```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: 'AN ACTOR'.*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Hebrews  10:7  Then said I, Lo, I come (IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME,) TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.
John  8:29  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; FOR I DO ALWAYS THOSE THINGS THAT PLEASE HIM.

Everyone on earth today is an actor. Even Jesus himself said concerning Himself, I came to do your will as it is written of me, Jesus came and acted out everything that had been written concerning Him. Everything He did was according to what had been written about Him. HE didn't just came to the world and did as He wished but as it is written about Him.

Everything you are supposed to do and become is orderly written and documented in heaven. Life is a script written by God and you're the 'actor' but there is no way you can act that which has not been made known to you. 

 Also, everyone of us have our character and identity in the word of God. There is something and or someone in the Bible you're naturally meant to pattern your life after and there is something written about you in heaven. This is why you must pray today and ask God to unveil the script you are meant to act for you.

We all know that Jesus didn't came as a God but as a man, we saw how that nothing took Jesus by surprise whether good or bad He always kmows exactly what next would happen. He operated with such power and in perfect peace because he had heaven's script for His life and ministry. You too can dwell in such realm. Pray seriously today asking God to reveal the script He has ordained you to act in life. You're an actor/actress.

*Insights For Today: Until you know the truth that you're an actor, you are still lost and until the script you're meant to act is revealed to you, you have not truly started living because you have not started pleasing God until you start doing His will. His will for you is His script for you.*

*_Prayer: Ask God to open your eyes and heart to conceive, perceive and see today, ask Him what scripts He wants you to act. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: SMALL THINGS DESTROYS GREAT POTENTIALS.*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Proverbs  6:9 How long wilt thou sleep, O SLUGGARD(lazy)? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?
 6:10 *YET A LITTLE* sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
  6:11 So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.

Laziness may seem to be too small but it has the capacity to incapacitate any destiny. Nothing frustrates like the plague of laziness. One demon that accompany laziness is pride. Any where you find a lazy person, you find a proud person.

It is what people see as small things that brings down great destinies. Men/women who have fallen off track from the path of destiny often fell due to just one or seemingly small reason.

Some people may not like to do Some things but the moment they tried it small or once, they go down the destiny lane and off they went never to stand again.

Those addicted to drugs, sexual immorality, womanizing, lying, stealing, etc didn't just got addicted to it overnight, it started with just a small voice telling them "let me taste or try this even if it is just once, I won't do it twice" and by the time they did that thing once, they feel the urge to keep doing such things over and over again.

The good news is that you can still retrace your steps and recorrect that which you did but not without a scar. You will definitely have a scar for breaking the edge. Don't let any devil deceive you because the truth is that, 'You can't eat your cake and have it'.

*Insights For Today: Great potentials are often destroyed and buried by a single action or inaction. Flee all appearances of evil!*

*_Prayer: O Lord deliver me from this evil negative addiction today and give me the grace to stand in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: GRACES DIFFERS*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

John  12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
Matthew  10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

It is unwise to say every man is at the same level of grace because we are not all at the same level no matter how you see it and what you say. Out of seventy (70) men Jesus had, He still had 12 that were more closer to Him and even out of those 12, there were still 3 that were  much more closer to Him and these three men had access to more secrets than all the others. Was it because Jesus didn't love them? No. But that was His choice and you can never question God on certain men He has chosen to give ten talents to by comparing them with those He gave five and one talents to respectively.

 Some members or laity will have more grace given to them by God than some pastors. Its not about the calling, it is about the fruits and the impact you made with whatever He gave you.

*Insights For Today: God won't give you grace beyond what you can carry.*

*_Prayer: Dear Lord, help me put to use what I have been given faithfully in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: GET RID OF THEM (ROOT THEM UP)*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Matthew  15:13 But He answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up.

Every plant means every plant and not few plant. God said every plant which He has not planted shall be rooted up. He never said few but if you permit few then you can be very sure that those few will grow well.

Whatever you see manifesting in you that is not of God is a plant which has to be rooted up like anger, pride, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, malice, witchcraft, and all other things. All these things are capable of cutting your life short if you permit them.

Another very vital truth to note about this scripture is that, it is not God's will for these things to be resident in you nevertheless, you are the only one who can permit whatever you want in your life. If you don't disallow them, they will function in you with full force.

So many believers are struggling with several terrible habits and are blaming God, some are waiting for God to come and help them stop those things but they themselves have forgotten that, they never disallowed them, many are asking God to deliver them from things they really find pleasure in doing. Can two work together if they do not agree? As long as you keep on nourishing that habit, you can't expect it to go. It was Bishop Oyedepo that said "Whatever you don't want, you don't watch".

*Insights for Today: If you don't kill and bury the flesh, the flesh will not only kill you, it will bury your destiny. The process of rooting up is not a simple and easy process at all but it will save you from impending disaster.*

*_Declaration: I resist every activities of the flesh and I declare my deliverance over (.......mention them) by the blood of Jesus. I shall not be a victim anymore in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

VALUE FOR THE WORD ENHANCES IMPACT IN THIS WORLD

Monday         27th  August,  2018.

```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: VALUE FOR THE WORD ENHANCES IMPACT IN THIS WORLD*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Proverbs  4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Joshua  1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

"You need the WORD to change the world and not the world to change the world, stop trying to align yourself to the system of this world because real world changers are completely different and many a times may look absurd to the world.

If the world doesn't perceive you to be different from them, you sure can't make any tangible lasting impact amongst them. Men who ever change the world are men/women who were considered as fools or as being/sounding stupid.

It doesn't really matter who you are, anybody can make impact in life, the only difference is in what area. Some will chose to make good impact while others will stand in opposite direction but even when we speak about those who make good impacts, amongst them are those whose impact will forever remain on the soil of time. These men/women though physically dead are still very much alive.

The kind of impact that has remained so far on the surface of the earth and has refused to die were impact made by men and women who chose to value the WORD.

*Insight For Today: Your value for the WORD is what will enhance your worth and value in this WORD. You can't become outstanding in this world without a sense of utmost value for the WORD.*

*_Confession: From today, I commit myself to the constant daily study of the word and as I study the WORD and give myself wholly to doing what I found, my impact in this world will be felt indeed in JESUS name.. Keep walking by faith_*

TOPIC: KEYS TO ACCESSING DIVINE DIRECTION

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)



SUNDAY 26TH AUGUST,"2018



SCRIPTURE": The Lord says, "I will teach you the way you should go; I will instruct you and advise you. Don't be stupid like a horse or a mule, which must be controlled with a bit and bridle to make it submit." Psalm 32:8-9 (GNT)



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What you do not pursue,"you cannot possess.



Divine direction is non-negotiable in life if destiny must be fulfilled. Yesterday, we saw the impact of lack of direction on destiny. We saw that there can be no destiny without direction; where there is no direction, there must be disaster; where there is no direction there is minimal progress; where there is no direction, there can be no dominion, and where there is no direction, there is absolute frustration.



