DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 15TH JULY, 2025 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: LIVING WITH ETERNITY IN VIEW

SCRIPTURE: The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night… 2 PETER 3:9-10.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The end of earthly life on earth is the beginning of an endless life in eternity.

Genesis 1:27 makes it clear that man is an eternal being made in the Image and Likeness of an eternal God. The meaning of that is, everyone you see will live forever. To further buttress this, James 4:14 reveals that man’s life on earth is a temporary adventure, just a fraction of man’s overall life.

So, man’s life on earth is a temporary adventure. This implies that the end of earthly life is the beginning of an endless life in eternity. (Daniel 12:2). And it is to in 8 to to to either an everlasting life with God in Heaven or an everlasting contempt with satan in hell. The truth is, God does not desire for anyone to be lost in hell; rather, He desires for people to live with Him forever in heaven after their sojourn in the earth. In other words, God is not looking for whom to send to hell.

It is possible to hear some messages that sounds as if God’s satisfaction is how many people can end in hell. Scriptures make it clear that hell was not created for man (Matthew 25:41). Hell was prepared for the devil and his angels. It is only those who reject Christ and decide to end with the devil that will follow him to hell.66y But the point is, God has no desire for the loss of any soul (2 Peter 3:8-9).

Now, wisdom demands that we pay attention to our eternal destination, the place where we will spend the bulk of our lives.

That is why today, we are looking at what it means to live with eternity in view.

1. It is living in the present with the end in mind. Living in the present with the end in perspective (1Peter 4:7). You are alive today, but the end is in your mind.

2. It means living and conducting our life’s actions with eternity as a major consideration. Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter, fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of a man. For God shall bring every work into judgment with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

Everything we do on the earth has eternal consequences.

3. It means living in the now with readiness and preparedness for eternity. That is, you are not trying to get prepared; you are living prepared (Matthew 25:13, Matthew 24:44-45).

4. It is living as strangers and pilgrims on the earth. This is living with the full knowledge that this world is not our home (1 Peter 2:11).

5. It is living in the world without forgetting yourself in the world. Living in the world without forgetting your eternal and heavenly citizenship (Philippians 3:20).

Beloved, don’t forget yourself in this world because one day, the curtains of eternity shall be drawn, and the world shall end.

Remember this: The end of earthly life is the beginning of endless life in eternity.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Live ready in anticipation of Christ’s coming. Keep your spiritual temperature high.

2. Refuse to live in sin

3. Ask God for mercy if you have erred and make amends.

PRAYER: Lord, help me to live on earth as a pilgrim. I refuse to conform to the pattern of this world. Draw me closer to You Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

20 days of Building a Network That Works For You

Day 2: The Power of First Impressions
First impressions matter

You might never get a second chance to change the first impression you create.

First impressions aren’t just about what you say. They start the moment you walk into a room:

How you dress
Your scent
The way you walk
Your gestures
Your eye contact

All these are judged before you even speak.
These small details can be the reason you’re remembered, or forgotten.

This is what I’ve learned:
You don’t need the most expensive clothes, but be intentional about how you dress.
Perfumes are not a luxury; they are a necessity. Your rubbing oil is not your perfume.
Walk with confidence. Head high, shoulders back. Let your presence communicate energy and purpose.

In a world where people are distracted and quick to judge, being intentional about the first impression you create is a career advantage.

Your first impression is your silent pitch in every room you enter.

Be intentional about the first impression you give to people. The good news is that you have control over the kind of impression you create.

764,000 have lost money while 58 crypto wallets have made millions on Trump’s meme coin, data shows.

(Last paragraphs are very important)

764,000 wallets of mostly small holders have lost money on $TRUMP, according to the firm.

58 wallets have made over $10 million each from President Donald Trump’s meme coin, totaling $1.1 billion in profits, blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis said.

(Look at the power of BIG CAPITAL; in investment, the number that truly counts is not the number of investors but the number of dollars. Lols)

Now watch this…

The $TRUMP event, set for May 22 at Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., includes a reception for the 25 wallets with the largest balance, along with a White House tour.



So….? You know what this means?

When you see $Trump memecoin’s price rising recently due to high demand, know that it’s most likely influenced by the incentive “reception for the 25 wallets with the largest balance, along with a White House tour” and not necessarily a rise in demand out of investors’s perceived value.🫰
(CNBC reported)

👆🏼This is an advantaged news for short term investors in this crypto to make quick money.

But if you are a long term investor, this news and its recent impact on the price movement of the memecoin should not drive your investment decision.🫰

There could be massive sell off by those big investors after enjoying the incentive. You don’t tell them what to do afterwards, do you?

Strong fundamentals should support your long term investment decisions.

"𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐞!"

Wrath is one of those things that if you don't control it, it can quickly turn into other evil acts.
Because it brings that intense feeling to hurt someone, to punish them.

Psalm 37:8
> “Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.”

Do you struggle with wrath, with anger?
Why do you allow it to control you?
Because if you have God's Spirit in you, you have the Spirit of self-control.
So you can control it — yes, you can control your emotions.

Don't lie to yourself.
Some people say, “Ah, this is how my family is. My dad was this way, he's dad, so I'm just like him.”
No. You are the one that should break that chain.
And you can control it — because if you are a Christian, the Spirit of God will help you to have self-control.

Ephesians 4:31
> “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.”

If you give in to your emotions and you just vent, God says that's acting 'foolishly'

Proverbs 29:11
> “A fool gives full vent to his spirit, but a wise man quietly holds it back.”

The Bible is full of verses that warn us against wrath and anger.
It's so serious about it that it actually warns us not to be friends with someone like that.

Proverbs 22:24
> “Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man.”

If you are a real Christian, you are a new creation and God's Spirit is in you.
And yes, as a new Christian, you are now a baby in Christ.
So you still need to learn how to act in the Spirit and not in the flesh.

You need to put on that — it's like a switch that you decide:
"No, I'm not going to give in to emotions. I'm going to live in the Spirit.
What would Jesus do in this situation?"
If you walk in the Spirit, you will have self-control in every aspect of your life.

Galatians 5:22–23
> “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law.”

*Go into this week with that consciousness of self-control. No venting, no retaliation, no burst out of anger. Just love, joy and happiness flowing through you*.

_Have a blessed week_
