Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 17 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Accessing The God Of Excess And Abundance

 

TOPIC: Accessing The God Of Excess And Abundance (Seeds Of Destiny 17 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:19-20.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You need an elastic mentality about God to access the God of excess and abundance.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that we serve the God of excess. We serve the God who always exceeds the expectations and limitation of men. Everything about creation is in excess. For example, look at the water bodies of the earth, the great oceans like the Pacific and the Atlantic, how massive they are. The whole world is more like water that has pieces of land inside. When you fly in the air, you would see the earth like little land masses inside massive ocean bodies.

God could have just poured little water here and there; but He doesn’t know how to do ordinary things; He does things excessively.

Look at the mountains everywhere. God could have just put some little pieces of elevation here and there, but He made Mount Everest, Mount Kilimanjaro and all the other mountains on the earth.

Look at the deserts. Look at the animals. There are over Ten Thousand species of animals in our world. There are more than nine thousand groupings of birds. And each group has its own sub-types.

For example, if you look at the eagle, there are over sixty species of eagles or sixty sub-types of eagles.

If you look at the cat family, we have the domestic cat, tigers, leopards, lions, etc. and each of these has different species or subtypes. And when you add all the species of different animals together, you would have millions of different types of animals.

This is the God of abundance we serve.

Sadly, many Christians have limited God with their micro-mentality. So, you need an elastic mentality about God to access the God of excess and abundance. You need to enlarge your mind and see beyond your environment. Our God is a mega God.

And that God will do massive things in your life, family, career, business and ministry in this season, in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: You need an elastic mentality about God to access the God of excess and abundance.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Don’t limit God with your mind-set.
  2. Enlarge your mind-set to access the God of excess and abundance.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from micro-mentality. Help me to see how great You are so I can access the great things in Your Hand, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE GOD OF OVERFLOW

QUOTE: The overflow refers to Divine abundance beyond measure; immeasurable abundance or non-quantifiable abundance. Many of the things we have, as humans, can be measured, but the resources God releases in the overflow, cannot be measured. It is abundance beyond measure. Culled from, “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW.” by Dr Paul Enenche

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 34-36.

AMAZING FACT: Pigeons are very intelligent, and are one of the few animals to have passed the ‘mirror test’ of self-recognition.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: May God usher you this day into His realm of super abundance in Jesus’ Name.

Today’s devotional was written by Pastor Paul Enenche of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), headquartered at Abuja, Nigeria, with Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche, as the Senior Pastors.

DCLM Daily Manna – Effective Follow-Up

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 17 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Effective Follow-Up

TOPIC: Effective Follow-Up (DCLM Daily Manna 17 August 2022)

TEXT: Acts 1:1-8 (KJV)

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:

3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:

4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?

7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

KEY VERSE: “The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach” (Acts 1:1).

MESSAGE:

D. L. Moody said, “It is better to train ten people than to do the work of ten people. But it is harder.” Yes, training people is a hard work, especially when such are adults.

Training new converts was the assignment that Luke decided to undertake when Theophilus became a believer. He is a good example we must emulate.

Luke had earlier written the gospel of Luke to inform Theophilus about the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus. Now, he writes an update, chronicling the story of the early church to this same convert. He told him about the appearances of Jesus to the disciples after resurrection and how He prepared them for evangelism through the power of the Holy Ghost. He made them to recognise the need to pray and trust God while carrying out their assignment.

There is a great need for effective follow-up of converts today. Our follow-up can be done by personal contact (making telephone and video calls). It can also be done by personal prayer, personal representatives (sending people to visit them) and personal correspondence (writing to them). All these methods are employed to encourage, teach and guide the new converts in their new faith.

Effective follow-up is a necessity for young converts. Whatever means is available to us, we must use it to effectively follow-up our new converts. This work demands a price in money, time, prayer and discipline, but the results are eternally rewarding.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Effective follow-up is essential if evangelism will be fruitful.

