🍒🌽SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE
DATE: WEDNESDAY JULY 10TH, 2024
TOPIC: CONFRONTING EVIL WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS
SCRIPTURE: The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion. And what is the lion? PROVERBS 28:1.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Godly character imparts audacity and boldness.
Many years ago, I went to one of the states in Nigeria to preach.
An elderly judge came to see me. He told me that he was presiding over a case; it was a case of homicide. The killer or the accused was obviously guilty as charged. This judge was, therefore, pressing the case to charge the guilty person.
The defendant had tried to induce him in order to influence the judgement, but he refused. So, the defendant and his people went diabolical against the judge.
Beloved, this is why everyone in civil or public service needs the fire and protection of God.
The judge said that whenever he went to court and that particular case was called, his hands would start vibrating and he would start shaking.
So, he came to me and said, “Pastor, I need prayer. I want you to pray for me because I have been a judge for almost thirty years. And if I have taken one naira as bribe to influence any case, let their evil work of diabolism prevail against me. But if I have not taken a dime as bribe to influence any case in the course of my entire career, then they would fail.”
That was the audacity or the boldness of positive character. Godly character imparts audacity and boldness. It empowers you to confront every evil and devil working against your life.
When you are upright, you can be bold enough to deal with witches and wizards, and all of the forces of darkness.
Please understand that guilt punctures confidence.
Beloved, receive the grace to maintain godly character that can give you such audacity in the name of Jesus Christ.
Remember this: Godly character imparts audacity and boldness.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Maintain upright character as a weapon to confront the ills and evil of the society.
2. Refuse to deflate your audacity and authority by the lifestyle of iniquity.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to confront the evil of this generation by the lifestyle and garment of purity. Help me never to be involved in anything that will deflate my audacity and confidence, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Integrity compels audacity and iniquity invites calamity. Culled from the book, “15 Kingdom Strategies for survival” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Ecclesiastes 6-8.
AMAZING FACT: Although the sun looks like a giant from Earth, it is still around 94.5 million miles away! That is 400 times farther than the distance between the moon and the Earth.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive grace to uphold godly character in Jesus’ Name.