Having seen that no one on earth can fulfil destiny without direction, the question is, what are the keys to accessing Divine direction?

i) Value Divine Direction
What you do not value, you do not experience. Know that direction is crucial to your life. Know that you can be free from disaster and your destiny can open up by just one thing God will tell you (Proverbs 3":5-6).



ii) Pursue Divine Direction
Take days of fasting and praying at intervals; stay up in the night and ask God to speak to you in the language you can understand on issues of concern to you. What you do not pursue,"you cannot possess. Pursue Divine direction until God gives it to you.



iii) Comply with Divine Direction (Acts 13":2; Isaiah 30:29-30).
Anybody who has not done what God told him to do is not a candidate for more direction from God. Comply with what God has told you. Obey what God has said and comply with it (Mark 4:24).



Beloved,"my counsel is, value Divine direction and comply with what God has told you in order to receive more directions from God.



Remember this": What you do not pursue,"you cannot possess.



ASSIGNMENTS":
1. Place value on Divine Direction.
2. Pursue Divine Direction.
3. Comply with Divine Direction.



PRAYER: O Lord,"I ask for grace to value Your direction above every other thing and pursue it. I comply with the previous directions You have given me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: Faith and Praise/Worship*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Psalms  106:12 Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
 Romans  4:20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God

Another vital way of proving that you believe His word apart from declaring the word is that you express it with praise/thanksgiving. Praise also is a potent action that proofs and validates faith in God.

Abraham believed so much and all he did to confirm that was to keep on celebrating God. Things may not be as you want, you may have done all you know to do and yet all you know to do isn't yielding anything for you but praising God in such times proofs the validity and authenticity of your faith.

Abraham's condition shows mockery, pain and shame. People were busy calling him Abraham which means "father of nations" and I know multitude will be mocking him because he had no child physically and yet called himself Abraham. If Abraham can still praise God despite his predicament and situation, you too can still praise God no matter what you're going through.

*Insights For Today: When you express your faith by celebrating the faithfulness of God, you will definitely experience the Almightiness of God.*

*_Prayer: Father, help me to demonstrate such an unusual order of faith after the order of Abraham. Give me the grace Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

TOPIC: CONSEQUENCES OF LACK OF DIVINE DIRECTION

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)



SATURDAY 25TH AUGUST,"2018



SCRIPTURE": The LORD says, "I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Psalm 32:8 (NLT)



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is the voice of God that makes a person to be in charge in life.



The Scripture makes it clear that satan,"our enemy, moves about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5":8). His mission is to steal,"kill and destroy and make people not to fulfil their destiny. One way to resist the devil is to be conscious of the deadly enemies of destiny which are his ploys to wreck the destinies of God’s children.



Now, one of the deadly enemies of destiny is disregard for Divine direction. It is lack of regard for divine direction.

It is disaster for a person to live a normal life of waking up in the morning, going to work and coming back in the evening without maintaining contact with heaven.



Now, I will like you to take note of the following consequences of a lack of Divine direction":
i) There can be no destiny without direction
You cannot reach where you are meant to reach in life if you do not have a direction.



ii) Where there is no direction,"disaster is inevitable
In aviation accidents happen when the plane loses contact with the control tower. When bearing is lost, a crash is inevitable. If there is no contact between you and heaven, disaster is inevitable.



iii) Where there is no direction there is minimal progress
Where there is no direction, there must be stagnation or minimal progress. People do not leave where they are in life because they do not know what to do.



iv) Where there is no direction, there can be no dominion
The children of Issachar had understanding of the time to know what Israel ought to do, so, all their brethren were at their command (1 Chronicles 12":32). It is the voice of God that makes a person to be in charge in life.



v) Where there is no direction,"there is absolute frustration
The absence of direction equals the abundance of frustration; when a person does not know what to do, he is full of dissatisfaction and frustration



Beloved, my counsel is, refuse to live a life without direction.



Remember this": It is the voice of God that makes a person to be in charge in life.



ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Refuse to be limited in life for lack of direction.
2. Passionately ask God to direct you in all areas of life.



PRAYER: O Lord,"I refuse to be limited in life due to lack of direction. I ask that You give me directions in all areas of my life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: TAKING NO FOR AN ANSWER?*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

DON'T TAKE "NO" FOR AN ANSWER WHEN GOD HAS PROMISED YOU A "YES" IN HIS WORD

Luke  11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

God definitely has great plans for each and everyone of us but apart from God's plan we also have several desires and needs, we want something good and from our assessment we realized that those good desires were inline with God's plan for us but yet we seems to pray for those things without receiving them and this has led to so many heartaches and heaviness of heart.

It is therefore necessary to understand one great truth on how God operates, God works by faith and He does answers prayers but certain answers to prayers won't come until you persist.

For instance, A child that needs a particular biscuit from his Dad will not just ask for it once. He/she will not cease to ask until he/she gets the biscuit. God has good things in stock for us but He won't release some of them until we earnestly seek Him for it.

*Insights For Today: Persistency therefore is a major key that breaks the yoke of insufficiency. Never take "NO" for an answer when God has promised you a "YES" in HIS word. You will get it if you never cease to ask.*

*_Prayer: Almighty Father, I rely wholly on you, grant the desires of my heart today in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

ASK BELIEVING

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE


Matthew  21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

If God says all things then He means all things and if scriptures cannot be broken then you can have all things you ask in prayer believing.

You can't break the scriptures but you sure can break your believe system to believe the word in order to receive that which the word  says.

Now, the Bible says " And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, BELIEVING...." You are not asked to only believe once and for all because God knows certain things in life are not released immediately into your hands, so for you to see the manifestations of certain things, then you must keep believing. This is a present continuous tense 'believing'.

If only you will pray believing, then you can have just anything no matter what it is. The truth is that, even your unbelief can never make the word of none effect but it will only limit you from experiencing the mighty power of God.

*Insights For Today: Whatever you believe God for can be delivered unto you if only you will ask believing. Impossibilities only exist in the dictionary of men and not in the realm where God exist. ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.*

*_Prayer: Father, help me not to give up trusting you for the impossible. Lord, Please help my unbelief in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

*SEEDS OF DESTINY*

THURSDAY 23RD AUGUST 2018

 *THE LIFESTYLE OF INSINCERITY AND FALSEHOOD*

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

SCRIPTURE: A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies. Proverbs 14:5

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anyone who avoids the way of truth has embraced the way of bondage.

It has been established that the lifestyle of insincerity or falsehood is a deadly enemy of destiny. In 2 Samuel 1:6 – 16, there was a man who killed himself by telling lies. He ran to King David and told him that he was passing by and saw King Saul trying to kill himself, so, he helped to kill him and brought the crown for David. He brought this message to David because he thought that David would reward him because he killed David’s enemy. David, however, commanded that the man should be killed and he was killed instantly. Factually, the man did not kill Saul; Saul killed himself.  You see, the man brought untimely death upon himself by lying. Lies can lead to untimely death.

I would like you to take note of the following concerning falsehood:
i) The absence of truth is the absence of the Spirit of God
Anywhere the truth is absent, the Spirit of God is absent because the Bible said that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth (John 16:13).

ii) Existing in falsehood is attracting the activity of the enemy
Anybody who exists in falsehood exists in the company of the devil, the father of lies (John 8:44).

iii) There can be no triumph in life without truth
Freedom or triumph is tied to truth (John 8:32). Anyone who avoids the way of truth has embraced the way of bondage; a liar is a natural candidate for captivity.

iv) Truth guarantees longevity and lasting result
Truth guarantees longevity and lasting results but lies cut lives and destinies short (Proverbs 12:19). It does not matter how successful a fake man is, that success would not last. It does not matter how prosperous a deceitful person is, that prosperity has no future in this world and in the world to come.

