    What does it really mean to be sanctified as a Christian? In this eye-opening teaching, Emos Abamukong takes you deep into the process of Christian sanctification—the transformation of the believer into the image of Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

    🕊 In this video, you will learn:

    The true meaning of sanctification

    Why sanctification is not legalism, but liberty

    How the Holy Spirit works in your soul and body

  • DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 21ST JULY, 2025 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

    TOPIC: MOUNTAIN REMOVING FAITH.

    SCRIPTURE: And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. MARK 11:22-23.

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If God can raise the dead, He can heal the living.

    Sometime ago, a woman testified in one of our services about her son who was healed of the cancer of the jaw. The boy was diagnosed with cancer of the jaw, and they went to the hospital for treatment. They were told that they needed to carry out surgery on the boy. They needed to make a bone graft by taking a bone from his thigh to the jawbone.

    Now, while they were all thinking of that process, not knowing what to do next, they came to church. The boy went through the Foundation Class and the Discipleship and Leadership Training Course (DLTC). When he finished the DLTC, he re-enrolled and went through the course for the second time. When he was done, he went through it again for the third time. After this, his spirit was charged up with faith.

    Then, one day, they ran into me, and the mother said, “Please Sir, pray for my boy.” I prayed for him and laid hands on him physically. Then in the dream of the night, the boy saw me praying for him again and a personality with that same jaw cancer left his body. After that dream encounter, the following morning, the jaw cancer burst and dried up. They went back to the hospital, and it was confirmed that the cancer was gone. The surgery was cancelled.

    Beloved, there is no sickness that is not healable. There is no condition that is not handleable. Let no devil deceive you. If God can raise the dead, He can heal the living.

    Now, here is the point, I was so impressed and touched by the resilience and faith action of the boy. He finished the maturity course, and went through it again, for about three times. He continued charging himself with the Word of God until his faith was ripe enough to a level where it could practically move the satanic cancer mountain off his jaw. That was a mountain removing faith. That mountain melted at the frequency of a well charged-up faith.

    Beloved, charge up your faith to take charge of your fate. When you charge your faith, you take charge of fate. That is, you are in charge of the outcome of your life. You are not taken unawares because you are in charge by faith. So, build your faith to the level where it can uproot the mountains of your life (Mark 11:22). Build your faith by hearing and studying the Word of God, by listening to testimonies, receiving light, insights and revelation from the Word of God into your spirit until you can scream like Archimedes, Eureka! (Meaning I have found it).

    Beloved, that mountain of challenge before you is collapsible; it is demolishable. The question is how strong is your faith?

    I decree today, every mountain in your life is uprooted right now in Jesus Name.

    Remember this: If God can raise the dead, He can heal the living.

    ASSIGNMENT(S):
    1. Charge up your faith daily by listening to or studying the Word of God.

    2. Pick up the message title, ‘Pulling Down Strongholds’ by Dr Paul Enenche at the Dunamis Bookshop or online platforms.

    3. Never believe that anything is impossible.

    PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to continuously charge up my faith, so I can experience exploits by the power of faith. Every evil stronghold in my life is collapsing now, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

  • The Fork in the Road

    The road forked. One path, broad and alluring, promised shortcuts to Elias's desires and Lucian's dark power, but reeked of decay and echoed with whispers of fear. The other path was narrower, marked by the footprints of countless faithful before, winding upward towards light (Matthew 7:13-14).

    Elias looked longingly at the broad path, clutching his rotting fruit, too weary to see its emptiness.

    Lucian, driven by the chains, saw only the illusion of dominance it offered.

    Miriam, feeling the supportive strength beside her and the lightness of her well-made yoke, turned towards the narrow path.

    Why God's Yoke?

    Miriam understood:
    1. Shared Burden

    God's yoke is designed for partnership. We are "yoked together with" Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14 MSG - implied). We don't pull alone; He shoulders the impossible weight.

    "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you" (Psalm 55:22).

