Seeds of Destiny 9th July 2025 – SOD MESSAGE

Sometime ago, someone died in the eastern part of Nigeria, and as they were burying him, a mad man stood and said, ‘Hold on! See his car, put the car in the grave too; let it follow him. Don’t bury only him; put his properties in the grave too. Amazingly, the mad man was preaching a message.

The truth is, no matter how rich you are, it has never been possible for a man to go to eternity with even a dime. Job says in Job 1:21, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: If a man had no relationship with God before his death, he only wasted his lifetime.

Beloved, take note of these three things.

1. Anyone whose only hope is in this life is a most miserable person. No wonder, Paul the apostle says in 1Corinthians 15:19, If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. This implies that anyone whose life only centres around the things of this life is a miserable person. A multi-millionaire, a billionaire, president of a country, or governor of a state whose hope is only centred in this world, is a miserable person. He is miserable because he is hoping in a system that is doomed to crash and marked for demolition.

2. Anyone whose affection is centred on the things of this world is living a life of waste. A person whose affection is only for the things of this life is living a life of waste. A person who is married to the things of this life will acquire eternal frustration.

3. Anyone whose investment is only directed at earthly materials is investing into demolition. Show me a man whose investment, energy, and time are only in this world, I will show you a man who is investing into a system that is marked for demolition.

Beloved, refuse to channel your affection only on the things of this world that will one day fade away. Let your investment be towards God and eternal matters because one day, eternity shall start for all, both great and small.

Remember this: Anyone whose only hope is in this life is the most miserable person.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Keep your affection on Christ and on eternal matters, not on the things of this world.
2. Ask God to keep you permanently hungry for Him.

PRAYER: Lord, draw me closer to You each day. Help me to invest in things that have eternal values as I fulfil my purpose on earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