Beloved, make up your mind to speak the truth always; avoid the way of falsehood.

Remember this: Anyone who avoids the way of truth has embraced the way of bondage.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Avoid the lifestyle of falsehood and insincerity.
2. Speak the truth always.

PRAYER: O Lord, I reject every spirit of lies and falsehood. I receive Your grace to be truthful always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: THE WORD - ACCURATELY PROPHETIC*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

2 Peter  1:19  We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

It is always easier to walk away but turning a page is always the best thing to do.

First, you must understand that, as a believer, God's word is the first, completelely accurate and valid prophecy that you can hold unto to which can never fail. So many people have received prophecies from certain men of God and are wondering greatly, some even got frustrated and turned their back against God having waited for so long because most of those prophecies never came to pass.

Every prophecies you received may fail but there is a prophecy you can receive today that can never fail. It has never been known to fail and it can never fail because it was tried seven times, not even the devil can make this prophecy fail but what then do you need to do?

1. Study the word: It is so unfortunate to know that many people don't give attention to the word again. Nothing else can tske the place of the word in the life of any man/woman. Irrespective of what you do and how you live, you will only end up frustrated keeping yourself away from the word that is a more sure word of prophecies.

2. Write down whatever you see from the word. No matter how big and impossible it may seem to be, go on and write it out.

3. Believe an confess it:  In mark 11:24, the word makes it very clear, whatever your desires may be, don't sit and watch but confess and believe that you have them and by so doing, you will surely have them.

4. Stand on that word till you see it manifest. Having done all, scriptures enjoins us to stand. Standing may be difficult but it is possible, it may be very demanding but certain answers can't be gotten except you keep standing on what you claim to believe in.

*Insights For Today: The impossible is God's opportunity to work a miracle. Whatever you believe God for, as long as you don't give it up, you will have it irrespective of how long it takes.*

*_Prayer: Father, I ask that you will help me trust you for the impossible because with you nothing is really difficult nor impossible. Thank you Lord for your help in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: FAVOUR - FIRST AND THE LAST*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Daniel  2:46  Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him.

 Have you ever heard that a king bowed down and worshipped a man and commanded that offerings or sacrifices should be made to such a man?
What happened was not that the king just kneeled down for Daniel or asked Daniel to pray for him, the king fell on the floor flat and worshipped Daniel. Such has never happened before and till tomorrow, none like this will happen.

Know that, not even our Lord and saviour enjoyed this kind of favour when He was in this world. Kings honoured Jesus when He was here bodily but none did unto Him as that king did unto Daniel.

This is the kind of honour Daniel a servant of God enjoyed. God gave him such honour and it was the first and the last.

*Insights For Today: Being a servant of God makes you enjoy strange order of honour and favour. If you want true honour submit yourself to serving God.*

Vision and Speed

```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: YOUR VISION AND YOUR SPEED*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Habakkuk  2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

Running is not the same with walking and running in this verse connotes higher speed.

Jeremiah  1:11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
1:12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will *HASTEN* my WORD to perform it.

Even for you to get speedy manifestation of prophecies, you must still see well.
This is why to be visionless is to be frustrated and stagnated in life and destiny.

 If vision is this important, what then is vision?

★ Vision is insight into the spirit realm (world). This could be seeing either God, angels, God's dwelling, human influenced spirits, the devils, his agents and so on. This could be in dreams, open/closed visions (revelations). Any glimpse you have at all into the spirit world is known as vision.
Those with the apostolic, prophetic mantle and those with the gift of discerning of Spirits will always have visions.

★ Vision is having the ability to foresee and predict the outcome of a matter or person from the word of God based on how close you have walked with God. Some people don't have the manifestation of the gift of discerning of spirits but can discern what God would do by simply aligning there hearts to pick pictures from the word. This people also do get amazing and extraordinary results. Anybody can have this as long as you're willing to walk with God. Those who walk in authority have this operational in them with the gift of special faith (1Cor 12:9).

★ Vision can also be defined as catching a picture of your desired future from the scripture. The word of God lives forever more and has been tried, no matter what you do against the word, it can NEVER fail and everything you see in it that you choose to believe can become yours.

Note: Every single person on the surface of the earth does have vision whether they are born again or not. What differentiate us is the kind of things each and everyone of us sees.

*Insights for today: What you see determines the outcome of your life, how well you see it will determine how fast you will experience it.*

*_Prayer: Father, help me to see what you want me to see well. By the blood of Jesus, i break every veil of darkness covering my eyes from seeing that which the Lord is showing me today in Jesus name._*

THE TRAP (LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND FEAR) Pt. 3

Monday         20TH  AUGUST,  2018.

```DESTINY DISCOVERY AND MOLDING MESSAGE```
♦ *TOPIC: THE TRAP (LACK OF KNOWLEDGE AND FEAR) Part 3.*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Job3:25  For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Vs 26 *I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.*

God's covering and protection was so thick and impregnable upon Job but yet he had no clue about it. The devil knew that Job was untouchable but yet Job didn't know.

Pray this prayer Now:  "Lord, open my eyes to see how close you are to me and how secured I am in you. Break this veil of darkness and ignorance surrounding every area of my life, family and destiny now in Jesus name. Amen".

God was with Job, he was so protected that even the devil was testifying before God of how He has blessed and guided him but yet Job didn't know a thing about his security and peace. This is exactly what is happening to many believers today, God is strongly with them but they don't even know.

Even the devils knows too much of how great and secured you are but do you know it?  Do you now see why God said my people ARE NOT destroyed for availability of the devils but due to the unavailability of knowledge (Hosea 4:6) and also prov 29:18 said without vision, the people perish not due to how many devils are available. Who is blind but my people (Isa 42:19).

Job confirmed with his own mouth that he had no rest, he was afraid of losing all he had and that he was not at rest before all those evil befell him.

*INSIGHTS FOR TODAY: Your negative thoughts and talks are what the enemy uses to breed fear in you. He has nothing to use until you start thinking and saying negative words. To have a bad thought and bad mouth is to have multiple afflictions. You will see proofs in this latter parts of this year but guard your mouth or else you will destroy your harvest.*

*_Personal Declarations: I am born of God and I have the mind of God therefore, every of my thoughts and talks from henceforth shall be guided by the Lord. I speak life and glory into my life and I declare that shame and reproach shall be far from me in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

HOW LONG AND WHY LORD? (IT IS ONLY BUT FOR A MOMENT).

*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

2 Corinthians  4:17  For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.
Galatians  6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

How long will evil keep prevailing or having upper hand in my life, family and all around me?
For how long will I have to keep fighting the same battles and yet without victory?
For how long will I keep trying and trying without anything tangible to show forth?
For how long will I keep praying and praying and yet it seems the more I pray, the further away I get from the testimonies and the realities of what I am asking for?

For how long o thou faithful judge of heaven and the earth who ruleth in the kingdom of men rise up and judge my adversaries?

What am I doing wrong o Lord? For how long do I have to wait going through these trials even when I know I have been faithful in my own little way?

