🍇SEEDS OF DESTINY🔥
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE (DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTER)

TOPIC: BLESSED TO SERVE BETTER
SCRIPTURE: And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. EXODUS 23:25.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God blesses His children so they can be positioned better to serve Him.
It has been established that a major purpose of God’s Blessing is service to God and humanity. God blesses His children so they can be positioned better to serve Him. This is because poverty is a distraction.
Exodus 23:25 says,
And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
So, the blessing of God provides supernatural supply that can be conveniently combined with the worship and service of God. When God blesses you, you should not come to a point of influence where you become too big to come to church or serve God.
When God blesses you and you come to a point where you become too big to serve Him, you have decided to cut yourself off from the Source of that Blessing.
There are people who have stopped going to church because of the little money God gave to them. With that little money, the man decided to marry two additional wives, and get three girl friends; and he can relate with all the girls at the same time.
One of his wives may be in Paris, the second one in London and the third one in New York. Imagine that! He is managing three homes in three different countries situated on two different continents at the same time.
On the other hand, there are people who God has blessed abundantly, but they have refused to allow the blessing to become a hindrance to their service to God. There are brothers in church who are very rich, yet, continue to stand in church to serve God as ushers.
My counsel is, do not allow the Blessing of God to be a hindrance to your service to God.
Remember this: God blesses His children so they can be positioned better to serve Him.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to make the blessing of God in your life a hindrance to your serving God.
2. Make up your mind to press harder into God as He blesses you. Use the blessing of God to serve God and humanity better.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace not to fall into the temptation of turning my back on You when you bless me. Help me to use Your Blessing in my life for Your service and the service of humanity, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: God says He will command the blessing on all that you set your hand to do. You do have to be a faithful employee, but do not die with salary as your only source of income. Culled from the book, “21 Keys To Financial Overflow” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: 1 Thessalonians 4-2 Thessalonians 1
