Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 19 April 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Flourishing In Famine

TOPIC: Flourishing In Famine (Seeds Of Destiny 19 April 2024)

SCRIPTURE: And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham…Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. – Genesis 26:1, 12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: In a world plagued with darkness and economic holocaust, you need a different mind-set to live a different life.

MESSAGE:

The Scripture reveals that in the land of Gerar where Isaac once dwelled, there was a great famine. But Isaac sowed in the midst of this famine.

Can you see Isaac’s mind-set?
Everyone in the land was plagued by the famine and were thinking and looking for what to eat, but Isaac was thinking and looking for what to sow.

Isaac flourished in the midst of famine because he had a different mind-set. Your mentality indeed determines your reality.

In a world plagued with darkness and economic holocaust, you need a different mind-set to live a different life. It does not matter the situation of the land, if your mind is different, your life will be different. When you have a different mind-set, people will see that difference in your life.

Sometime ago, in one of our mid-week services, while I was preaching, a young man sat in church and asked himself while listening to the message, “How do I move from the realm of millions in Naira to the realm of billions in Naira?”

While listening to the message, light flashed through his mind; he got an idea to decrease his expenses and increase his investment. Then, he gave himself three years and decided to spend only from his investment.

In a short while, he entered into the ten-figure range.
Beloved, you are not where you are because the devil is too powerful. If you come to your senses, you must come to your changes.

REMEMBER THIS: In a world plagued with darkness and economic holocaust, you need a different mind-set to live a different life.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind to flourish even in the midst of famine.
2. Do not allow the situation of the world to determine your mind-set; let your mind-set change the situation of the world around your life.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to flourish despite the darkness in the world. Give me the right mentality that will positively shape the reality of life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 18 April 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Victory Mindset Of David

TOPIC: The Victory Mindset Of David (Seeds Of Destiny 18 April 2024)

SCRIPTURE: And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God? 1 Samuel 17:26.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life.

MESSAGE:

It has been established that your mentality determines your reality.

When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life. Battles are lost or won first in the mind.

The story of David demonstrates the importance of the mind in the battles of life. David was someone who won the battles of his life from his mind.

In 1 Samuel 17, there was a time the Israelites and the Philistines were gathered for a battle. King Saul was the leader of Israel while Goliath was the front man for the philistines. Goliath came out to confront the children of Israel. He boasted to the children of Israel for forty days to bring out a man who could fight him, but there was no one to fight him.

Whenever Goliath came up and threatened, all Israel became afraid and ran into their camp.

However, David was sent by his father, Jesse, to ask after the welfare of his elder brothers in the battle ground, and then he heard Goliath boasting and threatening Israel.

1 Samuel 17:26 says:
And David spake to the men that stood by him, saying, What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine, and taketh away the reproach from Israel? for who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?

You see, all the Israelites saw Goliath as too big to fight, but David saw him as too big to miss. They all saw Goliath as an adversary who was too big to confront, but David saw Goliath as an opportunity too big to miss. That was how David went after Goliath.

David said to Goliath, “Come to me, and I will take your head from you. By the time I finish with you, I will use your own knife to cut off your head.” Remember that he had no knife in his hand when he made this statement; he was eyeing Goliath’s knife.

Beloved, what you do not see coming will never come. If you want to seize it, you must see it. David saw the victory ahead of time. He saw victory in his mind and he got victory in real life.

REMEMBER THIS: When you win in your mind, you must surely win in life; but when you lose in your mind, you will surely lose in life.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Ask God for a victory mind-set.
2. Refuse to be intimidated by physical confrontations.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the victory mind-set. Help me to maintain a positive and winning mind disposition Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 17 April 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Why Are Prayers Not Answered?

TOPIC: Why Are Prayers Not Answered? (Seeds Of Destiny 17 April 2024)

SCRIPTURE: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 5:6.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where there is no love, faith cannot work; where there is no love, prayer cannot work.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that faith worketh by love. This means that you need love to make your faith in God work. Where there is no love, faith cannot work. Where there is no love, you cannot access God and His Presence because it is impossible to please God without faith (Hebrews 11:6).

Today, there are many people wondering why their prayers are not answered and the reason why their faith is not working.

The reason is the lack of love. Many people’s hearts are filled with grudges towards others. Some people who claim to pray harbour malice against others. There are people they are not in talking terms with because of bitterness and malice. There are people they don’t greet or whose greetings they don’t answer. In fact there are people whose names should not be mentioned around them.

Beloved, it is important to know that where there is no love, faith cannot work; where there is no love, prayer cannot be answered.

How can God answer the prayer of people with this kind of heart disposition? This is the reason why the faith of some Christians is impotent.

As it is not easy for an impotent man to cause his wife to have conception, in the same way, faith without love is impotent, and cannot produce results. Prayer without love in the heart of man cannot provoke answers from God.

So, when you walk in love, you function in the interest of your faith.

Romans 1:17 says:
… The just shall live by faith.

This means, walking in love is walking to live; when you are walking in love, you are walking for your life. This is because you need your faith to live.

So, lovelessness makes people impotent in faith. Things cannot move if love, which is the nature of God, or the nature of all possibility, is lacking. When love is lacking in a life, things are not possible in such a life. Doubt, unbelief and fear rear up their ugly heads in such a life because the faith that worketh by love is lacking.

REMEMBER THIS: Where there is no love, faith cannot work; where there is no love, prayer cannot work.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Refuse to allow lovelessness hinder the answers to your prayer.
2. Release love so you can access God and His Presence for His intervention in your life.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from lovelessness. Clothe me with Your love so I can access Your Presence and express Your love to my world, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