These and more are the questions boiling in the hearts of many believers today, some have asked and asked also but the more they ask, the more confused they get because they never really got any answer that truly answers their questions.

I don't have answers either but I am certain of these two things:

1. God really does answers questions if you will humbly ask and if you won't give up asking Him (Jer 33:3; Luke 11:8;18:3-8).
2. You will go through unpleasant moments no matter how righteous you are but it is only for a moment (2Cor 4:17)

*Insights For Today: whatever you're going through at this moment is only for a moment. It will never exceed a while or a moment. "NO SITUATION LAST FOREVER (NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT)"*

*_PRAYER: Father, show up in my situation today and help me. Give me rest from these trials (mention them) in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: THE TRAP (FEAR) Pt. 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Job3:25  For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Vs 26 *I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.*

Job said, the thing i feared has finally happened. He said, I was not in safety, I had no rest, I was quiet but yet trouble came.

Most often than none, believers are victims of what they are afraid of. Job had prosperity, even God's protection and security was strongly with him but yet he didn't know and he became a victim of his own ignorance and thoughts.

He was afraid of losing his wealth so he lost it, he was afraid of losing his rest so he lost it, he was afraid of losing his family, so he lost it. *NEVER BE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU DON'T WANT TO LOSE.*

If you're afraid of losing your job, your marriage, your contracts, businesse proposals, etc you'll definitely lose them.
*THE FEAR OF FAILURE HAD MADE MANY FAIL EVEN BEFORE THEY PHYSICALLY FAILED.*

The devil had no power over Job until he permitted fear to ruin him.
The scriptures says "whatever is not of faith is a sin" and the presence of fear is the absence of faith.

When fear is present, iniquity is present and the more the fear, the more the iniquities and the presence of iniquities has nothing good to offer you other than multiple adversities.

Get this revelation into your spirit man, feed on this word over and over again and let faith arise in you. May you never be a victim again. Amen.

*_Personal Declaration: I am born of God who is a Spirit so I am a spirit, I am born of God who is absolutely fearless, I am born of God who is the God of all flesh so I am a god over all and therefore, I rebuke every spirit of fear oppressing and tormenting my life, family and destiny in Jesus name..  Keep walking by faith*

FAITHFULNESS (THE PAY OF FAITHFULNESS) Pt. 3

BY:  JUDAH OLATUNDE

Galatians  6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
Hebrews  6:12  That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

Faithfulness pays a lot but the pay doesn't just seem to come on time. In fact, a man/woman who is faithful to God at certain times and seasons under certain conditions will always be considered as fools, lazy or unproductive based on the evaluation of men and this is not because they are not doing anything but because what they seem to do at such a time and season lack proofs.

At such times, you may even be trying to defend the cause of Christ or that you're standing despite distractions that wants you to compromise your faith in God.

When Joseph demonstrated his love and faithfulness to God by deciding not to accept an offer that was pleasurable but sinful, what happened to him at that moment was worse than if he had actually compromised and accepted the offer but at the end of it all, after he had waited on HIM who NEVER lies, He obtained the promises.

The pay or gain of faithfulness to God either in service, actions, or lifestyle is not always instantaneous, it usually takes time.

This is the reason God encouraged us in His word to be patient and thus we need both faith and patience to inherit the promises. (Heb.

*Insights For Today: Joseph's action looked foolish at the moment but the outcome showed that God will NEVER fail the faithful*

*_Prayer point: Dear Lord, I ask for your help this day. Please, help me to demonstrate an unusual level of faithfulness in you in all things in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: THE TRAP (FEAR)*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Job3:25  For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Vs 26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

One of the most powerful weapon of the enemy which he had successfully used to capture and bound many believers is FEAR. This has crept into the lives of many through worrying.

The scriptures has confirmed without number that, the enemy has no power but despite the fact and truth that the devil has no power, he has successfully trapped and incapacitated many of God's own children due to fear.

Until  you give in to worrying, you will never doubt and until you give in to doubt, it is impossible to fear. This means any time you noticed you are afraid of something, it is a clear proof that you have permitted doubt to come into you.

Every power in heaven and on earth belongs to God and God has given you a great portion of that power after HE took it from the devil. The problem therefore is not the availability of the devils but the unavailability of knowledge (Hosea 4:6).

In the remaining months to end this year, in other for you to see the performance of the word of God, you must let every trace of worrying die completely. Let every trace of fear in you be laid to rest because God has not given you the spirit of fear but of power, love and sound mind.

If you hold unto all the defeats and woes of the previous years and months, you will never see the hand of God that will cause you to experience laughter this year. Let go of every fear and lay hold on what He has for you this year. And create time thinking about His words for your life. You will never fall into the trap of the devil any more. Amen

*Insights For Today: Fear is like an armed robber which stands on the road and camouflage himself in a military uniform called worrying, when you don't realize that on time, you would have been a casualty, robbed of your possessions and even beaten up before you know what's happening. Disallow worry to disarm the devil.*

*_Declaration: Every root of fear in me, I command you rooted out and dry up, I shall never be a  victim of worries anymore in Jesus name..._*

♦ *TOPIC: FAITHFULNESS (THE LIFE OF JOSEPH) Pt. 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Hebrews  3:2 WHO WAS FAITHFUL TO HIM THAT APPOINTED HIM, AS ALSO MOSES WAS FAITHFUL in all his house.

3:5 AND MOSES VERILY WAS FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS HOUSE, AS A SERVANT, FOR A TESTIMONY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TO BE SPOKEN AFTER.

Genesis  39:9  There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: HOW THEN CAN I DO THIS GREAT WICKEDNESS, AND SIN AGAINST GOD?

We saw the example of Moses and Jesus Christ our Lord in the first part and we also saw how God honoured Moses to the point where his faithfulness was compared to that of our Lord but today, we shall consider the life of Joseph.

JOSEPH: He was another man who demonstrated his faithfulness to God in an unbelievable manner. In the midst of what multitude of people of our time will call open door and honour, Joseph rejected it and stood his ground against such.

Many men and women will consider the option of gaining wealth and possession at the expense of their relationship and love for God but this young boy called Joseph stood his ground and refused to compromise and fall into sin choosing to suffer rather than enjoy the pleasure of sin for a moment and no wonder, God decorated him with such an honour and favour that no mortal man who lived before him has ever enjoyed neither after him.

Resisting sin is a demonstration of obedience and faithfulness to the word of God.

We fail to learn a great truth from the story of Joseph. The kind of honour and favour he got was such a one that has never been heard before and till today such has never reoccurred. I call it, "the first and the last order of favour and honour".

*Insights For Today: Faithfulness to God causes you to enjoy the flow of abundance. You can't be faithful to God and die a pauper and in dishonour/disfavour.*

*_Prayer Point: Father, help me and baptise me with the grace to remain faithful to you in everything and at every time and as I remain faithful like Joseph in my walk with you, give me an honour that is uncommon in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Genesis  13:14 "...Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward
 13:15 For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever.

It is confirmed from scriptures that you can't feature in a future you never pictured. You can't arrive at a tomorrow you have no clue about.

You can't become something if you saw nothing. Well, seeing nothing is a confirmation of becoming nothing.

Your vision determines your destination. You can't have it in mind to be going to Lagos and end in Jos, the reason is because even the destination you have in mind will determine your steps and the transportation bookings you will make.

