Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Forgetting Your Past

Pastor Paul Enenche

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 16 June 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Forgetting Your Past

TOPIC: Forgetting Your Past (Seeds Of Destiny 16 June 2024)

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 3:10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Until you forget your past, you must forfeit your future.

MESSAGE:

Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that forgetting your past is key to accessing your future.
Joseph accessed his future by releasing his past. He forgave his brothers of all the evils they did to him.

It is not possible to walk backward into the future. It is not possible to live in the past and have an accommodation in the future. Until you forget your past, you must forfeit your future.

Paul, in Philippians 3:10, 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.

There are many people whose failures of yesterday are still tying down their destiny today. Their mistake of yesterday is still affecting their life today. It is not supposed to be so.

Do not allow the disappointment of yesterday hinder your progress of today. Do not allow the memory of the people who cheated you, lied against you, refused to marry you, or betrayed you yesterday hinder your progress today.

When Joseph got to Egypt, he had two sons – Manasseh, and Ephraim.
Manasseh means, “I have forgotten,” and Ephraim means, “I am fruitful.”
This means, there can be no fruitfulness without forgetfulness. That means you can only be fruitful in life when you have forgotten the past.

Beloved, God might be saying to you, “There is a future of fruitfulness for your ministry, business, career and destiny, but there is something pulling you from behind.”

You might have started something in the past and failed, God is asking you to start again.

Where you failed in the past, go back there and start again and succeed.

Remember this: Until you forget your past, you must forfeit your future.

ASSIGNMENT:

  1. Refuse to dwell in your past.
  2. Start again! Start it again, and you will succeed.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to leave my past hurtful past behind. I receive the grace to move on triumphantly into the future Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
