Christian is to be a good and responsible husband, child, wife, employee, employer or citizen. To know God well is to do things right; to know God well is to have your conscience alive for responsibility.
Beloved, nothing refines character like spirituality. The closer you get to God the more like God you become in character. (2 Corinthians 3:18).
I prophesy upon you the grace for spiritual intensity and vibrancy. The last time you had character deficiency because of epileptic spirituality shall be the last forever, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: Spirituality without responsibility is insincerity; spirituality that is bankrupt of responsibility is carnality.
Assignments:
1. Repent of any area you may have compromised your spirituality.
2. Determine to maintain your spiritual fire at all costs and be responsible.
Prayer: Lord, I ask for Your mercy in any area I have compromised my spirituality. Help me to confirm my spirituality by being responsible Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 21 October 2018 Devotional
by dailyd | Oct 21, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Eternal Peril of Bitterness
Scripture: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Hebrews 12:15
Thought For The Day: Any forgiveness that is done with the mouth but the heart remains bitter is a waste of forgiveness.
Sometime ago, a young lady gave a shocking testimony in our Church: She said that in the dream of the night, she saw her soul leave her body to eternity where she stood before a man who wore a white garment. The man brought out the Book of Life and opened it before her but her name was not found in it. Then the man showed her the picture of a lady who she knew before in the world and with whom she had quarrelled. The man said, ‘You told her you had forgiven her, but you were still bitter towards her; each time you saw her, you got angry within yourself but laughed with her outside. Now because you could not forgive her from your heart, you will be thrown into the hellfire to be tormented forever.’ It was at this point that she saw my wife and I on our knees interceding for her. So, the man lifted her up and gave her a second chance.
Beloved, any forgiveness that is done with the mouth but the heart remains bitter is a waste of forgiveness.
My counsel is, forgive from the depth of your heart; forgive that man who jilted you; forgive that lady who took away your husband or fiancé; forgive that robber, that young man or relation of yours who raped you; forgive that brother or sister in church who you did business with but duped you; forgive your parents who abandoned you; forgive the lecturer who took advantage of you and went ahead to fail you; forgive, forgive, I say, forgive!
Remember This: Any forgiveness that is done with the mouth but the heart remains bitter is a waste of forgiveness.
Assignments:
1. Ask God for fresh grace to forgive.
2. Show your total forgiveness by reconciling with anyone who has hurt you in the past.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for fresh grace to forgive those who have hurt me. Remove every trace of bitterness and heaviness from my heart. I receive mercy from You Lord, in Jesus; Name.

Seeds of Destiny 20 October 2018
by dailyd | Oct 20, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
TOPIC: Relinquishing the Ownership of Your Life to God
SCRIPTURE: This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise. Isaiah 43:21
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Claiming to give your life to God while your resources are not owned by Him is deception.
MESSAGE : The place of understanding in the life of a person is very critical in fulfilling destiny; where understanding is lacking, abuse is inevitable.
Previously, we saw that the bankruptcy of the understanding of what it means to give one’s life to Christ is a reason for people remaining unchanged even after answering the altar call to give their lives to Christ. Hence, a correct understanding of what it means to give or surrender one’s life to Christ is very important.
Another reason why this understanding is important is because many people who claim to have given their lives to Christ place priority on vanity instead of spirituality; and on carnality above purity. People are more concerned about what to drive or wear to the detriment of maintaining quality Christian life. In the midst of obvious materialism, they still claim to have given their lives to Christ. Is this what it means to give one’s life to Christ? Not at all!
Now, I give you one implication of giving one’s life to Christ:
Allowing God to have the title deed of your life
This is where God has the full ownership of your life; what you do with your time, how you appear, your resources, your energy or the relationships of your life, etc. are all for the glory of God.
When God has the ownership of your life, He also owns your resources. Claiming to give your life to God while your resources are not owned by Him is deception. The truth is, it is not a matter of how much you can give to God but how much of God’s money are you keeping for yourself.
Beloved, make up your mind to come to a point where God can boldly say that He owns you.
REMEMBER THIS: Claiming to give your life to God while your resources are not owned by Him is deception.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Determine to make God the Centre of your life.
2. Have the God-first mentality in everything you do.
PRAYER: Lord, I surrender all I am and have to You. Kill every desire to gratify the flesh in me Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: A life without Christ is set for crisis. To be independent of God is to be ineffective in life. Culled from 365 WISDOM CAPSULES by Dr Paul Enenche

4 things you MUST know before getting married
by dailyd | Oct 18, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: Understanding What It Means to Give One’s Life to Christ
Scripture: And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 9:23-24
Thought For The Day: A life outside Christ is a life full of crises; a Christ-less life is a crisis-full life.
In our churches today, many people give their lives to Jesus when a call is made to do so but take their lives back from God by the way they live. This is because they do not understand what it really means to give one’s life to Christ. The way they live outside the church contradicts their profession of Christianity. Hence, it is very important to know what it really means to give one’s life to Christ.
Now, what then does it mean to give your life to Christ?
1. Saying NO to Sin and All forms of Unrighteousness
To give your life to Christ is to say NO to sin and all forms of unrighteousness. It is to embrace the Godly life of holiness, righteousness and uprightness in conformity to the life of Jesus Christ.
2. Relinquishing the Control of your Life to God
This is coming to a point where you completely hand over the control of your life to God and you cannot claim to own yourself any longer.
3. Allowing God to have the Final Say
To give your life to Christ is to allow God to have the final say over your life; it is coming to a point where you can take no decision in life without God.
4. Ceasing to Live for Yourself but for God Alone
To give your life to God is to cease to live for yourself; you start living for God. It is coming to a point like Paul the Apostle who said, ‘For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.’ (Philippians 1:21).
Beloved, a life outside Christ is a life full of crises; a Christ-less life is a crisis-full life. But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Remember This: A life outside of Christ is a life full of crises; a Christ-less life is a crisis-full life.
Assignments:
1. Handover the totality of your life to God by making up your mind to give your life to Christ today (if you have not done that).
2. Decide to develop a quality spiritual life of prayer and study of the Word of God.
Prayer: Lord, I surrender the totality of my life to You. Give me the grace to be a Christian not by confession but by character, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
