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

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
PRAYER: Lord, I ask for mercy in any area I have not reverenced and respected You. Baptize me with Your Fear, O Lord, In Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 4 October 2018 Devotional — A Lifting By Vision
by dailyd | Sep 14, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: The Place Of God’s Word In Faith Building
Scripture: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is the word of faith which we preach; Romans 10:8.
Thought For The Day: Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization
The Word of God has several ministries or assignments in the lives of people. Yesterday, we saw that the Word of God renews or renovates mentality.
Today, we shall look at yet another assignment of the Word of God:
The Word of God is a faith Builder.
The Word of God builds a person’s faith. The Word of God is sent as fuel for faith in the heart of man.
Now, the way a car is driven to the filling station for refuelling, is the same way a child of God should go to the Word-station to get the Word of God whether in personal Bible study or in a congregational service preaching.
It is important to know that there must be a constancy of intake of God’s Word in order to guarantee the building of solid faith. For example, a car needs fuel on a constant basis in order to move; you cannot say that because you fuelled your car last month, you don’t need to fuel it this month again.
If you do that, the car would be immobilized. The fuel of one month ago may not handle the journey of today. In the same way, you cannot assume that since you studied God’s Word yesterday, you would not have to study it today. If you do that, your journey of faith would be stagnated and arrested.
Beloved, I counsel you to study God’s Word always. Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization. Previous revelations must be irrigated by fresh light in order for faith to remain sharp.
Remember this: Revelation must experience re-visitation in order to have revitalization.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to keep your faith intact in God.
2. Feed your faith always with the Word of God.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the strong unquenchable appetite for Your Word. Give me the grace Lord to nourish my faith daily by studying Your Word in Jesus’ Name.

Topic: The Word of God and Mental Renovation
Scripture: Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business. But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. – Acts 6:3-4
Thought For The Day: A change of thoughts translates into a change of action and a change of action translates into a change of outcome.
There is a purpose for every Word of God. The Word of God has a well-defined assignment or ministry to fulfil on Earth. That is why God makes us to understand that the Word that proceeds from His Mouth has a definite purpose to fulfil (Isaiah 55:10-12). Therefore, it is very important to understand the assignment or ministry of the Word of God in the life of the Christians.
So, what is the ministry of the Word?
God’s Word renews or renovates mind-set
God sends His Word to renew or renovate the mind and thought patterns of man (Isaiah 55:8-9). This means that the Word of God is the container of the thoughts of God; the Word contains God’s ways of thinking. So, association with the Word of God is renovation of mentality. Every time we step into the Word of God, our mentality is sharpened, our mind-set begins to change, our ways of thinking begin to change and our thoughts are renewed and renovated.
You know, whenever thought changes, action changes; a change of thought equals a change of action and a change of action equals a change of outcome. So, continuous contact with the Word equals upgrade of mentality and upgrade of mentality equals upgrade of activity, and upgrade of activity equals upgrade of destiny.
Beloved, my counsel is, do not just read the Bible religiously, study it and let it change your mind-set.
Remember this: A change of thoughts translates into a change of action and a change of action translates into a change of outcome.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to study God’s Word diligently.
2. Allow God’s Word to renew and renovate your mind-set for a profitable and productive life and destiny.
Prayer: O Lord, I ask for the grace to study Your Word; Let Your Word renew and renovate my mind-set, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Seeds of Destiny 12 September 2018 – How to Maintain a Strong Faith
by dailyd | Sep 12, 2018 | Seed of Destiny
Topic: How to Maintain a Strong Faith [Seeds of Destiny 12 September 2018 Daily Devotional]
Scripture: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Thought For The Day: Your character determines your confidence; your conduct determines your courage.
In our previous studies, we saw the importance of faith in the life of a Christian; we saw that to be successful in life, faith is non-negotiable. We also saw how faith works; we saw that faith works by celebrating faith confirmations and also by maintaining faith associations.
Today, it is very important to continue our studies on how to maintain a strong faith.
1. By Engaging the Holy Spirit
God has not given us the spirit of fear but of love, boldness and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). The Holy Spirit is the sponsor of the audacity of faith. Praying in the Spirit is key to building your faith (Jude Verse 20).
2. By Maintaining Uprightness of Life
The wicked flee when no man pursues but the righteous are as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1); your character determines your confidence, your conduct determines your courage. You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide; integrity facilitates audacity, iniquity destroys audacity, and iniquity brings timidity.
3. By Refusing to put your Confidence in Man
If you want your faith to work, you must look away from man. The Bible says that they looked up to him and they were lightened, and their faces were not ashamed (Psalm 34:5). Jeremiah 17:5-7; makes us to understand that the one who looks unto man is cursed.
My counsel is, activate your faith by praying in the Holy Ghost, maintaining the life of righteousness and putting confidence in no man.
Remember this: Your character determines your confidence; your conduct determines your courage.
Assignments:
1. Make up your mind to activate a life of faith by praying in the Holy Ghost constantly.
2. Maintain an upright living and put confidence in no man.
Prayer: O LORD, I ask for the grace to pray in the Holy Ghost constantly and live an upright life. Help me not to put my confidence in man in order to develop a life of faith LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
