Seed of Destiny Devotional 23 June 2019

TOPIC: THE LIFTER CALLED INTEGRITY Written By Dr. Paul Enenche

Integrity is a lifter of life and destiny. Integrity is a doorway to destiny fulfilment.

SCRIPTURE: There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? Genesis 39:9.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Righteousness is the secret of successful life and fulfilled destiny.

Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. Integrity connotes uprightness of character, and portrays a life of probity, rectitude and honour.

Seed of Destiny

Integrity is a lifter of life and destiny. Integrity is a doorway to destiny fulfilment. The scripture confirms this. One good example of men of integrity in scripture was Joseph. Integrity upheld the destiny of Joseph. His destiny could not be ruptured because he avoided iniquity and held unto righteousness. When in Genesis 39:9, he was tempted to commit immorality with Potiphar’s wife, he refused and said:

There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?

Hear him also, in Genesis 42:18:  ‘…This do, and live; for I fear God:’ Integrity lifted the life and destiny of Joseph. Righteousness is the secret of both a successful life and a fulfilled destiny.

We see another example of the lifting power of integrity in the scripture in the life of Daniel. Integrity upheld the destiny of Daniel. Concerning Daniel In the Book of Daniel 1:8, the Bible says, But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat. Daniel refused to defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat in order to secure a solid destiny. The fact is, everything that defiles your conscience denies your destiny.

In Daniel 6:1-4, the Bible makes it clear that Daniel was set above the princes because an excellent spirit was found in him. The princes became envious of his excellent life and tried to find occasion to accuse him but they could not find any. This was because no fault or error was found in him; integrity upheld the destiny of Daniel (Daniel 6:1-4).

Beloved, make up your mind to uphold integrity; live a life devoid of offense, both towards God and towards man.

Remember this: Righteousness is the secret of successful life and fulfilled destiny.

Psalm 141:1 – 10 (A Prayer for Preservation from Evil)

1 Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: [1] and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7 Our bones are scattered at the grave’s mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth.

8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O GOD the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave [2] not my soul destitute.

9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape. [3]

DUNAMIS DAILY DEVOTIONAL.

The Ministry of Becky Enenche alongside her husband, Dr. Paul Enenche also makes great impact with the ‘Seeds of Destiny,’ the monthly daily devotional publication designed to boost the Christian faith.

Becky Enenche is also the Director of Destiny academy and Destiny College owned by the Church. She is also the Director of Administration of Dunamis International Gospel Centre Abuja.

As an administrator and a religious leader, her ministry has immensely contributed positively to the growth, development and peace of the Nigerian government and people, as she counsels and impacts women leaders both at the Federal, State and grassroots levels.

Former Nigeria’s President, Goodluck Jonathan, during one of his visits to Dunamis International Gospel Centre, thanked Dr Paul Enenche and his wife Dr Becky Enenche for their consistent support and prayers for the administration and the country and urged the Dunamis family and Christians at large to continue praying for the nation. In the former President’s words according to Selah Afrik, ”I thank the pastor and his wife for their spiritual work for this nation. Scientific way of healing is not always enough, we need spiritual healing too. Even after any major operation, you are told to come for periodic check up, may be every three months because medical or scientific help is not always complete. Spiritual help is total”.