TREM Devotional – Believe In Him

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 16 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Believe In Him

TOPIC: Believe In Him (TREM Devotional 16 August 2022)

“Jesus answered, The work you can do for God starts with believing in the One he has sent” John 6:29 (TPT)

MESSAGE:

Since the fall in Eden, Man has been hung up on works. Unfortunately, no matter how hard man tries, it is absolutely impossible to please God by his works. For it is written: “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” (James 2:10 KJV). In other words, there is no small or big sin. Sin is sin! And the wages of sin is death. God saw the sheer helplessness of man and sent His Son, Jesus to pay the price for man’s redemption. Even when Jesus came, the question persisted: “What shall we do, that we might work the works of God”.

Jesus looked at them straight in the eye and gave them the answer. But unfortunately, up till today, many still struggle with the answer. Jesus said the work of God is this: “…..believe on Him whom He hath sent, again the word “believe” All God is asking of you is to believe Him. Take Him at His word. Be convinced that He is not a man that He should lie, neither the Son of man that He should repent (Numbers 23:19). If you believe Him totally, you will obey every word that proceeds out of His mouth.

For too long, you have tried to help yourself and failed. Why not quit trying and surrender to Him? Check through the scriptures, there has never been one person that believed in Him that was ever disappointed. To believe is to be ready to do just what He says, without trying to understand it. “Believe” is not passive. “Believe” is more than mere mental assent. To believe is to accept without any shadow of doubt and to be ready to obey without asking any question. To believe is to follow God every step of the way. To believe is not to fold your hands doing nothing. Rather, to believe is to put in your best in the assignment that He has committed into your hands. To believe is to pursue excellence because God is Excellent.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Taking Your Place At The Top

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 16 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Taking Your Place At The Top

 

TOPIC: Taking Your Place At The Top (Seeds Of Destiny 16 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Matthew 5:14.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you are destined for the top, you must make up your mind to take your place at the top by force.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that as children of God, we are created for the top. Our destiny is existence in the high places of the Earth. We are not designed for the ground level.

Therefore, if you are destined for the top, you must make up your mind to take your place at the top by force.

Matthew 11:12 says,
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

Please understand this: If the high place of the earth is your destiny, you must violently react against existence in mediocrity.

For example, if a grown-up man is addressed as a woman, he would get angry and react violently because he is not a woman. The man would be furious at the person who called him woman and would ask, “Why are you calling me a woman? Do you see feminine characteristics or features in me?” If the man is hot tempered, he may slap the person who called him woman. This is because it is an abuse of masculinity to address a man like that. Please note that being a woman is not a lower level of existence, just a different aspect of our common humanity.

In the same manner, if you are meant to be flying at the top and anyone tries to give a wrong identity, you must react. Determine to refuse and reject low-level existence and take your place at the top by all godly means. That is who you are and where you belong.

Remember this: If you are destined for the top, you must make up your mind to take your place at the top by force.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Reject low level existence.
  2. Take your place at the top by all godly means.

PRAYER: Lord, I reject the ground level existence. I receive the grace to take my place at the top, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Those who strive for excellence do not strive with people. Culled from, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 31-33

AMAZING FACT: Some land snails can sleep for up to three years in hibernation or aestivation. Snails need moisture to survive, so when the weather isn’t cooperating, they can hibernate for three years until the temperature is more suitable.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: Every force that has kept you at the ground level in life is broken off your life now in Jesus’ Name.

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 16 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Power For Precious People

 

TOPIC: Power For Precious People (DCLM Daily Manna 16 August 2022)

TEXT: Luke 24:49-53 (KJV)

49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.

52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

KEY VERSE: “And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high” (Luke 24:49).

MESSAGE:

Jean Caron, according to Wikipedia, is one of the strongest men on earth. He competed ten times in the World’s Strongest Man competition between 2008 and 2020 reaching the final eight times. In 2016, he successfully flipped a 610 kg tire four times to set a new world record and the same year, he broke the Guinness Book of World Records by turning over a Volkswagen thirteen times within five minutes in China. While Caron is being celebrated as the strongest, believers must recognise the awesome power bestowed upon them by the Holy Ghost.

After His resurrection, Jesus reminded His disciples of the messages He had taught them. He promised to send them the Holy Spirit but they must first wait in Jerusalem to receive the power. Thereafter, He led them out of town, blessed them and ascended to heaven. In obedience to the directive of the Master, the disciples returned to Jerusalem and waited in prayers for the Holy Ghost power, which eventually came upon them on the day of Pentecost.