    2. True Rest

    The "lightness"isn't absence of work, but the absence of soul-crushing oppression found under Satan's chains or Self's insatiable hunger. It's the deep rest (Matthew 11:28) that comes from surrender, forgiveness, and knowing you are loved and led.

    3. Purposeful Weight

    The burden of discipleship – loving others, pursuing holiness, serving – has weight, but it's the weight of meaning and eternal value, not decay or chains.

    "For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" (2 Corinthians 4:17).

    4. Freedom from Bondage

    God's yoke is the only one that offers true freedom – freedom from sin's slavery (Satan's yoke) and the futile striving of Self.

    "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery"(Galatians 5:1).

    Elias's burden rotted. Lucian's chains crushed. But Miriam's yoke, though requiring steps of faith, led her forward in partnership, peace, and purpose, her soul finding rest even as her hands worked.

    The choice wasn't between weight and weightlessness, but between burdens that destroy and a yoke that, shared with the Savior, truly gives life.

  • CHURCH MEMBERSHIP ETHICS

    “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:27

    Being a faithful and committed church member reflects your love for Christ and maturity as a believer. Church membership is not a mere formality—it is a covenant responsibility before God. Below are essential principles that govern healthy, biblical church membership:

    1. BE A MEMBER OF ONLY ONE CHURCH

    “No one can serve two masters...” – Matthew 6:24
    Being planted in one local church is a mark of loyalty and order. Divided loyalty weakens your spiritual growth and creates confusion. Choose where God has led you, plant yourself there, and flourish. Dual membership is like a divided heart—it brings instability and robs both churches of your full commitment.

    2. RESPECT OTHER CHURCHES

    “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition...” – Philippians 2:3
    Never fish from another church’s pond. Evangelism is about reaching the unsaved, not draining other congregations. God honors soul-winning, not sheep-stealing. Instead of trying to attract members from smaller churches, invest your energy into outreach. Strengthen the Body by building, not by weakening others.

    3. HELP MAKE YOUR CHURCH BETTER

    “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:21
    Every church has room to grow—including yours. Don't jump ship because of imperfections. Be part of the solution. Serve with joy, contribute your gifts, and work with leadership to make things better. God places you in a church not to observe, but to contribute.

    4. STOP LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT CHURCH

    “There is none righteous, no, not one.” – Romans 3:10
    A perfect church doesn’t exist—because people aren’t perfect. The goal isn’t perfection, but progress. Every church is a work in progress, just like you. Rather than chasing perfection, commit to growth and maturity where you are.

    5. MAKING SUGGESTIONS WITH THE RIGHT HEART

    “Let all things be done decently and in order.” – 1 Corinthians 14:40
    As a member, your voice matters. Offer your ideas with humility and a willingness to participate in their implementation. And if leadership doesn’t take them on board, respond with grace. Suggestions are not commands; they are offerings, not ultimatums.

    6. YOUR ACTIONS IMPACT THE BODY

    “If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.” – 1 Corinthians 12:26
    The church is not a club—it’s a body. Every act of faithfulness or carelessness sends a ripple through the entire congregation. Your absence, presence, encouragement, or discouragement has an effect. Think beyond yourself. You are part of something much bigger.

    7. GIVE TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH

    “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse...” – Malachi 3:10
    Your financial giving should support the church that feeds and shepherds you. Supporting other ministries is good, but your first responsibility is your local church. Like eating at one restaurant and paying at another—misplaced giving weakens the house that serves you.

    8. LET YOUR PASTOR OFFICIATE YOUR LIFE EVENTS

    “Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor...” – 1 Timothy 5:17
    For weddings, dedications, or blessings, involve your own pastor. This shows honor, consistency, and accountability. Your pastor is spiritually responsible for you—so they should be present in your major life milestones.

