SEEDS OF DESTINY TUESDAY 20TH MAY 2025 DEVOTIONAL, SOD MESSAGE WRITTEN BY DR. PAUL ENENCHE
Seeds of Destiny Tuesday 20th May 2025 SOD Devotional Message
TOPIC: What Would Make You Sell Your Integrity?
SCRIPTURE: Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king’s chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her. Esther 2:15
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no character without discipline.
Our anchor scripture makes it clear that Esther was distinguished from the other virgins in the Persian Empire by character. When it came to Esther’s turn to meet the king, she required nothing but that which was provided.
The other virgins may be those who combined their virginity with vanity. But Esther was different. A person cannot walk with one leg in good and the other leg in wrong and call it character. A repented prostitute has more respect than a rebellious virgin. Beauty without character is like a beautiful car without engine.
There are people who cannot be tempted with alcohol, but their integrity will be questioned if you bring money around them.
I heard the story of a beautiful young lady who vowed that she would not fall for any man. Then a terrible man asked people, “What does she love?” and they told him, “She loves white cars.” So, the man bought a brand-new white car, top of the range, latest model, and put two hundred dollars in the pigeonhole of the car. He sent someone to drive the car to the lady on her birthday.
When she saw the car, she screamed, “What! On my birthday? Are there people who can give anyone a gift like this? Please I need to see the person who gave me this gift.” She drove the car by herself to the man’s house, but the man’s security told her at the gate, “The man does not want to see anyone. He only gave you the gift free of charge, no need to see him. No strings attached.”
But you see, the man used that gesture to make a statement to the lady, that, “If you have not yet said, YES, it is because the price has not yet been paid.”
Beloved, there is no character without discipline. So, what is it that you cannot resist in your life? Watch it because the devil does not mind paying any price to reach you if he knows the price.
But I declare today that the devil will not pay any price on your head, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: There is no character without discipline.
ASSIGNMENT (S):
- Maintain a lifestyle of discipline and integrity.
- Keep your spirit man charged by living a life of prayer, study of the Word and deep fellowship with God.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to live a life of discipline. I refuse to compromise. Help me Lord to follow your ways of righteousness and uprightness, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Psalm 34-36
QUOTE: God stands by those who stand for Him. Culled from the book, Who Are You by Dr Paul Enenche.
AMAZING FACT: Light takes time to reach the Earth. For instance, sunlight takes about 8.5 minutes to reach the Earth’s surface. So, when you look at a star, what you actually see is how it was in the past.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive a fresh grace and discipline to say, NO to wrong and YES to right in Jesus Name.
