Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Can You Defend It Before God?

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 30 July 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Can You Defend It Before God?

TOPIC: Can You Defend It Before God? (Seeds Of Destiny 30 July 2024)

SCRIPTURE: For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:10

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Don’t do anything you cannot defend before God on the last day.

MESSAGE:

Someone once came to see me in my office. The reason he came to see me was that he wanted to divorce his wife. Everything I told him never to divorce his wife fell on deaf ears. He wanted me to approve or validate his decision to divorce his wife.

After analysing everything, of course, I realised that there are situations where men and women could be helpless.

In this particular situation, the man’s wife moved out of the house. And this man begged his wife several times not to move out, but she refused.

But when you, as a husband, blatantly say that you don’t want your wife again because of minor and trivial issues that can be resolved, it is not right.

So, after I finished talking to the man, and he refused to be convinced, I said to him, “Do everything you want to do, but be sure it is what you are ready to defend before God on the last day. If you were to meet God and told Him the reason you divorced your wife, and you are sure right now in your heart that God would accept the reason you gave, then you can go ahead and divorce her.”

That was how we concluded our meeting.

Beloved, in the same way, can you defend and justify your actions now before God when you meet him on the last day? Can you defend the lifestyle of drinking, smoking, fornication, cheating, stealing, lying, backbiting etc, before God? Will you stand before God and tell him the reason you aborted that baby, embezzled the money, engaged in ritual killing, womanized, broke people’s hearts or broke people’s homes?

Can you defend before God on the last day what you are doing today?

Don’t do anything you cannot defend before God on the last day.

Please do only what you can defend before God. Everything does not end here on earth.

Live your life with the consciousness of eternity; always remember that everything we do in this world will be accounted for in eternity. Living your life with the end in mind will discipline your behaviour and impart caution to your actions.

Remember this: Don’t do anything you cannot defend before God on the last day.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Don’t live as though life ends here in this world; live with the end in mind.
2. Live with the consciousness of eternity; let your behaviour, character and lifestyle be godly and Christ-like.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You help me never to live carelessly and worldly in this world. I receive the grace to live with the end in mind so I can live right, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: There can be no supernatural prosperity without financial integrity. A man or woman, who wants heaven to be involved in his or her endeavours, must have clean hands.
Culled from the book, “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Isaiah 46-48.

AMAZING FACT: All the planets in our Solar System orbit the Sun. This means they go around the Sun. Earth takes 365 days to orbit the sun which is why 365 days make a year.

PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive the grace to do only those things you can defend before God, in Jesus’ Name.