Jesus demonstrated a lot of spiritual power while on earth. With the power of the Holy Spirit, He healed the sick, raised the dead, cast out demons, turned water to wine and fed thousands of people with just few loaves and fishes, etc. The miracles drew the attention of many people who thereafter turned from sin to righteousness.

The power of the Holy Ghost is available today. If you are a sanctified believer, ask for it in prayer of faith. He will give you what He promised. Only then will you begin to do exploits.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
You need the Holy Ghost for God-glorifying exploits.

TREM Devotional – What You Believe Is What You Manifest

By

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 15 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – What You Believe Is What You Manifest

 

TOPIC: What You Believe Is What You Manifest (TREM Devotional 15 August 2022)

“Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?” Isaiah 53:1 (NKJV)

MESSAGE:

Today, I have come to ask you: whose report do you believe? What you believe will determine what you say. And the Bible states very clearly that you shall have what you say. You see, it does not require faith to believe in defeat, failure, and lack. You don’t need faith to be afraid, because it is often in line with your experience. However, faith is required to believe in victory. You need faith to believe God for your healing and your provisions. The bible says, the just shall live by faith, and faith pleases God. We are called believers because we believe in God.

Whatever you believe is what will manifest. So, if you want to know what you believe, check through your life and find out what is manifesting, then you will know exactly what you believe. Our text reveals what it takes for the arm of the Lord to be revealed: Believe the report of the Lord! You cannot go on believing wrongly and expect good things to be made manifest. No! It does not work that way. I know that things might not be going right. I know there are difficulties and challenges facing you. But in the midst of all these, you must hold on to what God’s Word says concerning you, and never let go. Even in the face of contradictory evidence, you are who God says you are. You have what He says you have. You can do what He says you can do. Only believe!

Your part is not to know how it will happen. Your part is to believe what He says. He will figure out how to bring it to pass. Mary said I don’t know how this will happen, but be it unto me, according to your Word (Luke 1:38).

Choose to believe His Word! Stand on it and watch God perform His Word.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Worship And The Glory

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 15 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Worship And The Glory

TOPIC: Worship And The Glory (Seeds Of Destiny 15 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of God. 2 Chronicles 5:14.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Pure love-filled worship attracts the Glory of God.

MESSAGE:

One major secret behind the glory explosion is a lifestyle of worship. Pure love-filled worship attracts the glory of God.

The Scripture makes it clear that as the trumpeters and instrumentalists worshipped God, the Glory of God filled the house of God (2 Chronicles 5:13-14) during the dedication of the temple of Solomon.

And one critical requirement for acceptable worship is love. It is the love-filled worship that pulls down the glory. You cannot worship God in bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, competition, contention and see the Glory of God. If the glory must come down, we must engage in pure love-filled worship. Love for man and love for God.

Beloved, to see the Glory of God, you must make amends. You cannot keep malice with your wife and be attending conferences seeking to see the Glory of God. Maybe you are a pastor and your wife does not greet you or when she greets you, you do not answer, what kind of pastor are you? Where are you going? If my wife does not think that I am a Christian, then, I am not a Christian. If my wife does not think I am real, then, I am not real. If my wife cannot count on my words, no one has the right to count on my words.

One day, we were in a meeting and my wife was jotting notes of the message I was preaching and a man who came from Zambia asked her, “Madam, what are you still writing? You have been listening to your husband all these years” And she told him, “Yes, I have been listening to him all these years, but I hear something new every time.”

To see the Glory of God, you must engage in the pure worship of God in love, in holiness and in sincerity of heart.

Remember this: Pure love-filled worship attracts the Glory of God.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Let your lifestyle bring worship to God always.
  2. Resist the lifestyle of sin.

PRAYER: Father, I receive fresh grace to worship You consistently in love and sincerity of heart. Let both my lifestyle and my lips bring pure worship to You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: GLORY EXPLOSION

QUOTE: And what you got through a life of worship can be kept through a life of worship. Culled from, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 28-30.

AMAZING FACT: Sea otters hold each other’s paws when they sleep so they don’t drift apart.

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: The Glory of the Lord overwhelm your life in this season as you walk in pure love in Jesus’ Name.

