Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Distance From God – Disaster In Character

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 29 May 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Distance From God – Disaster In Character

TOPIC: Distance From God – Disaster In Character (Seeds Of Destiny 29 May 2024)

SCRIPTURE: So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life. Genesis 3:24.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Distance from God brings out the worst of man.

MESSAGE:

Many years ago, a young man came to see me in tears. And his reason for coming to see me was repentance; he wanted to repent.

Now, what happened? Why did he want to repent?
He said he was seeing people tormenting him in the dream. He said they were hounding and haunting him with the demand: “Give us back our body parts.” They even mentioned the various body parts he took from them.

The young man in question was a ritual killer. He had killed many people and sold their body parts.

It was like the spirits of the people whose body parts he took were tormenting him in the dream and so he could not rest nor sleep in the night. The same devil that sent him to kill people came back to torment him in the dream of the night using the spirits of the people he killed.

Do you see how wicked the devil is?

This young man was very distant from God. He fraternised with Satan and inherited disaster.
The lesson here is: distance from God leads to disastrous character and calamitous life.

Genesis 3:24 says,
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

When people move away from the Presence of God, they begin to manifest character that is disastrous.

That is where you see lovelessness and wickedness at its peak.

You see the peak of hatred and other negative extremes of human behaviour when a man pulls away from God. Distance from God brings out the worst of man.

Remember this: Distance from God brings out the worst of man.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Make up your mind not to go away from God.
2. Draw nearer to God at the place of prayer and the Word so He can draw nearer to you.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to draw nearer to You. Reveal Yourself to me Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: The reason why many of us cannot believe God is because it is not easy to believe a stranger.
It is not easy to trust someone you are not close to. It is not easy to trust someone you do not have a relationship with. Culled from the book, “15 Kingdom Strategies for Survival” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Psalm 61-63.
