THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is only those who go all the way with God that can see the best of God and the best of life.
Seeds of Destiny 25 August 2024 Devotional: SOD MESSAGE:
Dedication to God is the roadmap to fruitfulness and ultimate fulfilment in life. All the people who were used by God in Scriptures and even in contemporary times were men who were truly dedicated to God.
Now, dedication to God entails seeking God first, and above all things (Matthew 6:33).
In our study today I would like to highlight two categories of people as far as dedication is concerned. And these are:
i. The Averagely Dedicated People
This is the group of people that try their best to be upright and spiritual, but are not willing to pay the price to go all the way with Jesus. They wouldn’t risk anything for God. They may try to pray, but they would not take their prayer life too seriously. They would not take their fasting too far; they just pray and fast moderately.
ii. The Extremely Dedicated People.
This is a group of people are ready to go all the way with God, and so, they see the best of God. I will illustrate this group by looking at the story of David and his mighty men who risked their lives to bring water for him to drink.
In 2 Samuel 23:15-17, David wanted to drink water from the well of Jerusalem which was by the city gate. And to get this water, someone must break through the camp of the Philistines. So, David’s mighty men took this risk. They endangered their lives, broke through the camp of the enemy and got the water for David, their master.
Beloved, God is looking for people who can go all the way with Him to quench His Thirst and Longing.
Beloved, among the two categories of people mentioned above, which do you belong? Are you an averagely dedicated Christian or a brutally dedicate one? Are you ready to go all the way with God? Are you ready to risk your life to satisfy the longings of God?
God wants you to go all the way with Him. It is only those who go all the way with God that can see the best of God and the best of life.
Remember this: It is only those who go all the way with God that can see the best of God and the best of life.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to be an average Christian.
2. Make up your mind to go all the way with God.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that you deliver me from the spell and indecision and average Christian living. I receive the grace and discipline to go all the way with You, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FUTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: BRUTAL DEDICATION
QUOTE: It is also important to uphold godly character because we live in a time when the dividing line between the church and the world has disappeared. Culled from the book, “Who Are You?” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Ezekiel 1-3.
AMAZING FACT: Bats are the only flying mammals.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive fresh fire of dedication in Jesus’ Name.
