🍒🌽DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE.

TOPIC: THE GAME OF LIFE.
SCRIPTURE: And athletes cannot win the prize unless they follow the rules. 2 Timothy 2:5, NLT
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: How you live determines whether you will win or lose in life.
I had a very painful experience on Christmas day in 1994 while on call duty at a Teaching Hospital as a young medical doctor. A young man was brought in dead.
Now, what happened? He had an accident while riding a motorcycle in the night on that Christmas day. The motorcycle had no light, it had no brakes and he was drunk. Such a reckless and disastrous game. Maybe he played such a game before and won but not on that day.
He rode straight and had head-on collision with an oncoming Mercedes car and died on the spot. He was brought to the Accident and Emergency ward smelling of alcohol. That is, he drank liquid hell on earth to assist him to end in hellfire in eternity. He was wheeled straight to the mortuary. He played the game of life recklessly and lost; his game ended in a loss, an irredeemable earthly and eternal loss. He lost in time and then lost eternally in eternity.
Beloved, life is a game; it is a game like a football game. How you live determines whether you will win or lose in life. Living determines winning or losing. The way we live determines our victory or defeat. Whatever we do in life is a transaction. Esau lived to lose. Jacob lived to win. For the satisfaction of his appetite, Esau sold his birth right, got a day’s meal and lost the right of a lifetime and a generational covenant heritage.
Many times, people try to gain something and lose something else. Imagine a person getting infected with HIV due to reckless immoral living. The question is, did the pleasure the person got justify the HIV?
Beloved, life is a game. As we live, we are playing a game. My counsel is, play to win, not to lose. Live to win, not to lose. Do the things that will make you a winner, not what will make you a loser in time and a loser in eternity.
REMEMBER THIS: How you live determines whether you will win or lose in life.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Answer yourself: How am I living? Am I going to win or lose at the end of time?
2. Make demands on God’s help for daily upright living.
3. Take out some time from your schedule and go on a periodic fast to deepen your intimacy with God.
PRAYER: Lord, I take up the Cross, let it crucify the flesh. Let it be no longer I that live; let Christ Jesus live in and through me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
