Dunamis Seeds of Destiny Devotional For Saturday 7th October, 2023

Dunamis Seeds of Destiny for Saturday 7th Oct. 2023

 

TOPIC: The Unstoppable Generation

 

SCRIPTURE: The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. John 3:8

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Every attempt to block the wind is to make more ways for it.

 

MESSAGE

It has been confirmed that a real child of God or a real church of Jesus Christ is an unstoppable entity. We are an irresistible force; we have the character of the wind (John 3:8). Nobody has the capacity to block the wind. As a genuine child of God, if you can understand the wind, then you can understand who you are meant to be. Every attempt to block the wind is to make more ways for it. We are the unstoppable generation.

Many years ago, an occultic ‘church’ was located side-by-side with our Church at Area 1, Garki Abuja at that time. They carried out all manner of evil practices with occultic books, candles, incense, etc. They were also bathing women naked. That ‘church’ seemed to be flourishing, but when we met them, I declared that they could not survive in the same environment with us; we can never be together. Light and darkness cannot coexist; someone must move for the other, and we were certainly not the ones to move.

Suddenly, catastrophe came on them. The man closed the ‘church’, packed his load, and ran out of town. Thus we closed the place forever; they ceased to function. That land they were operating on is our own now; we bought it up.
Beloved, you are not a vegetable to be stopped. Even the forces of your father’s house are too small to stop you. Ungodly government legislations are too small to stop you. The agenda of hell is too useless to stop you. The conspiracy of witches is too insignificant to stop you.
Beloved, refuse to bow to any form of pressure from hell; you are unstoppable!

 

REMEMBER THIS: Every attempt to block the wind is to make more ways for it.

 

ASSIGNMENTS:
Refuse to be lethargic. Refuse to allow the devil and his agents have the final word in your life.
Embark on aggressive prayers and praise to disrupt satanic structures and agenda against your life, family, and destiny.
Maintain your stand in righteousness; refuse to compromise.

 

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for the power You gave me to tread upon the devil and his agents. I set every satanic structure on fire. Darkness and its associates have no place in my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

 

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: BORN OF THE WIND.

 

DAILY BIBLE READING: Matthew 3-5.

 

QUOTE: The presence of darkness is to be blamed on the absence of light. Culled from the book, “THOU ART MY BATTLE AXE” by Dr Paul Enenche.

 

AMAZING FACT: When eagles choose a partner, it’s ‘Till death do us part’. They are a monogamous species. However, if their partner dies early or does not return to the nest for a year or so, it would generally seek a new partner.

 

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Proceed in unstoppability in all realms from this day forward, in Jesus’ Name.

 

The Seeds of Destiny Devotional is a highly spiritual resource and life transforming devotional that is widely read across the world. It is written by Pastors Paul and Becky Paul Enenche, the Senior Pastors of the Dunamis International Gospel Centre (Glory Dome)

Open Heavens Devotional For Saturday 7th October, 2023

Open Heavens Devotional for Saturday 7th October. 2023

THEME: THE WAY

MEMORIZE: ‘Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh untc the Father, but by me.” – John 14:6

 

BIBLE READING JOHN 8:32-36

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

 

MESSAGE

Someone may want to ask the Lord Jesus Christ, “Everybody calls You one name or the other; some say teacher, some say prophet.
What would You love to be called?” In today’s memory verse, He said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life”.
These are three mighty names, but for the next few days, we will be looking at Jesus as ‘The Way’.
Today, we will consider Jesus as the way to freedom. John 8:32 says: ‘And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

In John 8:36, the Bible says, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
When we talk about freedom, there are some people who think they are free but are not.
Many influential people have problems that money cannot solve – problems completely beyond the power of science.
However, there is no problem beyond the power of Jesus Christ. He is the way to freedom.
There was a man in Mark 5:1-15 who was controlled by a legion of demons.
Just one word from The Way, and all the demons left him.

There was a woman who had this peculiar condition that caused electrical currents to pass through her whenever any electronic appliance around her was switched on.
If you switched on the electric iron, she would become hot while the iron remained cold. If you switched on the fan, the woman would start rotating.

Once, when she wanted to go to the hospital in a van, as soon as the driver started the engine, the current flowed from the battery, picked her up and threw her out of the vehicle.
Due to this strange condition, electricity supply had to be cut off from her house.
I went to see this woman and told her | knew someone who could set her free.

She immediately gave her life to Jesus, we prayed a simple prayer and when we turned on the fan, it rotated without affecting her in any way.
She was set free by The Way.
The only way to obtain freedom is by surrendering your life completely to The Way.

 

KEY POINT
Jesus is the only way to true freedom

 

HYMN
HYMN 18 – WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD
1. When we walk with the Lord,
In the light of His word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will
He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey.

CHORUS
Trust and obey!
For there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus,
But to trust and obey.

2. Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.

3. Not a burden we bear,
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief nor a loss,
Not a frown nor a cross,
But is blest if we trust and obey

4. But we never can prove
The delights of His love,
Until all on the altar we lay,
For the favour He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey.

5. Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we’ll walk by His side in the way,
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear, only trust and obey.

Rhapsody of Realities Devotional For Saturday 7th October, 2024

Rhapsody of Realities Devotional for Saturday 7th Oct. 2023

 

TOPIC: THE EXPRESS IMAGE OF HIS PERSON

Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

 

MESSAGE

An important question to ask after reading our opening verse is: What was Jesus like when the Father sent Him? The Bible gives us a description in Hebrews 1:3: “Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.”

Two phrases to notice in this verse are: “the brightness of his glory” and “the express image of his person.” Jesus was the brightness—the effulgence or the outshining—of God’s glory. Each time He stepped out, He was the glory of God manifested. He was also the express image of the Father’s person.

If you wanted to know what God was like, you looked at Jesus. He was the absolute description of the Father, and His life was endlessly glorious. Now, Jesus says, “… as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you” (John 20:21). Then 1 John 4:17 tells us that as He (Jesus) is, so are we in this world.

This means that just as Jesus is the brightness of God’s glory, you’re the brightness of Jesus’ glory. You’re the express image of the Father’s person as Jesus. This is too lofty for the religious mind to grasp, but it’s one of the truths of who we are in Christ and what He’s made us. He sent us to go into all the world and express His love, kindness, nature and character.

Remember what He said in John 15:5, “I am the vine, ye are the branches….” That means we have the same life. He’s also given us His Name, so we have the same name. What belongs to Him belongs to us; we’re “…heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ…” (Romans 8:17).
Even now, declare with absolute confidence, “I’m the express image of the Father’s person. I reveal and unveil His glory.” Hallelujah!

 

PRAYER / CONFESSION
I’m an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ. I possess the same life and bear the same name as the Lord Jesus. Therefore, I manifest His love, kindness, nature, and character to the world around me, and as a vessel, His glory shines and is revealed through me with greater intensity. I bring the reality of this truth to many, and they accept the salvation that’s in Christ Jesus. Amen.
