Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 8 August 2023 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Understanding Your Spiritual Root In Christ
TOPIC: Understanding Your Spiritual Root In Christ (Seeds Of Destiny 8 August 2023)
SCRIPTURE: And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree. Romans 11:17.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you are saved, Christ becomes your Root.
MESSAGE:
It has been confirmed that a major way out of any ancestral hold over your life is the understanding of your Root in Jesus Christ. When you are saved, Christ becomes your Root.
This is because to be saved is to be engrafted into the life of Christ.
Romans 11:17 says,
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.
This means, whenever you are saved, your life or welfare on earth is no longer determined by your natural or ancestral root, but your spiritual root which is in Christ Jesus.
Let me share a story with you. There is a member of our Church who plays a particular instrument proficiently.
When we first met, he told me that there was a plague of no marriage or late marriage in his family. This means, if they would marry at all, they would marry when they were almost fifty years of age. At that age, many of them still hang around and find it difficult to get married. That was the plague on this young man’s natural root.
However, as his pastor, I got married early and both he and I are now connected to the same spiritual Root in Christ Jesus. So, I prayed with him, and that spell was broken. The result: he got married way earlier than the age that his people normally got married.
Sometime ago, he told me, “Now, I go where no one in my family has ever gone and I do things no one in my family has ever done”.
Now, he has travelled to many places outside this country without struggling for visa. This was because his natural root has been changed.
Beloved, you must understand that when you are in Christ, your natural root, characterised by sin and ancestral curses has been changed to a spiritual root of holiness and blessing.
REMEMBER THIS: When you are saved, Christ becomes your Root.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Always remember and believe that in Christ, your ancestral root has been changed.
- Believe that what followed your fathers can no longer follow you because you are in Christ.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord, for showing me what happened to me in Christ. Today, I denounce every negative thing following me from my father’s house, Lord in Jesus’ Name.
