Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 19 March 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Root Of All Evil

TOPIC: The Root Of All Evil (Seeds Of Destiny 19 March 2024)

SCRIPTURE: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 1 Timothy 6:10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Many people envy those who are rich without knowing the source of their wealth.

MESSAGE:

Sometime ago, I travelled to South America for a preaching engagement. After preaching, a young man who is a Nigerian met me and said, “Pastor, please pray for me for a breakthrough in life.”

When I asked him what specifically I should pray for him about,
he said, “I am about to travel with a cargo; I need prayer so I can cross successfully.”

When I asked further questions about the content of the cargo, he said, “Sir, you should understand.” Then I looked at him and knew that he was about trafficking some prohibited substance. I was face-to-face with a drug dealer.

Imagine the world we are living in! He was asking me to pray for him so he could successfully transport harmful drugs from one country to another without being caught. He met the wrong person. Probably, he must have met a man of God who prayed for him in the past and he succeeded in the evil business.

I looked at him and told him, “You are the kind of people that soil the image of Nigeria and Nigerians all over the world.” The only thing I felt like doing at that time was to release a curse for putting us in bad light.

You see, because of people like this man, the world sees Nigerians as drug dealers and corrupt people. Many of this kind of persons have been deported because of evil practices like high level fraud, drug trafficking or other drug-related offences.
Many people envy those who are rich without knowing the source of their wealth. Many people envy those who drive flashy cars, but little did they know that the money used in buying those cars are evil or corrupt money.

Beloved, do not envy anyone until you know their full story. Many times, there are secrets and unpleasant stories behind people who appear flashy and flamboyant.

REMEMBER THIS: Many people envy those who are rich without knowing the source of their wealth.

ASSIGNMENTS:

Refuse to stain your name or the name of your family by crooked practices.
Esteem a good name more than riches.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to treasure a good name and upright living above filthy lucre. Deliver me from falling into the temptation of evil money, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: When you look for money for your own purpose, the struggle continues, but whenever you tie the purpose of God to your pursuit of money, then the struggle is over. Culled from the book, “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: 2 Kings 13-15.

AMAZING FACT: Asian elephants have one more toenail on each foot than African elephants. Asian elephants have five toenails on the front feet and four on the back feet, while African elephants have four on the front and three on the back.
