Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 4 February 2025 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Preservation Power Of Integrity
TOPIC: The Preservation Power Of Integrity (Seeds Of Destiny 4 February 2025)
SCRIPTURE: Let integrity and uprightness preserve me; for I wait on thee. Psalm 25:21
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Integrity and uprightness carry the power to preserve, while sin breaks the divine hedge of protection around God’s people.
MESSAGE:
Our anchor Scripture reveals that integrity is a powerful force for preservation; uprightness protects lives and destinies. Integrity and uprightness carry the power to preserve, while sin breaks the divine hedge of protection around God’s people. The Bible provides examples of individuals who were preserved by their integrity. Job is our first example in our study today. Job 1:1 says: There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil. This Scripture highlights Job’s integrity and uprightness. Furthermore, Job 1:9-10 says: Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. Because Job was an upright man, God built a hedge of protection and preservation around him, his household, and all that he possessed. Even Satan saw and testified to the existence of this hedge. The devil could have attempted to harm Job but was unable to penetrate the hedge of divine protection surrounding him. He then acknowledged to God:
Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side?
This demonstrates that an upright person cannot be easily attacked by the devil because integrity builds a protective hedge around God’s people. If you live uprightly, you don’t need to fear the activities of witches and wizards; your right standing with God carries an inherent power for protection. The opposite is also true: ungodliness removes the hedge of divine preservation. A life of sin leaves people vulnerable to the attack of the enemy. Sin destroys the spiritual defence system that protect God’s people. That is why a sinner has no assurance of divine preservation. This is my counsel: Always seek God’s grace to always remain righteous and upright. Integrity is a shield, and uprightness is a defence.
Remember this: Integrity and uprightness carry the power to preserve, while sin breaks the divine hedge of protection around God’s people.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Make up your mind by all means to live a life of integrity.
- Prayerfully `resist and overcome every temptation and invitation to iniquity.
PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to live a righteous and upright life. Deliver me from every temptation to sin, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
