Seed of Destiny WRITTEN BY PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE.

Our Topic today: Godly Character – A. Weapon Of Defense.

Today's SCRIPTURE: By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left.
2nd Corinthians chapter 6 verse 7.

Our Thought For The Day: Godly character is an amour. It is a weapon of defense against the adversary.

Sometime ago, I heard a story of someone who was sitting in between two friends at an alcoholic joint drinking. When they were done drinking, they said to him, “Can we move?” But surprisingly, he could not move anymore. He could not stand. Eventually, it was confirmed that life had left him.

When a postmortem investigation was carried out to ascertain the cause of his death, it was discovered that he died of poison, his drink was poisoned, possibly by one of the friends that he was drinking with. He died at the frequency of his passion for alcohol. What a sad story!

Obviously, he was at the wrong place doing the wrong thing with the wrong people and consequently met a wrong fate. He was not in church, and it was not Holy Communion he was drinking. No one would have put poison in a cup of Holy Communion for him to drink, and even if that was the case, it would have returned to the sender. It was alcohol, liquid hell that they laced with poison, and he drank it and reported straight in hell.

Meanwhile, a godly man took concentrated hydrochloric acid from the fridge and drank it, thinking it was water and nothing happened to him. Of course, hydrochloric acid is as transparent as water. He drank it before realizing that it was not water. Someone who saw him drinking it screamed, “Ah! You just drank acid.” He shouted by faith, “No! It cannot be acid. I just drank water.” And true to his audacious declaration, it turned into water in his body by the amour of righteousness and faith.

Beloved, godly character is an amour. It is a weapon of defense against the adversary. Righteousness is an amour; it is a weapon of both defense and offence. That is why Ephesians 6:14 says, Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. So, righteousness is an amour. That is why when that amour is out of place, there is a challenge (Ecclesiastes chapter 10 verse 8).

Beloved, anything that is pushing you into compromise is pulling off your shield and weapon of defense. Keep your righteousness intact, it is your amour.

Remember this: Godly character is an amour. It is a weapon of defense against the adversary.

Take this ASSIGNMENTS with you:
#1. Say ‘No’ to the lifestyle of compromise and sin.

#2. Ask God for mercy and repent promptly if you have compromised in any way. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Lord, I receive the grace to live in righteousness. Thank You for the preservation of my life, family and destiny, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen hallelujah.

Today's DAILY BIBLE READING: from the book of Psalm chapter 79 to 81.

We start with psalm chapter 79, O god, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. How long, Lord? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name's sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations. Hallelujah.

Psalm chapter 80, Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. O Lord God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. Turn us again, O Lord God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. Hallelujah.

Psalm chapter 81, Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. So I gave them up unto their own hearts' lust: and they walked in their own counsels. Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. The haters of the Lord should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee. Hallelujah!
