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

,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.

Seeds of Destiny 9 October 2018 Devotional — Living To Please God
by dailyd | Oct 9, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
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 7, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
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 7 October 2018 – Connecting With Fresh Mantle by Dr. Paul Enenche
FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: FRESH MANTLE THROUGH PRAYER.
PRAYER: O Lord, help me to connect appropriately with the mantle on my spiritual father. I receive the grace to intensify my value for the mantle, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
