OVERVIEW (FROM APRIL 2017 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY
DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE) SCRIPTURE: And these are they which are sown
among thorns; such as hear the word, And the
cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches,
and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the
word, and it becometh unfruitful. Mark 4:18-19 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is possible to use money
to serve God, but you cannot serve God and
money. One of the weapons of the devil to weaken a man’s
faith in God is distractions. Satan would attempt to
distract a man from his vision especially if he is
focused on God. There are many things that distract a person from
following God. One of those things is the cares of
this world. A life that is filled with the cares of the
world is a life that is passionate for vanity and
passionless for spirituality. Note that, the cares of the world are the enemies of
true spirituality. The pursuit for the latest fashions
and fads of this life, the craving to belong and the
struggle for the things that this world has to offer
are the enemies of true spirituality. Our anchor
Scripture talks about the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and the lust for other
things. Lust is an inordinate affection for that which we are
not licensed to get. It is possible to use money to
serve God, but you cannot serve God and money.
It is possible to master the things of this world and
it is possible to be mastered by the things of this
world. Beloved, be focused on God despite the
distractions in the world. Remember this: It is possible to use money to serve
God, but you cannot serve God and money. ASSIGNMENT:
Refuse to have your passion and affection centred
on the transient vanities of this life because
everything we see will fade away someday. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE:
