SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR PAUL ENENCHE.
FRIDAY 17th November 2023
TOPIC: WHO ARE YOU?
SCRIPTURE: And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? ACTS 19:15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Beloved, who are you? What sound is your life making?
Many years ago, while I was a student in the medical school,
I remember one day, one of our evangelism teams went on an outreach to the psychiatric ward of a teaching hospital to preach and pray for the sick.
In that ward, a mad man saw one of our sisters in the team and said to her, “Other people are coming here for evangelism and pray for the sick and you are coming too?”
You see, we didn’t know exactly what he meant, but the kingdom of darkness was aware of who the sister truly was.
The demoniac said to the seven sons of Sceva,
…Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
Acts 19:15
Beloved, who are you?
What sound is your life making?
You say, “I’m born again; I’m filled with the Holy Ghost; I am a firebrand” but the kingdom of darkness is saying something else about your life. Who are you?
Now, another point to note is that the sound or voice of your life determines your welfare both in time and in eternity. How you fare on earth is determined by what is being heard from your life.
Concerning Elisha, the shunammite woman said,
“I perceive that this man that passeth by us continually is a holy man of God; let us build him a house.” 2 Kings 4:9.
In essence, she seemed to say, “Whenever this man of God passes, I smell holiness; whenever this man passes, I hear holy, holy, holy; so, let’s build him a house.”
Just imagine that whenever Elisha passed by, the woman heard: “Filthiness! Filthiness! Filthiness! Thief! Thief! Thief!” they would probably have called the police to investigate him.
Beloved, it is important to know that the sound or voice of your life determines your welfare, both in time and in eternity.
REMEMBER THIS: The sound or voice of your life determines your welfare both in time and in eternity.