To have the best out of the remaining few months to end 2018, you must see something happening to you in a great way. God has ordained this year to deliver your own testimonies, don't let your faith waver thereby causing you to have a carry over into next year, trust in Him and see the best happening to you before the year is over. You shall surely testify!

*Insights For Today: God told Jeremiah, I am showing you something and because you saw it well,  then I will hasten my word to perform it. In other words, if you didn't see well, you can't see the performance of the word.*

♦ *TOPIC: FAITHFULNESS*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Hebrews  3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
3:2 WHO WAS FAITHFUL TO HIM THAT APPOINTED HIM, AS ALSO MOSES WAS FAITHFUL in all his house.
3:3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who hath builded the house hath more honour than the house.
3:5 AND MOSES VERILY WAS FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS HOUSE, AS A SERVANT, FOR A TESTIMONY OF THOSE THINGS WHICH WERE TO BE SPOKEN AFTER.

Moses was so much honoured by God that God Himself had to compare his faithfulness that of our Lord Jesus.

Moses was exalted to that level where God had to make reference to it and even went on to ask us to be faithful like Jesus even as Moses was. This goes to say that, it is possible to be absolutely faithful to God.

Jesus demonstrated His faithfulness by doing all the Father bids Him. We shall be looking at what faithfulness is and what we stand to get when we are faithful.

What then is faithfulness?
★ Faithfulness is being told to do something and doing it right and well with little or  no supervision.

★ Faithfulness is walking in absolute obedience to the word of God whether someone is there or not.

★ Faithfulness is not relenting in doing what is right even in the midst of a severe, tempting or adverse situation.

★ Faithfulness also means diligence or absolute and unwavering commitment to the cause of Christ.

Few benefits of faithfulness unto God and the cause of His kingdom:
★ Change of story: If you're faithful to God, it is only in a matter of time because your story and live can never be the same. God will so much change your story to the point where if you're not careful you will naturally become proud thinking you've gotten that through the labour of your hands.

★ Great honour: Moses name has remained on the sand of time from generations to generations because he demonstrated faithfulness unto God.

★ Access to the Anointing: God anoints you with oil to confirm your faithfulness to Him. You can't be a faithful child of God and yet lack the anointing of God.

*Insights For Today: Faithfulness to God causes you to enjoy the flow of abundance. You can't be faithful to God and die a pauper.*

*_Prayer Point: Father, help me and give me the grace to be faithful to you in everything and as I engage the force of faithfulness in my walk with you, change my story Lord in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: THE UNANSWERED QUESTION*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Matthew  16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

We have never been able to correctly answer the questions God throw at us in certain scriptures and this is not because we don't want to answer the questions but because we don't really give much attention to considering the weightiness of those questions and the impact they have on our lives and destiny. One of such question was the one our Lord asked in Matthew 16:26. Here, Jesus was asking for that which we shall truly benefit if we gain the whole world at the expense of our life.

Many of us have only answered this question verbally saying "Nothing" but our heart and our actions betray us. This is why this question even though verbally answered has never been truly answered because our heart and actions betray us.

This can be likened to as when a child goes for a night vigil together with his parents and was suddenly fell asleep after hearing the topic of the message, he was asleep all through the preaching but returning home now,  the father asked him, "were you blessed by that powerful message?" The young boy answered "yes sir, the pastor preached about Faithfulness and upright living".
The father was excited that his son was awake during the sermon but yet the response of the son showed that he was awake when he wasn't awake. If he had said the truth, the father would have talked to him about what was preached but his father being convinced that he heard the preaching never bothered to talk about it any more.

What multitude of us are doing is just as what that young boy did and said to his father, the only difference is that after lying, we think we can blackmail God, but can we really pretend or blackmail the God who sees even in secret? Can we really and genuinely answer the question of our Lord in Matthew 16:26?

This has been the unanswered question. What indeed can we gain that will equal to the price and value of our soul?

Ask a dead billionaire or millionaire, "How much he left in this world?" He will tell you he left everything and that's because not even money is enough to value for the price of a man's soul. Many have lost their lives and destinies just in the quest for making the money they won't take to eternity.

Beloved, everything in this world, whether the things you have or the things you don't have, none of them can equal to the value and preciousness of your soul. Where will you spend your eternity after spending few of your years on the sand of time?

Some sell their soul for a few hours' guilty pleasure!

Some sell their soul for a political office!

Some sell their soul for filthy lucre!

Some sell their soul for honor which fades in a day.

Some others are selling their souls also in many other ways for pitiable trifles Like Esau, they are bartering their heavenly birthright for a bowl of stew!

What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

♦ *TOPIC: Relationship Wisdom Wisdom Keys) Pt. 4*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Colossians  3:16  LET THE WORD OF CHRIST DWELL IN YOU RICHLY IN ALL WISDOM; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

We saw some wisdom keys yesterday and we shall yet be considering some other wisdom keys today:

★ NEVER AVOID WARNING SIGNALS: Courtship has been designed to make you know whom you are getting married to but the opposite is the case.

The kind of knowing people in courtship know now is the kind that involves sex and this kind always hides so many wrongs and errors in the dark. As long as you're engaging in premarital sex, it is impossible for your eyes to be open to see the true state and nature of that person.

 Multitude has entered trouble just because they refused to watch, know and learn in courtship. Some women/men saw the partner they were getting married to addicted to some negative things like excessive anger, uncontrollable urge for sex, uncontrollable temper, pornography, drinking, smoking and all manner of stuffs and yet they ignored these signs and went ahead to marry such men only to discover that they could not handle the outcome.

★ VALUE FOR THE WORD AND PRAYER: Never marry a man or woman who has little or no value for the word of God and prayer. Run for your life and destiny. A man who does not value the word will never value you no matter how hard you try to please him. I've heard ordeals of women who have been victims of this.

The problem is that, many women who have been victims always saw these in their partner during courtship but yet went on to marry such a fellow only to face the repercussions in marriage.

★ DEAL WITH THE DIFFERENCES: Until you're able to balance up your differences in courtship, you can't succeed in marriage. Don't wait till after your wedding before you know what your differences are and blend.

★ DEAL WITH PRAYERLESSNESS: Any relationship not built on prayer will definitely not see the light of the day neither will such a relationship have a glorious ending. If prayer is not strong in courtship, prayer can't definitely be strong in marriage and once it is like this, that home will be a perpetual victim of frustration and tragedy.

*Insights For Today: Your foundation matters because if you're building on rubbles, you're heading for troubles.*

*_Prayers: Father, help me to put to work all that I have learnt in Jesus name. Keep Keep by faith_*

Today's SOD - 2018-08-10
TOPIC: THE CURE FOR DEPRESSION

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

FRIDAY 10TH AUGUST,"2018

SCRIPTURE": To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion,"to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. Isaiah 61":3

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Living in one room apartment with joy is better than living in a duplex with depression.

Depression is a long-term state of mind characterised with extreme unhappiness and inability to visualize a happy future. It is a powerfully negative mood that interferes with daily life. Depression is more than sadness. Depressed people feel sad,"empty, despondent, disinterested and lethargic. That shall never be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Depression is a major destroyer of life and destiny. It is a major sponsor of oppression. Depression opens the door for oppression because satan is at work where depression is. Depression is doorway to the destruction of destiny. People commit suicide not when they are excited but when they are depressed.