DCLM Daily Manna – Signs Following Christ’s Followers

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 15 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Signs Following Christ’s Followers

 

TOPIC: Signs Following Christ’s Followers (DCLM Daily Manna 15 August 2022)

TEXT: Mark 16:14-20 (KJV)

14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.

15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

KEY VERSE: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (MARK 16:17, 18).

MESSAGE:

Late Jamie Coots, the pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name in Middlesboro, Kentucky USA, was handling a rattlesnake during a service when he was bitten on his right hand. He refused medical care because he believed that God called upon him to handle venomous serpents and to drink other poisons without being harmed. While the Scripture encourages intelligent and Spirit-guided faith, it does not support presumptuous actions.

In our passage today, Jesus categorically commanded His disciples to go into the world and preach the gospel to every creature – the religious, atheists, unconverted youths and even children. He promised to protect them from harm as they go about preaching the gospel. In obedience to His instructions, they went everywhere preaching and signs followed them.

Jesus promised to be with His disciples because He knew that Satan would want to hinder them from carrying out His instructions. The story of Jesus and the cross is the message that the believer should preach and expect the signs to follow their obedience (Acts 28:1-5).

It is not faith but presumption to deliberately expose ourselves and other people to extreme danger. Miracles are not for show. Believers must show proper decorum and make wise decisions when they face life-threatening situations while doing the Master’s bidding.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The essence of faith is to turn sinners into saints through the gospel.

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 14 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Your Testimony Is Around The Corner

 

TOPIC: Your Testimony Is Around The Corner (TREM Devotional 14 August 2022)

“So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the harvest, So those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.” Psalms 126:5-6 (MSG)

MESSAGE:

We are in a time and season when the media is filled with news that makes you weep. There are tales of woe all across the nations of the world. Many no longer feel safe to move around even in the most secure environments because of the news of sudden attacks, terrorism, and kidnappings. Yet in the midst of all this, God is assuring us that it is our season of rejoicing.

I know in the past months; things may not have worked out as you expected. You may have fasted and prayed, and it appears that heaven has become brass and the earth iron. Child of God don’t be moved by the lies of the devil. Our text remains very true: “…those who went off with heavy hearts will come home laughing, with armloads of blessing.” Beloved, your season of blessing is here, it is your time to celebrate and nothing can stop it.

In view of this, I encourage you in the words of Apostle Paul: “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised.” (Hebrews 10:35-36 NLT) You will not lose out. You will reap all that the Lord has promised you. So, don’t give up! And don’t give in!

Every day I hear mind-blowing testimonies of healing, deliverance, financial abundance, marriages, and the fruit of the womb amongst others. And I know that the same God who has done it for one will do it for you. For the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him. The very fact that He has done it before is proof that you will not be denied. God is too faithful to fail. Therefore, be determined never to let go of His love.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 14 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Releasing Your Past To Access Your Future

TOPIC: Releasing Your Past To Access Your Future (Seeds Of Destiny 14 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:13.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

MESSAGE:

It has been confirmed that one thing that keeps people in perpetual bondage and affliction is the refusal to let go of the past.

One thing to know is: if you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

Dragging your yesterday into today makes arrival in tomorrow impossible. Until you forgive and forget the errors, mistakes, missed opportunities, hurts, and pains of the past, you cannot access your future. You must forfeit and forgo the opportunities of the past because you cannot hold on to the past and take hold of the future at the same time. You cannot walk backwards into tomorrow.

There could be emotional baggage, regrets, bitterness, pain, un-forgiveness, that have been following you for many years; you must drop them in order to lay hold of your future or reach where God wants you to reach in life.

Philippians 3:13 says,
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

Beloved, forgive and forget your past. If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future. There are some hurting letters or text messages you have kept that should be torn or deleted. And more importantly, wipe them off your memory if you must access your destiny. This is because as long as you keep looking at them and remembering the past, you cannot get to your future. What to do if you failed before is to rise and start again and do it better; failure is not meant to hold you down.

Beloved, you might have missed an opportunity in the past; the good news is that several other opportunities are coming your way. Someone might have hurt you, but do not be bitter. The hurt is to make you better, not bitter. So, release your negative past to access your positive future.

