Seeds of Destiny Saturday July 19, 2025, SOD Daily Devotional Message Written By Dr. Paul Enenche
SCRIPTURE: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 1 JOHN 5:4.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We are called to fight but destined to win.
Faith is a great mystery that looks complicated to many people, and so it must be decomplicated. For many people, the question is, what is faith? And how does it work? It is, therefore, crucial to understand the subject of faith because everything in life is by faith (Galatians 3:11). It is the mystery of faith that gives meaning to life. And until you understand the mystery of faith, you will live a life without meaning. A meaningless life, a life full of defeat, is a product of the lack of understanding of the mystery of faith.
In scripture, men who made history despite life’s battles were men who understood the mystery of faith. Abraham made history with God. Daniel, David, all the people mentioned in Hebrews Chapter Eleven were people who made history with God despite life’s many confrontations. They understood the mystery of faith. So, the understanding of the mystery of faith impacts meaning to life and causes people to make history despite the battles of life.
Now, on our journey to decomplicating the mystery of faith, let us look at what faith is.
Faith is making moves and taking steps based on scriptural insight, or insight from the Word of God, thus moving God to act in your situation and on your behalf. The move of man always provokes the move of God. When man moves God moves. When we move in line with His word, He moves to confirm His Word (Mark 16:20).
Men of faith are movers. They are people of action. As a man of faith, you make moves and take steps based on what God said. You take steps and make moves based on what you read from the Bible.
Now, note these facts about faith:
1. The Word of God is the most authentic foundation for faith. We understand by faith that the world was framed by the Word of God (Hebrews 11:3). And Romans 10:17 says, Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of God. So, the word of God is the most authentic foundation of faith.
2. Faith does not prevent battles. According to the Scripture, the just shall live by his faith (Habakkuk 2:4). That means, if the just must survive the battles of life, and make impact in life, faith is not negotiable. But it may surprise you to also know that faith does not prevent battles. Someone may say, “I do not have faith; that is why I am always confronted.” No! Faith does not prevent confrontations; it only gives the power to overcome confrontations and persistently dwell in the arena of victory.
No one overcomes without fighting. 1Timothy 6:12 says, fight the good fight of faith. So, anyone who is not ready for a fight is not ready for faith and victory. And the fight of faith is nothing but the confrontation of conviction; it is the enemy trying to challenge what you believe. Faith does not prevent battles or confrontations; it only guarantees victory in the face of battles and confrontations.
We are called to fight but destined to win. So, for a challenge or confrontation to rise against you is not evidence of lack of faith; it is bowing for defeat that is the evidence of lack of faith.
Beloved, I decree that you shall continue to triumph in every battle over your life. Arise in victory by the weapon of faith, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Remember this: We are called to fight but destined to win.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Refuse to be afraid of the battles of life.
2. Engage your faith and the Word of God in any battle confronting your life.
3. See your victory before you fight the battle.
PRAYER: Lord, I believe in the power of your Word for my victory in life. I decree the destruction of every enemy weapon fashioned against my life and destiny, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