    9. LEAVE A CHURCH HONORABLY, IF YOU MUST

    “First go and be reconciled to them...” – Matthew 5:24
    If God leads you to another church, do not disappear quietly. Speak to your leaders. Seek peace and receive their blessing. Don't gossip, criticize, or take others with you. Leaving in offense creates spiritual baggage. Leave as a peacemaker, not a troublemaker.

    10. DON’T LEAVE BECAUSE OF CORRECTION

    “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.” – Galatians 6:1
    Rebuke is a sign of care. When your leaders confront your sin, receive it with humility. Running away only hardens your heart and delays growth. True discipleship requires correction. A loving church disciplines because it desires your restoration.

    11. IMPERFECT PASTORS STILL SERVE A PERFECT GOD

    “We have this treasure in jars of clay...” – 2 Corinthians 4:7
    Your pastor will make mistakes. Don’t expect flawless leadership. God uses flawed vessels to accomplish His perfect will. What matters most is their heart for God, not their human limitations. Extend the same grace you want to receive.

    12. DISCIPLESHIP IS NOT A BURDEN—IT’S A BLESSING

    “Go therefore and make disciples...” – Matthew 28:19
    Discipleship is the heartbeat of spiritual maturity. If you are offended by structure, correction, or accountability, ask yourself if you truly want to grow. Emotion is not a good compass—let God’s Word guide your decisions. Growth requires intentional effort and sometimes discomfort.

    LOVE, SERVE, AND BUILD

    “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship...” – Acts 2:42
    Your church is your spiritual family. Love it, serve it, and build it. Your faithfulness strengthens others. Your consistency honors God. Don’t be a visitor in your own house—be a pillar in the house of the Lord.

    Support your church. Celebrate your church. Be the church.

    God bless you!

GIVE TO YOUR LOCAL CHURCH “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse...” – Malachi 3:10 Your financial giving should support the church that feeds and shepherds you. Supporting other ministries is good, but your first responsibility is your local church. Like eating at one restaurant and paying at another—misplaced giving weakens the house that serves you. 8. LET YOUR PASTOR OFFICIATE YOUR LIFE EVENTS “Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honor...” – 1 Timothy 5:17 For weddings, dedications, or blessings, involve your own pastor. This shows honor, consistency, and accountability. Your pastor is spiritually responsible for you—so they should be present in your major life milestones. 9. LEAVE A CHURCH HONORABLY, IF YOU MUST “First go and be reconciled to them...” – Matthew 5:24 If God leads you to another church, do not disappear quietly. Speak to your leaders. Seek peace and receive their blessing. Don't gossip, criticize, or take others with you. Leaving in offense creates spiritual baggage. Leave as a peacemaker, not a troublemaker. 10. DON’T LEAVE BECAUSE OF CORRECTION “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.” – Galatians 6:1 Rebuke is a sign of care. When your leaders confront your sin, receive it with humility. Running away only hardens your heart and delays growth. True discipleship requires correction. A loving church disciplines because it desires your restoration. 11. IMPERFECT PASTORS STILL SERVE A PERFECT GOD “We have this treasure in jars of clay...” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 Your pastor will make mistakes. Don’t expect flawless leadership. God uses flawed vessels to accomplish His perfect will. What matters most is their heart for God, not their human limitations. Extend the same grace you want to receive. 12. DISCIPLESHIP IS NOT A BURDEN—IT’S A BLESSING “Go therefore and make disciples...” – Matthew 28:19 Discipleship is the heartbeat of spiritual maturity. If you are offended by structure, correction, or accountability, ask yourself if you truly want to grow. Emotion is not a good compass—let God’s Word guide your decisions. Growth requires intentional effort and sometimes discomfort. LOVE, SERVE, AND BUILD “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship...” – Acts 2:42 Your church is your spiritual family. Love it, serve it, and build it. Your faithfulness strengthens others. Your consistency honors God. Don’t be a visitor in your own house—be a pillar in the house of the Lord. Support your church. Celebrate your church. Be the church. God bless you!