Remember this: If you cannot release the negative past, you cannot access the positive future.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. By all means, release your negative past.
  2. Always set a vision ahead of you and walk towards it.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I receive Your grace to forgo and forfeit my negative past, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

Jesus Christ our Lord and Master knew His mission and purpose for living. He knew why He was on earth and He did all that He had to do to get the work done. In the early years of His ministry when some people wanted to make Him king, He refused their offer. He knew He must be at His Father’s business. He faithfully and wholeheartedly carried out His God-given responsibility until the end of His sojourn on earth.

After Christ’s resurrection, He met the disciples in Galilee as promised. But despite all that they witnessed, some of them still doubted the resurrection story. Jesus then affirmed the divine authority that has been conferred on Him by His death. Then He commissioned them to go everywhere to preach, teach and baptize converted people in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. He promised to be with them wherever they go.

The assignment that Jesus gave the Church has not changed. Although much has changed about the world, the mandate to preach the gospel has never changed. Technology has made it easy to carry out the assignment using the social media, radio and television as well as the printed page. Everywhere we go, there is always an opportunity available to talk to someone about Jesus.

Since man has limited time to spend on earth, carrying out this assignment should be our priority. As you labour to bring souls to the Kingdom with consecration and commitment, great will be your reward. Will you be a faithful labourer today?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
The harvest is much but the labourers are few!

TREM Devotional – The Power Of The Secret Place

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 12 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – The Power Of The Secret Place

TOPIC: The Power Of The Secret Place (TREM Devotional 12 August 2022)

“In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.” Isaiah 38:1 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

According to the scriptures, when Hezekiah received this report he “…turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,” (Isaiah 38:2). In other words, he shut down from everything surrounding him. He shut down from natural circumstances and situations. He shut down from the lie of the devil and the doctor’s report. He shut down from the postulations, the predictions, and the calculations of man. That is what the secret place is all about. Shutting down completely from what you used to know. Shutting down from what anyone is telling you, Hezekiah shut down and turned his face to the wall. He refused to see any other thing. As he broke down and wept, the Lord sent Isaiah to go and tell him that He has added fifteen more years to his life. That is the power of the secret place.

God is your refuge! Jehovah Rapha is your Healer! He is your Great Provider! He is your Victorious Banner! He is your Shepherd! He is your Elevation! He is your Rock! He is your Shield your Buckler! He is El-Shaddai! He is the God that is more than enough. He will meet your needs. If He met the needs of the children of Israel in the wilderness for 40years, how much more now that we are sons of God.

So, stop speaking about the devil. When you catch yourself thinking what the devil is doing, cast it down and begin to say of the Lord. When you start speaking what you got out of the secret place, God begins to reveal His true nature to you. He begins to reveal to you His power, authority, and what is available to you. His power of protection and preservation will keep you from evil.

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Understanding The Tithe

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 12 August 2022 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Understanding The Tithe

 

TOPIC: Understanding The Tithe (Seeds Of Destiny 12 August 2022)

SCRIPTURE: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. Malachi 3:10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession.

MESSAGE:

It has been confirmed that understanding is key to outstanding existence in life; what you know is what you can show. In other words, knowledge is showledge. Also, what you see is what you can seize.

One reason people remain under the bondage of poverty is the ignorance of the secret of the blessing of abundance and supernatural supplies which is accessible through the tithe.

In our study today, we shall seek to understand what the tithe is all about.

  1. The tithe does not address the needs of God; it is targeted towards addressing the needs of man
    It is important to know that nothing changes with God if man does not pay tithe, but everything changes with the man who does not pay tithe. We do not pay tithe because God is in need, we pay tithe because we are in need. It was not because God was looking for fruit to eat that He told Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit (Genesis 2:15-17). So, the tithe does not address the needs of God; it is targeted towards addressing the needs of man.
  2. The tithe is not a giving but a payment
    A person gives what he owns but pays what he owes. You give your offerings but you pay your tithe; you give what is yours but you pay what you owe. This is why God said in Malachi 3:8 that we rob Him if we did not pay our tithe. It is robbery if we spend our tithe. If you use your tithe to buy a cloth and wear it, you are literally wearing a stolen cloth or cloth bought from stolen money. That is not your portion in Jesus’ Name.

So, the tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession. The tithe is God’s portion in man’s possession.