Depression also frustrates discretion; it affects reasoning. Whenever a man is depressed, his reasoning pathways are blocked. He lacks the capacity to find solution; he is too depressed to think about a way out because depression blocks the mind.

Having seen the dangers of depression, what then is the cure for depression?

1. Fight depression
Fight the spirit of heaviness; fight depression (Isaiah 61":3).Refuse to be depressed despite the prevailing circumstance. Let God’s Word fuel your joy – Jeremiah 15:16.

2. Rejoice in the Lord
Rejoice when the devil wants you to cry; sing when he wants you to mourn and dance when he wants you to lie down. Do the opposite of what the devil wants from you,"and he will run mad (Philippians 4":4).

3. Watch your environment
If you do not want to be depressed,"watch your environment. There are depression-provoking pictures you should avoid and houses you may have to move out from in order to maintain your joy in the Lord. Living in a room apartment with joy is better than living in a duplex with depression.

Beloved, you must guard your joy with jealousy; avoid depression.

Remember this": Living in one room apartment with joy is better than living in a duplex with depression.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Disengage from depressive people and environment.
1. Fight the spirit of heaviness
2. Choose to rejoice in the Lord always.

PRAYER: O Lord,"I reject the spirit of heaviness. I ask for the grace to maintain my joy always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: Relationship Wisdom (Wisdom Keys) Pt. 3*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

2 Corinthians  6:14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
Deuteronomy  30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Today, we shall be considering these few wisdom keys which will aid us in all that pertains to relationships:

Marriage is a good thing but what is meant to be a good thing as turned to the worst day and nightmare for many. Many are married and they are wishing they never got married at all because they married the wrong partner. YOUR CHOICE IN LIFE IS YOUR LOT AND POSSESSION IN LIFE.

★ Marrying an unbeliever as a believer is likened to blindness and madness. Unbeliever is never an option no matter how rich or poor he/she is. There are women who still keep asking foolish questions like "why can't I marry an unbeliever since I can still change him?"

Not everyone who has a Christian name is a believer. A believer is someone who has given his/her life to Christ, if the person you're considering is not born again, no matter who he/she is, just call it a quit and walk away.

★ Accept whom God chooses and not spiritual gifts: So many women have fallen victim of this, they lust after gifts and entirely puts God at the back side. They now go on to ask God if such a man is the right choice after they have drawn their own conclusions and already made plans for marriage.
If you fall for gifts, you'll fall into a ditch and may end your life in struggles, pains and probably heartbreak.

★ I will and I do: There is a complete difference between "I will and I do" and thus, proper caution must be taken. Multitude who are suffering in marriages today are those who took "I will as I do". Don't be a victim. When you say I will marry you and after sometimes, you discover that you can't cope with the characters you're seeing in him/her, call it a quit without much ado and delay.

Understand that, God Himself can still change His mind concerning any choice at all and for this reason, we ought to stay connected to the voice of the Lord. Some enter trouble after hearing God once, they failed to align themselves and keep hearing and thus, they never knew when God has made a new choice and wants to redirect them. Samuel anointed Saul because God chose him but Prophet Samuel was also in alignment or else he wouldn't have know when God rejected Saul and selected David.

*Insights For Today: It is better to wait than to consider an option which is not approved of God. Don't be too foolish to disconnect yourself from the voice of God, keep your connections intact.*

*_Prayer Point: Father, I ask for your help today. Please guide me in all things including my relationship in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: Relationship Wisdom (Wisdom) Pt. 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Romans  5:5 "...because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us".
James  1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

From the first part, it was established that 'Making God first is the major secret to having a good relationship with others'. You can't have a buoyant relationship with a man/woman if you don't have the love of God flowing in and through you.

Today, we shall be looking at the need for wisdom. Wisdom must also be in place apart from you loving God. I want you to know that, it is possible to love God and yet fall into the wrong hand or fail in marriage. This is NOT because your love for God was not genuine but because you never really take heed to other ingredients needed.

Love is the greatest of all commandments but love alone can't function if other things are not in place. For instance, as important as salt/Maggi is, it is not enough to cook a sweet stew. Using salt/Maggi only can never give you a perfect and tasty soup. Other ingredients has to be in place in order to make that equation a balanced one.

So many people truly love God but they still lack wisdom. Someone is thinking, "how can I love God and yet lack wisdom?".

Exodus  6:3  And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Abraham was referred to as a friend of God but yet, we saw that what Abraham knew about God was minimal compared to what Moses knew about God. God Himself said, "by my name JEHOVAH was I not made known to Abraham". But how come Abraham never knew that? The reason was not because Abraham wasn't a genuine friend and lover but because he wasn't hungry and inquisitive to know more as Moses. Moses was a very hungry man and thus was able to see and know what Abraham whom God gave a testimony about that he was a very close friend of God.

This was why Apostle James said, "if any man lack wisdom, let him ask". That statement wasn't given to the entire world but unto the believers. You must ask and it shall be given to you.

Another thing we must also take note of is that, it is not enough to just say "Father, give me wisdom". We must also be specific in order to get maximum result from making certain request unto the Lord.
Haven't you seen people who have billions and yet are complete failures in marriage and other things? Haven't you seen men who have enough strength to work and are not employed because they don't have the skill in doing the work? Haven't you seen anointed men fail in marriages? Is it because they didn't carry God? Was it because they were not successful in other areas of life?

It is worthy of note to know that, the wisdom to make money is not the same with that of the one you will need to have success in your home and relationship, the wisdom to build the ministry God has committed into your hands is not the same with that one which will make you succeed in home and so on. Therefore, you must be specific in your request for wisdom. We shall look at some wisdom keys tomorrow.

*Insights For Today: Only those who ask questions deserves answers and to get certain answers, you must be specific in your questions.*

*_Prayer Point: Ask for the wisdom to make the right choices if you're a single and if you're engaged or married, ask for the wisdom to keep and build your home.. Keep walking by faith_*

★ *TODAY'S INSTRUCTION:  Thank God for all He has given you and thank Him in anticipation of what He will yet do unto you (1 hour).

Romans  5:5 "...because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us".

Multitude have been frustrated and dejected because they lost someone close to them or they were dumped or jilted by someone. There were cases where some people ended up killing themselves or killing someone else just because they lost someone. Is this God's will? No! Let's consider these insights so we can learn and repent where necessary:

_ The best person to be in a deep relationship with is the Holy Spirit.

_ When you get too intoxicated in your relationship with the Holy Spirit, you will have a genuine love but you may not see the need for any other relationship except He commands you to.

_ When a woman becomes loose/free with every man, her future becomes bleak and her-self becomes a vessel unto unrighteousness but when a man becomes loose/free with every woman, he loses his mind and strength, first in the Spirit and then in the physical realm.

_ When you become intoxicated by your love with the Holy Ghost, no man/woman that walks out of your life will leave you with a single worry or unnecessary tears.

Most people just think, it was an emotional love God had before sending Jesus to die. That's not true. Divine love intoxicates and burns like literal fire and it has no respect for feelings.

