Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Never Invest For Demolition

Paul Enenche

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 9 July 2025 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Never Invest For Demolition

 

TOPIC: Never Invest For Demolition (Seeds Of Destiny 9 July 2025)

SCRIPTURE: If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 1 Corinthians 15:19

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anyone whose only hope is in this life is a most miserable person.

MESSAGE:

Sometime ago, someone died in the eastern part of Nigeria, and as they were burying him, a mad man stood and said, ‘Hold on! See his car, put the car in the grave too; let it follow him. Don’t bury only him; put his properties in the grave too. Amazingly, the mad man was preaching a message.

The truth is, no matter how rich you are, it has never been possible for a man to go to eternity with even a dime. Job says in Job 1:21, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither:

If a man had no relationship with God before his death, he only wasted his lifetime.

Beloved, take note of these three things.

1. Anyone whose only hope is in this life is a most miserable person. No wonder, Paul the apostle says in 1Corinthians 15:19, If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. This implies that anyone whose life only centres around the things of this life is a miserable person. A multi-millionaire, a billionaire, president of a country, or governor of a state whose hope is only centred in this world, is a miserable person. He is miserable because he is hoping in a system that is doomed to crash and marked for demolition.

2. Anyone whose affection is centred on the things of this world is living a life of waste. A person whose affection is only for the things of this life is living a life of waste. A person who is married to the things of this life will acquire eternal frustration.

3. Anyone whose investment is only directed at earthly materials is investing into demolition. Show me a man whose investment, energy, and time are only in this world, I will show you a man who is investing into a system that is marked for demolition.

Beloved, refuse to channel your affection only on the things of this world that will one day fade away. Let your investment be towards God and eternal matters because one day, eternity shall start for all, both great and small.

Remember this: Anyone whose only hope is in this life is the most miserable person.

ASSIGNMENT (S):

  1. Keep your affection on Christ and on eternal matters, not on the things of this world.
  2. Ask God to keep you permanently hungry for Him.

PRAYER: Lord, draw me closer to You each day. Help me to invest in things that have eternal values as I fulfil my purpose on earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

On September 11, 2001, an event happened that shook the whole world. The Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in New York City were razed to the ground by suicide bombers.

The sights and the sound of this catastrophic event filled television stations worldwide – CNN, Sky News, BBC News, AIT, NTA, etc. I remember turning on the television, and seeing a plane entering a sky-scrapper, and then suddenly everything collapsed with fire. It looked like a movie or a dream.

But amidst all this, God made me understand that what happened was shadow compared to what is to come. This whole world as you see it is marked for demolition. And we are already at the end of time.

So, we are closer to the demolition of the world like never before. It is vital to note this because if we don’t understand the times that we live in, we can easily become victims of its calamity.

This world is not here to stay; it will fade away. Love not the world neither the things that are in the world (1 John 2:15). The things people kill themselves to get will all pass away. The things people kill others to get will all pass away. All presidential palaces, royal castles and the most beautiful houses are all marked for demolition. The flesh that many people are advertising is doomed to decay. The time will come when your wristwatch will be of no use because time will stop, and eternity will begin. The hairdressing salons, nightclubs, alcoholic joints will all be deserted. And at that time what is going to matter is not the amount of money you have in your bank account, not how beautiful or handsome you look; what will matter is where your soul will be.

Beloved, ensure that your way of life is not preparing you for hell, but for heaven. Invest more in what is eternal, not what is carnal and temporal.

Remember this: The things people kill others to get will all pass away.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

  1. Make up your mind not to end in hell.
  2. Invest more in what is eternal, not what is carnal.
  3. Ask God for the grace to live upright.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to walk in righteousness. Help me to set my affection on things above, not on things on the earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