Remember this: The tithe is not yours; the tithe is God’s portion in your possession.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. For a clearer understanding of the subject, you could listen to my message, “The Matter of the Tithe”.
  2. Release God’s portion, the tithe, in your possession and be consistent in the practice.

PRAYER: Lord, I refuse to eat what belongs to You. I receive the Grace to hold nothing back but pay my tithe always, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: THE MATTER OF THE TITHE.

QUOTE: Do not spend the money that enters your hand until God has been given His portion. That portion is what is called ‘the tithe’. Culled from, “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 19-21.

AMAZING FACT: Similar to a snake that sheds, your skin renews itself every 28 days

PROPHETIC WORD/DECLARATION: The Lord open the windows of heaven over your life for irrecoverable Blessings as you are faithful in your practice of the covenant in Jesus’ Name.

Today’s devotional was written by Pastor Paul Enenche of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre (DIGC), headquartered at Abuja, Nigeria, with Pastor Paul and Becky Enenche, as the Senior Pastors. It is a power-packed arena where God’s Presence, Principles and Power are at work for the salvation, healing and restoration of human destinies and dignities.

DCLM Daily Manna 12 August 2022 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Praying To Receive

 

TOPIC: Praying To Receive (DCLM Daily Manna 12 August 2022)

TEXT: Numbers 6:22-27 (KJV)

22 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

24 The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

KEY VERSE: “And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.” – (Numbers 6:27).

MESSAGE:

The tragedy of the modern age is its concept of man’s self-sufficiency that makes him believe solely in his works. He arrays his technological feats and dreams of even more ambitious attempts at higher prospects. Man’s reverie of blessings and prosperity outside his Creator leads him to start a project of producing an elixir of life, to live forever.

Prosperity and success come from God alone. Instructing His servant, Moses, God reveals the unique type of petition from the children of Israel that would get His attention. First, the prayer must be offered by the truly dedicated messengers of God. Second, the demands must be presented to God. Third, the benediction sought must be for His children. Finally, the name of the Lord must be honoured as the chief requirement for answer to requests.

One of the Lord’s greatest gifts to man is the access to heaven through supplication. When in deep water, we earnestly call upon the Lord and He delivers us. Every genuine believer is a priest who can ask for heaven’s support, supply and succour. While a sinner can pray, he cannot enjoy all the virtues, riches and power of heaven except he or she pleads for forgiveness of sin and salvation.

It is the desire of the Lord that we depend upon Him in prayer for His blessings. He has raised up His Church as the salt and light of the world to pray for the lost in this perilous end time. He desires that we ask of Him, spiritual and physical blessings so that those around us would also acknowledge Him as a loving Father who meets the needs of His children who honour Him.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Blessings come from God through prayer of faith.

TREM Devotional – Speak The Word To Yourself

Dr. Mike Okonkwo TREM

Wisdom For The Day Devotional 11 August 2022 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – Speak The Word To Yourself

TOPIC: Speak The Word To Yourself (TREM Devotional 11 August 2022)

“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.” Joshua 1:8 (KJV)

MESSAGE:

Learn to speak the word to yourself. It will change your thoughts and your feeling. Repeat the scriptures to yourself. This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it. I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My mouth shall make my boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear and be glad. Oh magnify the Lord with me and let us exalt His name forever. I look unto him, my face is enlightened, and I am not ashamed. Put your confident expectation in Him. Speak what God said. Say it on daily basis. Put it in your bathroom and in your mirror. Put it on your fridge and everywhere. Speak positive things to your family. Speak life! Speak breakthrough! Speak His goodness!

Declare that God is bringing you out of that situation and that you are coming out bigger, better, and stronger than you have ever known. Speak because it will affect your feeling. Your feeling is so key and critical. If you feel negative, you are going to take a negative decision. However, if you feel positive, your disposition will be entirely different.

That was how Joshua succeeded. Moses had just died, and God was telling Joshua to get up and begin to lead the children of Israel into the land of promise. Joshua was so frightened, and God pointed him to the word. Let the word of God be your thought pattern; not what somebody said. When the chips are down, you will end up doing what you are hearing. That is what God was saying to Joshua. Stop rehearsing what your friend said concerning your situation. Keep speaking God’s word to yourself.

You must learn to use your tongue to declare good things concerning you.
