Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 10 September 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche | The Pathways Of Character
TOPIC: The Pathways Of Character (Seeds Of Destiny 10 September 2024)
SCRIPTURE: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. – John 8:32.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Where the flesh is out of control, life is out of order.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
In life, one established fact is that character is critical to destiny. People of quality (solid) character are people of quality (solid) destiny; and people of zero character are also people of zero destiny.
Now, if character is key to destiny fulfilment, it is important to understand the pathways to developing quality character so we can fulfil destiny.
We shall be looking at two of these pathways in our study today.
i. The lifestyle of truth.
The way of truth is the way of quality and positive character.
One of the things that are very scarce in our generation is the truth. Today, we see children lying to their parents to get more pocket money in school; wives lie to get money from their husbands, etc. There is a shortage of truth in our days.
Until we know that the truth is key to walking in liberty, we will continue to walk in deception.
John 8:32 says,
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
And deception is just a step away from destruction.
ii. The control of the flesh or self.
Another pathway to developing character is the control of the flesh. That is self-control.
Luke 9:23 says,
…If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
Where the flesh is out of control, life is out of order. The man who is an alcoholic is unable to control his appetite for alcohol, so he lives a life of disorder. Esau could not control his craving for food, so he put his destiny out of order.
The reason why some people cannot do the right things they want to do is that they are under the control of the flesh. Their spirit is willing but their flesh is weak.
Beloved, make up your mind to follow the way of truth and put your flesh under subjection to the Spirit. Only then shall you live right and fulfil destiny.
Remember this: Where the flesh is out of control, life is out of order.
ASSIGNMENT:
Ask God for the grace never to fall into the temptation of lies and falsehood.
Make up your mind to deny yourself daily. Refuse to come under the control of the flesh.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You deliver me from the lifestyle of falsehood and fake living. I receive the grace to have my flesh under the subjection of the Holy Spirit, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
