  • A THRIVING ENVIRONMENT

    Eagles do not thrive alongside chickens or sparrows, nor was the horse meant to be confined to small spaces. The lily pad will not grow in the Sahara Desert, nor are birds meant to be caged. A fish cannot flourish unless it is in water. Roses do not grow on concrete. None of these species can reach their full potential unless they are in the environment created for them. Every person has a unique temperament and a specific calling from God. Esther was called in the dispensation of times to save the Jews. She was placed in an environment that would ensure God's will came to pass. John the Baptist wore camel skin and a leather belt, ate locusts and honey, and lived in the wilderness.

    We can consider various personalities and the environments in which they thrived. Mother Teresa truly flourished on the streets of Calcutta. Einstein and other great minds thrived in solitude. Billy Graham excelled in front of massive crowds, while John wrote the Book of Revelation on the island of Patmos. As I have demonstrated here with examples from animal, plant, and bird life, the destinies of fish and people depend on the environments required for them to fulfil their calling. Clearly, Billy Graham was quite different from Mother Teresa and Einstein. Yet, while Mother Teresa wouldn’t have thrived in the roles of Billy Graham or Einstein, they too would struggle in traditional nine-to-five jobs, such as selling shoes. Thomas Edison, who persevered through over 1,000 attempts to invent the light bulb, could easily have been sidetracked if everyone else had confined him to their own viewpoints on how life should be lived.

    Whether we realise it or not, when you examine the status quo, you start to notice common stereotypes and ideas about how someone should live their life. I wouldn’t thrive in an accountant’s office or doing factory work. Musical artists wouldn’t live their best lives if asked to work as optometrists because it’s not in the fabric of their being. One thing we must remember is to never impose our views on others regarding how they should live. Much of this comes from our differing values of what we consider important; someone else may value mundane things related to this world, such as frivolous socialising over coffee or family. There are various possibilities, but Einstein valued solitude because, without it, he couldn’t do his best thinking. I wonder how many people thought he was unusual in his time. Solitude is one of life’s greatest gifts you can give yourself. Only in solitude, where the thoughts of others do not influence you, can you delve into yourself and engage in deep contemplation. An eagle flies alone. It soars above the storms and has a higher perspective, seeing with greater clarity from a bird’s eye view. The creator did not design the eagle to be with the chickens, who do not share the same perspective. Their view is limited. Ester had been prepared with beauty treatments for a year before she could see the king, and he chose her over others. Beauty treatments are like the preparation for truth, as nothing is more fundamental than the truth. We all value different things, but when you have been seeking the truth for a long time, and you encounter it in its fullness, you will toss aside mundane things and activities that no longer hold the same meaning or relevance as you discover something of far greater worth.

    We all seek different things. Some seek marriage, others seek success or self-aggrandizement, some seek careers, and a few seek God. Moreover, we have to consider the concept of God because there are a multitude of perspectives we can hold about Him, but there is only one God. There is one universal narrative that encompasses all humanity. Even if you disagree, He is the creator of our design and should be the focal point of our lives, living in the depths of our hearts and guiding us in the way we should go. He has unique callings for every person, whether a pastor, scientist, or musician. God has created everyone to fit His plan and purpose within the dispensation of the age they inhabit.

    If we believe that God is ourselves, that God resides out there in heaven, or that we must do something to appease our God so that He will accept us; or if we think He created us for good works, to live by faith, and to move and have our being in Him, all of these perspectives will shape a different theology. God knitted you together in your mother’s womb before He designed you. He had a blueprint to follow because He wrote a book on your life before you came into existence. Before He designed Moses to lead the children of Israel out of their slavery and captivity, God knew He needed a Moses, so He placed all the necessary inclinations within his DNA to fulfill that assignment. He then brought Moses into the world in the exact geographical location and family needed to provide the temperament and connection between Egypt, which symbolizes the world, and Israel, which symbolizes God’s people. Moses was brought up in the ways of Egypt, but his heart was for the children of Israel.

    Notice that the pharaoh’s heart was not motivated by the cry of the children of Israel, nor was it in the DNA of his bones to be the deliverer of that nation. Instead, he fitted another role, and his stubborn heart caused many plagues and destruction to come upon the Egyptians; ultimately, many of them drowned. They were trying to keep the children of Israel in bondage and slavery, which was not what God desired for them. However, the mindset they developed during years of captivity meant that only two made it to the promised land. You must fight to stand in the truth and never doubt that this is the environment of the heart's condition, regardless of the materiality of life. This is why we face opposition wanting to keep us from reaching our promised land. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, and spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. We can only stand in our authority with the right heart attitude, regardless of what comes to oppose us. You take dominion with each step of faith in the way God is leading you.

  • DECODING CONTENT: STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGED THINKING

    Thinking is the key to all content. Whatever topics or disciplines you are studying must be understood by thinking. Content is organized by thinking, analyzed, explained, illustrated, applied, transformed, evaluated, synthesized, and learned by thinking. Let’s philosophize this by examining the parts of thinking about a business; therefore, you have defined the subject or range of business-related ideas. A business aims to achieve maximum profit and productivity within the least expenditure. The inferences you will be making will be judgments on the type of employers and what motivates them to make judgements about the information we gather on supply/ demand. Judgments about what would make the company more productive.

