Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 12 February 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche:
TOPIC: The Price For The Top
SCRIPTURE: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, Philippians 3:13.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: It is one thing to desire to go up and it is another thing to be willing to pay the price.
MESSAGE:
Many years ago, when I was in the university as a student of medicine, I told the Lord, “I want to see Your Power. I want to experience You to the highest level a human being can experience You and still live in the flesh.”
I prayed this prayer because I knew that there was a point you could go with God and disappear like Enoch. I want to experience God in the highest way and still live in the flesh to fulfil my earthly assignment.
I asked God to show me what it takes to get there. Beloved, it is one thing to desire to go up and it is another thing to be willing to pay the price to rise to the top.
I told God, “Even if I have to come to the point of putting on only singlet, and I have nothing else, I am ready to pay the price to experience the best of You Lord.”
Beloved, you must understand that no one stands out in life by chance; no one becomes outstanding or excellent by mistake. Every form of greatness comes with a price to pay.
If you see someone standing out in life, they are not standing out by chance. If you see anyone standing out in life, that person made the decision and went ahead to pay the price to stand out.
God’s servant, Bishop David Oyedepo, once said that when he stepped into full-time ministry, he vowed that he would live out the meaning of the word, “full-time” in Ministry.
He said, “Fulltime means full length; no one doing part-time Ministry would see my brake light.”
He also said, “Anywhere preachers reach in this world, I will reach.”
You see, this is the kind of decision that takes people to the top. It is not sitting down and thinking that what will be will be.
REMEMBER THIS: It is and one thing to desire to go up and it is another thing to be willing to pay the price.
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Make up your mind to know and be willing to pay the price to go up in life.
2. Shun the lifestyle of laziness and idleness.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to embrace the willingness to pay the price to go up in life. Show me the price that will take me up to the top, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