Someone may ask "is it possible for a mortal man to have such a love?" My answer is this, what kind of love was at work in Abraham when God told him to kill his only son? do you think he was mad? If many in this generation receive some kinds of instruction from God, they will begin to bind and loose.
"Abraham, what happened to your feelings that you can't even tell the mother of the child what God told you to do with the child?"

It was that same love that burned in the heart of David, Daniel and Paul, etc. These men didn't fear death because they loved God too much.

 And I want you to know that if back then Abraham could have such a kind of love for God, under grace we should be able to manifest greater dimension of Love.

_ Whatever you can't give up for God is still first in your life. But you can't make God first and He won't make you first.

 These are hard truths but you don't need to condemn yourself no matter the level you are, YOU CAN GROW! HALLELUJAH!

*_Prayer Point: Ask for the fresh baptism of the Spirit of Love and make up your mind to seek God as long as you live.. Keep walking by faith_*

TOPIC: THE MAINTENANCE OF QUALITY SPIRITUALITY – ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

WEDNESDAY 8TH AUGUST,"2018

SCRIPTURE": But seek ye first the kingdom of God,"and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6":33

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Until your spiritual life is in order,"your natural life is out of order.

Today, we want to look at yet another very important thing in life which is, the maintenance of quality spirituality.

It has been confirmed that the quality of your spirituality determines the quality of your destiny. Until your spiritual life is in order, your natural life is out of order. The real needs of man are spiritual needs, and until spiritual needs are met, physical needs are not met.

Beloved, you have not succeeded in life until you have succeeded with God. For instance, as a medical student, if you have distinction in an elective course like General Studies (GS) but fail your core courses like Human Anatomy and Biochemistry; you have not excelled at all in what will make you a doctor. This is how life is, when your spirituality is neglected, even if you have money, fame, political influence, or have travelled round the world, you have not succeeded; you have only succeeded in putting the first thing last and the last things first. You have not excelled at all if you have not excelled in maintaining quality spirituality. That shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Majoring in the minor and minoring in the major; that is how most people live their lives. Some people are physically good looking and robust on the outside but ugly and thin in the spirit. This is not correct.

Beloved, my counsel is, develop a quality relationship with God because if your spiritual life is not working, you are in a state of emergency. Life is all about developing quality relationship with your Creator.

Remember this": Until your spiritual life is in order,"your natural life is out of order.

ASSIGNMENTS":
1. Decide to give priority attention to your spirituality
2. Endeavour to succeed with God before you succeed with men and in the things of life.
3. Develop the discipline of consistent prayer life and study of the Word.

PRAYER: O Lord,"give me the grace to maintain a quality relationship with You. Help me not to succeed in other things in life at the expense of my quality relationship with You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: MAD AT HIM? (OFFENDED IN HIM?) Part 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Luke  7:23  And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me. (Also read 1Kings 19:9-18).

Being mad at God is not just what happens only among the laity for this could happen to just anybody. Yesterday we saw the example of John the Baptist but today we shall be looking at the life of Elijah.

Those who give up on God didn't just wake up one day and decided to turn their back on God, no devil in hell can cause any man to give up on God overnight. It is something that happens gradually and then suddenly grows to reach a point where such a person can't carry on and then, that person calls it a quit.

Elijah was the only man whom God anointed so much that the level of his anointing caused heaven to send down fire. Calling down fire is a manifestation of the gift of special faith. And in this manifestation, only God does the work without the input of man, this is as a result of authority vested upon that man by God Himself, but yet we saw how that the enemy struck him and he started complaining.

How could a man who called down fire from heaven suddenly run into hiding and started grumbling and complaining? These are the things that when they happen consistently in your life shows the sign that if you are not careful enough, you may end up turning your back against God because Elijah came to a point where he saw himself as the only righteous man who was facing troubles.

If Elijah despite his anointing was attacked, anybody else can too and this is why we shall be looking at some things that must be in place in order not to fall victim.

★ Consistency in the place of Prayer. Consistency in the place of prayer will give you access to the voice of God like Elijah. If he had no prayer altar, he would have been wearied to a point where he wouldn't be able to hear from God again.
★ Consistent study of the word. Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out (Prov. 26:20). When your fire is low, you can easily be a victim but the scripture shows us that when wood is available, the fire must keep burning.
The absence of the word is what leads to the doubtfulness and the grumbling of men. And to be satisfied with complacency is to be pushed out of the path of destiny through challenges.

★ Never be too quick to draw certain conclusions no matter the pressure, i.e BE STILL! (Ps. 46:10)

*_Prayer: Almighty Father, help me to keep my watch in prayer and give me the grace of consistency with the study of your word, increase my hunger for you Lord in Jesus name.. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: MAD AT HIM? (OFFENDED IN HIM?) Part 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Luke  7:23  And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Many times we really do get mad at God, we do mostly because of what we go through, the trials, challenges, the several expectations that we have that have not been met, the several questions life trials posed at us that have not received answers, and the intensity of battles we tend to fight on the way to our promised land. We get mad while wondering and asking "why should this happen to me as a Christian?".

 Just like the children of Israel, some of us even got angry and say certain unpleasant words at God in such situations and some others just back out and drop the matter of Christianity, some didn't back out of Christianity entirely but thry left church never to return again. Are you mad at Him?

I've met certain people who left church due to their anger against God. Some of them don't even want to hear anything about God, they just wanted to be left alone.
The story of one was the brother I met while waiting for someone's at a park, this brother was a firebrand and was even in the choir but got offended in Him and left church never to return their again. He was glad I did met him and redirected him and so many others are like him. I thank God he left but was still ready to listen to talks about God while I've met someone else who never wanted to hear anything that has to do with God.

John the Baptist got angry too when he put himself into trouble by standing in the office that was not meant for him, he entered trouble when he began to involve himself in palace matters that didn't concern him.

Jesus is asking today, are you offended in me?

*Insights For Today: are you offended in Him because you are going through unpleasant seasons? Indeed you will go through trials and intense troubles not because you have sinned or because you're a sinner but for His namesake. He Himself being our Lord learnt obedience through the things He suffered*.

*_Prayer:  Father, I ask for the grace to remain standing in you and not to get offended in you irrespective of all that I go through for your namesake in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

SEEDS OF DESTINY

DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE

MONDAY 6TH AUGUST, 2018

TOPIC: THE NECESSITY OF THE LIFE OF IMPACT

SCRIPTURE: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You can reach anywhere in life if you can help others reach where they are going.

In life, it is crucial to know the things that matter and do them. Identifying the most important things in life and doing them is key to success and greatness in life.

Now, it is important to add that one important thing that matters in life is living a life of impact on others. Living a life of impact on others implies loving and investing in people. I would like you to know that your impact is superior to your income; making a difference is better than making a living.

It takes love to impact people; let people, even strangers, feel the impact of your life. Sometime ago, a young man sent me a recharge card and I was deeply touched by his sacrificial conduct. He just graduated from school and decided to work in a barbershop. They pay him just about Four Thousand Naira in a month and when he was paid, he sent a recharge card to me out of the Four Thousand Naira, and I was touched, so, I sent for him. When I was through seeing him, I told my wife that we should open a well-equipped barbershop for him so he could start from there. The truth is I had never met him before that time.

Beloved, you cannot love without giving. My counsel is, live a life of impact; make life better for others today by loving and helping them.

