Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 19 January 2025 Devotional By Pastor Dr. Paul Enenche and Pastor Dr. Mrs. Becky Enenche Topic: The Consequence Of Character

SCRIPTURE: And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, and the silver, and the garment, and the wedge of gold, and his sons, and his daughters, and his oxen, and his asses…
… And all Israel stoned him with stones, and burned them with fire, after they had stoned them with stones. Joshua 7:24-25

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Character has consequences; both negative and positive character have consequences.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

The spirit of greed and materialism is a major hindrance to an enviable destiny. When greed or materialism is at work in a life, destiny cannot be fulfilled. It was greed and materialism that cut short the life of Achan.

When the children of Israel entered to possess Jericho Achan saw a Babylonish garment and could not refrain from taking it. He took what he was not licensed to take.

What was the consequence?

He did not only die, but his sin also caused the death of his family members. The people brought him out with his sons and daughters and all his properties, stoned them to death and set them on fire.

The lesson to learn from here is that ungodly character does not only affect the ungodly person; it also affects the people around him.

You see, character has consequences; both negative and positive character have consequences.

Some people had been favoured in life because they were related to people of positive character. And some people had died, not because they committed any sin, but because they associated with people of negative character.

This is the reason why when an armed robber is on a watch list, security agents also look for his friends and family members to arrest. Achan’s sin implicated the lives and destinies of his family members.

Beloved, refuse to die or jeopardize the lives of people around you because of negative character. Rather, live right and let your upright living be a blessing to people around you.

Remember this: Character has consequences; both negative and positive character have consequences.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Always ask God to purge you of any negative lifestyle.
2. Give yourself to prayer and the study of the Word so you can maintain positive character.

PRAYER: Father, I ask that You deliver me from the sin of greed and materialism. Help me not to be cut short in life like Achan, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Research shows that anything you consistently do daily for twenty-one to thirty days becomes a habit. Once it is your habit, it can become your character. Once it is in your character, it can affect your destiny. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Leviticus 1-5.

AMAZING FACT: Elephants communicate using low-frequency sounds called infrasound.

DECLARATION/WORD: Be delivered from any negative character that has the capacity to negatively affect both your life and those of others in Jesus
