Interesting15: Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(2nd November, 2024)*
by *Sunday Akanni*
TOPIC: What Was The Best Gift You Have Received Since You Were Born?
James 1:17 NKJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
*Message*
The best gifts a person on earth must have received must be eternal in nature (such gifts must have eternity significance) and not subjected to degradation by the corruption of this temporal imperfect world.
The best gifts I've received since I was born were from God, characterized by eternal relevance (in other words, the gifts have eternity significance).
The best gifts I received from the LORD were eternal life, served on the platform of His pure Love through faith in Christ Jesus, activated by the Holy Ghost. It opened the doors to several other divine gifts, including His ever soothing Presence that refreshes me and makes me immune from the pangs of this worn-out earth, as well as other spiritual gifts to be empowered for the work of ministry and promote the beautiful agenda of His glorious kingdom.
Let me show you the significance of these gifts.
John 3:16 says - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
First, God had offered to an undeserving world the gift of His pure Love.
Take note of the fact that sin redesigned the destiny of the earth and its inhabitants to go the way of doom and perishing.
There are two folds of perishing:
1. Perishing On Earth Characterized by continuous degradation of the quality of life, and being weak to become all that one has been destined to be. Look around your society, many folks are perishing under the burdens of sin, satan, self, sickness, poverty, death, hell, and other negative stuff.
2. Perishing Into Eternity Once a person dies without doing the needful (making things right with God and accepting His offer of love), such will use his or her own legs to embrace the paths of perishing in hell and the lake of fire burning with brimstone (Revelation 19:20; 20:10, 15).
God's Gift Of Eternal Life
The antidote of having to settle for the ugly paths of perishing on earth and into eternity is being injected with eternal life, through faith in Christ Jesus.
*Eternal life is the very life of God, and its composition is eternally potent to make you live above self, sin, satan, sickness, poverty, hell, curses, etc.*
What better gift is there to these?
*Prayers* Ask the LORD to help you position yourself for an outpouring of His blessings today.

This, is how you die Ferreting for the next high Walking down the rising tides Blotted out your eyes and mind It is awful music; the learned advice Punch the next button and smile Only in height surpass a child Knot in a rudderless life This, is how you die
Confirmedzombie: This is not a good move. The robbery at that slaughter is something else.
He can recover the lNd from wike but not return the market.
Security is a major challenge in that Roundabout area leading to Slumberger. I saw that they are building wooden shed in the market. That place will be so crowdy now.
tonye33: Following the petition of Oginigba people, on how the immediate past governor of Rivers State and current Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike had more than a year ago cordoned off parts of the community land and used it for his HyperCity Shopping mall, thereby denying the people of Oginigba the right to their ancestral land which they have been using as a market place for many years.
And in line with our plans to enhance economic drive in Obio/Akpor Local Government, we have reopened the Oginigba market and handed it over to the people of Oginigba who are the original owners to continue with their trading and add economic value to the local government.
I will be meeting with the leadership of Oginigba people next week to constitute market committee that will effectively manage the market.
Ride on, the Youthful chairman of Obio Akpor. Ihunwo is working
Glimpsetv: A Nigerian lady who introduced herself as Imeh Mary Beauty, a 21-year-old from Akwa Ibom, took to her Instagram handle to plead with Nigerians to help her book a flight, even if it's just from Lagos to Abuja, before her international passport expires. She explained that she has never flown on an airplane before.
Holding her international passport in her hands, she called on popular Nigerian bloggers like Tunde Ednut, YabaLeft, and others for assistance. She said, "This passport is about to expire, and I have never traveled by air before. Please help me book a flight. I am very hardworking; I can clean, I can cook, I can knack, and I can even be your side chick or second wife."
Showing off her passport and travel bags, she added, "I got this passport for ₦100k and bought these bags for ₦40k. Please, Nigerians, help me. I am single, not in any relationship, and I am hardworking."

Yes, Goodluck Jonathan made Nyesom Wike a minister upon nomination by ex-Gov. Rotimi Amaechi and later made him State Governor in a political fight against Amaechi but he is FUNDAMENTALLY a product of Peter Odili political factory.
He like Rotimi Amaechi, Austin Opara, Uche Secondus, Magnus Abe, Felix Obuah and host of others were the members of the then Odili Restoration Family Team.
ubest1: If you can remember the former AAC candidate Biokpomabo Awara, who almost outplayed Wike in 2019 gov election you will understand why SIM is most dangerous after serving under all past Rivers gov's.
Presently PDP is protesting in Rivers state for election postponement but with the two day holiday given no court meaning PDP won't have candidates in Saturday election why SIM men in APP will all win and return to PDP after election.
Yes, in PHALGA, Ichemati of APP will win on Saturday. He is tested and trusted.
richmond500: Fubara is paying pension now, Fubara pays corp members, state and LGA workers now have promotion. There is trans-kalabari road which runs from Obia-akpor to almost every ijaw town giving rise to more cities. Wike only built flyovers across Obia-akpor and did few ring roads. He is all media hype to be honest. We in Rivers state knows it
So true, Fubara is doing well On Saturday 5th October, we will vote for Ichemati as chairman of PHALGA/ Mayor of Port Harcourt.

Gistmedia10: Moesha Boduoung, once at the pinnacle of Ghana’s slayqueen scene, is now facing a harsh reality. Known for her extravagant lifestyle, she flaunted her body enhancements, luxury vacations, and connections with high-profile celebrities, including Wizkid. Moesha was the definition of opulence, frequently boasting about dating wealthy men, undergoing multiple body surgeries, and enjoying lavish trips to Dubai.
However, her glittering facade has since crumbled. In a shocking twist, Moesha is reportedly struggling to raise $10,000 for a medical procedure. Even more surprising, it was revealed that she suffered a stroke, leaving her partially paralyzed. Moesha was recently spotted in a church seeking spiritual intervention for her condition, a far cry from the once-glamorous figure who dominated social media with her lavish lifestyle.
Fans and well-wishers have expressed their support for her recovery, hoping that this difficult chapter of her life will soon pass.