Remember this: You can reach anywhere in life if you can help others reach where they are going.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Show an act of love and kindness to people around you and even strangers.
2. Be interested in lifting people to greater heights in life.

PRAYER: O Lord, help me to discover the reason I am alive. I receive the grace to be a person of perpetual impact, relevance and exploits, in Jesus’ Name.

♦ *TOPIC: GOD ALWAYS SEES ACTION AS FAITH*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Mark  2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
  2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.

It is generally said that action speaks louder than words. This is very true and was manifestly seen in the lives of this men. The men with the paralytic friend didn't say a word, all they had to do was put up an action that said everything they needed to say. And thus when Jesus saw the action, He responded just as though they had been speaking and explaining the man's predicament.

Beloved, certain cries are not needed, certain actions are what is needed to provoke certain changes. The Lord didn't wait for those guys to say one word before He began to speak and address that man's situation.

Action speaks louder than voice, it is my prayer that the Lord will help you discover that action that you will put up that will cause the Lord to speak into your situation.

After Jesus saw that action, He needed no words because every words they should have spoken was said through that singular action.

Beloved, your believe can produce the change you desire if only you will put up an action that is in line with your believe.


*_Prayer:  Father, I ask for your help to discover the right action to put of so I may get my desired turn around in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: TOO LOST TO BE FOUND Pt. 2*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Revelation  3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

If that which you have can't be lost, God won't ask you to hold it fast less you lose it. If your position or that which belongs to you can't be given to another, God would never have said, "...hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown".
But the problem is just as what God has described in His word about the last days, 2 Timothy  4:3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; BUT AFTER THEIR OWN LUSTS SHALL THEY HEAP TO THEMSELVES TEACHERS, HAVING ITCHING EARS.

People no longer want to hear the truth because of their manner of lust and worldly desires, they have cunningly selected the kinds of friends and teachers they listen to, they neglect those who will tell them the truth but give their whole attention to those who will guide them and subtly lead them to hell.

Yesterday, we saw the example of Mary, if she had messed up and later asked for forgiveness, God will forgive and forget but the destiny which she was suppose to fulfill will be changed or diverted to another because she wouldn't have been able to carry such a favour.

Yes, we all have a predetermined future and glorious destiny in Christ but that destiny can be changed or transferred to someone else.

Do you know that, God ordained Moses to enter the promise land, it wasn't God's will and plan for Moses to end is journey half way, Moses only saw the promised land but couldn't enter not because that was God's predetermined plan for him but because he failed to honour God at a point in time.. Therefore, Moses didn't fulfil his glorious destiny, his purpose was only partially fulfilled.

 God is merciful but we forget that, the same God who is the Lamb is still the Lion. Yes, He will forgive you and also forget it but you may not get certain benefits or He may decide to change that which was primarily ordained for you. Will He tell you He changed that which He wanted to give unto you due to your fall? No. He won't tell you because He loves you.

God by Himself chose Saul, it wasn't the people that voted for Saul, it was God who selected him but yet, it was God who replaced him when he messed up.

David would still have been selected later on to be King but not before Saul's death. God didn't wait for Saul to die before He selected and anointed David, He took the kingship anointing away from Saul.
Certain things can be too lost to be found. I pray for you, may you not be replaced and I push away by the power of God whatever the enemy wants to use to push you out of the way in Jesus name. Amen

*Insights For Today: Hold fast that which you have less you lose your crown. If you hold loosely what you should hold firmly, you will definitely suffer grave losses.*

*_Prayer:  Dear Lord, I surrender all to you and i submit to your Holy Spirit, guide me and lead me continually in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith_*

♦ *TOPIC: TOO LOST TO BE FOUND Pt. 1*
*_By: Judah Olatunde_*

Revelation  3:11  Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.
Proverbs  14:34  Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.

When certain things are lost, they can be found but when some other things are lost, they can never be found. Virginity brings dignity and there is a reward tag placed on it but when lost in premarital sex, it can never be restored back neither can the benefits be gotten back.

People toy with the mercy of God but think nothing will happen to them in return. God works by His grace but how is it that, God never gave Ananias and Saphira another chance to repent? Were they not believers and why should they be judged and condemned to rot in hell based on that act? Was it because they were worst sinners than many of us?

What was God saying to us through the parable of the prodigal son? Was it just that God can forgive any sin? Or is there anything we need to know that our hearts haven't seen and comprehended from that story?

Mary was a woman who found favour just like any other woman but if she had defiled herself a day before the angel came unto her, she would have lost that favour never to have such again.

Mary's case was not farfetched, if she defiled herself, no matter the kind of mercy God showed to her, she can never be permitted to carry Jesus in  her womb, God will have to look for someone else to confer that order of favour upon because it would have been too lost to be found.

Joseph would have ended in honour too even if he agreed to Portiphar's wife opinion, but the honour he would have enjoyed would not have been the kind the Lord wanted him to enjoy in life.

People look at the example of the prodigal son and draw this silly conclusion, "Yes, God will forgive me when I do this thing so I can go ahead and just do it since I'll confess after I have done it", but such people also forgets the case of Ananias and Saphira, it wasn't under the law that they were smitten, was Jesus not crucified? Why then were they judged and sent to hell without another chance for repentance. Flee all appearances of evil!

(FROM AUGUST 2018 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

FRIDAY 3RD AUGUST, 2018

SCRIPTURE: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Ephesian 5:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: People of impact are people who have a very high sense of urgency.

In my book, 10 Principal Secrets of Principal People, I made it clear that principles are the secrets of principal people. This means, there are principles principal people know and practice that make them great on earth. In the same way, to be one of the most important personalities on earth, one must do the most important things.

Now, one of the most important things on earth is the maximization of life’s opportunities.

One way to maximize your life’s opportunities is living with the sense of urgency. It is the refusal to be a time or opportunity waster. It is to recognize opportunities and take advantage of them. Urgency affects destiny. Time is the stuff of life. The wastage of time is the wastage of life. People of impact are people who have a very high sense of urgency.

Destiny is time sensitive. A man at the age of 55 cannot join the military force to become a soldier or join a football club to play football; he may be interested but it is too late. Also, the regular education is easier than adult education.

All time-wasters will end up being life wasters. When you spend three hours on the internet, not because you want to carry out a research but to chat with someone aimlessly, you are wasting your time. The same time people use to make inventions, receive songs and messages from heaven, generate fresh oil, sharpen mentality and upgrade their lives is the same time others are spending in wasting their lives.

As a principle of life experience, every day of my life is scheduled. I have a book that contains the daily schedule of my life. I would not walk into the day without a scheduled list of what to do for that day and then allow anything to just happen to me. There are people things happen to and there are those that happen to things. Do not let life plan you; plan your life.

My counsel is, schedule your life; have a daily and weekly schedule in order to avoid time wastage. Avoid the company of time wasters. Run away from procrastination. Yesterday was the best time to do what you want to do tomorrow.
Remember this: People of impact are people who have a very high sense of urgency.

ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Refuse to waste your time and opportunity.
2. Maximise every time and opportunity to impact people.
3. Have a daily and weekly schedule for your life.

PRAYER: Help me Lord, not to waste the time and opportunities of my life. I receive the grace to schedule my life and maximize my life’s opportunities, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
