11TH JULY 2024 SEED OF DESTINY WRITTEN BY PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE, FROM DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE.

THURSDAY 11TH JULY 2024.

Today's TOPIC: POSSESSING YOUR INHERITANCE BY A FIGHTING SPIRIT.

SCRIPTURE: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11 verse 12.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

Jacob was a patriarch in Scripture who walked with God. He lived such an exemplary life that made him a good example to follow. He knew the God of his grandfather, Abraham and of his father, Isaac. He also inherited the Blessing of Abraham.

Now, one secret of Jacob was a fighting spirit. Jacob was a fighter per excellence. He was the second child of Isaac after Esau. At a point in his life, he realized that his future was bleak because the Abrahamic covenant blessing on his father, Isaac, was going to be passed on to Esau. This realization made him fight his way into possessing the Blessing.

He sat down and thought, “I cannot watch and be rendered useless in this family.” Along the line, he observed how careless and profane his brother, Esau, was. So, he went ahead and negotiated with Esau and “fightfully” took the birth-right. After that, he went for the Blessing, and took it.

Thus, Jacob got the Covenant Blessing through the engagement of a fighting Spirit.

It did not stop there; 21 years later, he wrestled with an angel for a change of identity.

The angel told him, “Let me go, for the day breaketh”
But he said, “I can’t let you go, unless you bless me. I don’t know when I will see you again. Let us fight it out now.” (Paraphrased).

So, he fought with the angel and his name was changed from Jacob to Israel. Jacob is a person, but Israel is a nation. God seemed to have told him, “You are no more a person; you are now a nation.”

Beloved, if you are willing to fight in the realm of the spirit, God will change your story and identity. It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

Remember this: It takes a fighting spirit to change your situation and enlarge your capacity.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Like Jacob, make up your mind to engage the fighting spirit to possess your God-given inheritance.
#2. Persist with God until your change comes. Yes sir!

Today's PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to persist with You until I prevail in life. I receive a fresh baptism of the fighter’s spirit, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Today's DAILY READING: from Ecclesiastes 9 to chapter 11.
We start with Ecclesiastes chapter 9, There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man. Then I said:“Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man’s wisdom is despised,And his words are not heard. Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war;But one sinner destroys much good.” This wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and it seemed great to me: For man also does not know his time:Like fish taken in a cruel net,Like birds caught in a snare,So the sons of men are snared in an evil time,When it falls suddenly upon them. I returned and saw under the sun that—The race is not to the swift,Nor the battle to the strong,Nor bread to the wise,Nor riches to men of understanding,Nor favor to men of skill;But time and chance happen to them all. Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun. Go, eat your bread with joy,And drink your wine with a merry heart;For God has already accepted your works. Let your garments always be white,And let your head lack no oil. Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished;Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun. For the living know that they will die;But the dead know nothing,And they have no more reward,For the memory of them is forgotten. But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion. This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead. All things come alike to all:One event happens to the righteous and the wicked;To the good, the clean, and the unclean;To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice.As is the good, so is the sinner;He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath. For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them. Hallelujah!
Ecclesiastes 10, Dead flies putrefy the perfumer’s ointment,And cause it to give off a foul odor;So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor. A wise man’s heart is at his right hand,But a fool’s heart at his left. Even when a fool walks along the way,He lacks wisdom,And he shows everyone that he is a fool. If the spirit of the ruler rises against you,Do not leave your post;For conciliation pacifies great offenses. There is an evil I have seen under the sun,As an error proceeding from the ruler: Folly is set in great dignity,While the rich sit in a lowly place. I have seen servants on horses,While princes walk on the ground like servants. He who digs a pit will fall into it,And whoever breaks through a wall will be bitten by a serpent. He who quarries stones may be hurt by them,And he who splits wood may be endangered by it. If the ax is dull,And one does not sharpen the edge,Then he must use more strength;But wisdom brings success. A serpent may bite when it is not charmed;The babbler is no different. The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious,But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up; The words of his mouth begin with foolishness,And the end of his talk is raving madness. A fool also multiplies words.No man knows what is to be;Who can tell him what will be after him? The labor of fools wearies them,For they do not even know how to go to the city! Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child,And your princes feast in the morning! Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles,And your princes feast at the proper time—For strength and not for drunkenness! Because of laziness the building decays,And through idleness of hands the house leaks. A feast is made for laughter,And wine makes merry;But money answers everything. Do not curse the king, even in your thought;Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom;For a bird of the air may carry your voice,And a bird in flight may tell the matter, hallelujah!
Ecclesiastes chapter 11,
Give a serving to seven, and also to eight,For you do not know what evil will be on the earth. Cast your bread upon the waters,For you will find it after many days. If the clouds are full of rain,They empty themselves upon the earth;And if a tree falls to the south or the north,In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie. He who observes the wind will not sow,And he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know what is the way of the wind,Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child,So you do not know the works of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed,And in the evening do not withhold your hand;For you do not know which will prosper,Either this or that,Or whether both alike will be good. Truly the light is sweet,And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun; But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all,Yet let him remember the days of darkness,For they will be many.All that is coming is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in your youth,And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth;Walk in the ways of your heart,And in the sight of your eyes;But know that for all theseGod will bring you into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from your heart,And put away evil from your flesh,For childhood and youth are vanity. Hallelujah.