    A business owner would ask how we can create maximum productivity with the least expenditure. The assumption the business owner would have is supply and demand are predictable based on certain variables. That productivity can be improved, and employers are motivated by certain variables. The essential concepts in business are maximum profit, productivity, least expenditure, motivation, productive employers, reasonable salaries, services, supply and demand. The implication and consequences: if I accurately access the information I gather to improve productivity, I can predict how changes we make will affect productivity.

    The point of view for a business is to see maximum productivity with the last expenditure as the business goal. I would be using information regarding employer motivation, appropriate pay structure, cost of services/materials needed to achieve purpose, and supply/demand. Now that I have separated the parts of thinking associated with business, I can gain clarity so that the content of reasoning can go through all those methods to transform the thinking and apply it in real life. If that was the purpose of my reasoning, there is a particular aim or goal to thinking. We can use this model for any subject we want to ensure we have thought through it well. When you separate the parts of thinking, you gain ultimate clarity.

    You could determine what is the main question this discipline is asking. For instance, sociology is asking how humans behave in particular groups. The purpose is to learn how and why people act the way they do due to living with others in groups. First, you would have to define what group you were analyzing. Is it related to a particular culture, is it political religion or social group? What systems and structures create the dynamic of the group? In America, they only have democrats and republicans representing right and left politics, which differ in policies. Even the president is limited by the policies in place regarding what he can do.

    He is the face of the political party, but there are structures that he must work within unless he knows shortcuts. Studying group culture like nationalistic that is defined within the borders of land China is different to Japan economically, socially, and spiritually, but what causes these differences is their outlook on life based on the environment that the citizens of a nation have adopted collectively. It’s interesting how culture emerges when no one actor is making all the decisions. Look at fashion and how it evolves, but if you study this, it is created from what the consumers are sold through shops and what is identified as popular. People think that what they are wearing is original, and they make it a part of their identity. It’s connecting the materiality with the invisible.

    Studying how groups behave in relation to consumerism may depend on where they live geographically and what is socially acceptable. However, we cannot define an individual until we examine the systems and structures of a nation. Clothing is cultural as it is someone making a political statement about who they are by the colours and style of dress some announce rebellion. You will see this in punk dress. Maybe they are trying to express their individuality. Yet it came from a culture that targeted their identity. That is how consumerism works. I may not buy traditional Indian dress, and I would feel out of place within the community I belong. We could use the eight dimensions of thinking to get to the deeper parts. We may judge others’ dress if we have come from conservative values or even religious ideas of what we define as socially acceptable. One thing we must observe is different cultural narratives create the standards and define the limits of dress. I have been shocked by what has changed in the last twenty years, even within my own culture. The bikini is just string up the backside.

    What is even more interesting is how normalised this culture is. While it does not appeal to my tastes, nor do I see it as decent, I cannot judge the younger generation for something that has been sold to them through magazines, consumer-based marketing and has now been normalised it is widespread throughout my nation. Yet, if we changed a culture group and went to Samoa, that would not be acceptable, and you would be disowned.

    Contrasting groups with others, helps us to discover some cultural norms, and the limits of the mind are defined within the context of reasoning. We need to think through different materialities that are created by the dimension of thought, which is also determined by the systems and structure they are within that have espoused such logic. There is a particular rationale to everything that only by going through the process of examining the content and analysing the content to understand it deeper can we accept the differences in culture are not one individual’s fault. They have been influenced by systems and structures within any sphere of life. If you observe Facebook as a system and structure the friends content, you see the kind of advertising targeting you is all based on algorithms that you or I don’t control, but they do control the kind of information available to you that I may not ever see in my lifetime.

    Even realizing that we all have different information that creates our worldview by where we are socially positioned within a culture and generation, there are many things that we do not control, such as the banking system or how we purchase items at a shop. This is why we need to think deeply about the content in our reasoning and where the information came from. As you see above, in the business model, that would have been very different information that made up the parts of thinking in the 18th hundreds before the concept of a shop had even been hypothesized therefore, we are affected by the dispensation of our generation. Thinking through the logic of content is defined by other factors influencing it.

  • Dear LADIES BEFORE YOU SPREAD YOUR LEGS WIDE FOR A MARRIED MAN YOU MUST KNOW THIS:
    * The only thing he wants is s*x. He comes and goes back home to his wife. Men think about s*x at least 35 times in a day and therefore you can just be one of the people he just dreams of bedding...nothing more!

    *You are most likely not the only one. Ouch, that hurts, but it is true. Men cheat, not just because of a weakness in their wives, but because of a lack of self-control and indiscipline. Since u are not God, never think he started with u nor will end with u!

    *After using u he will move on to someone else. Obviously! If he cheated on his wife, what of a girlfriend? After all, did u know that his wife has the same "machinery" as u?

    *He doesn't owe u anything. Off-course, he is not your husband!

    *Getting pregnant on purpose won't trap him; his kids are at home with his wife. Ohh no!

    *His money and property are for him and his family, u only get the small change. Most men and their families are moving to put their properties in trusts where they record their wife and children as beneficiaries...the closest u can ever get is his child with u getting something!

    *You will never be part of his future. So sorry! Most men go crazy when younger because of their emotions n the great need to bed other women. Once they get old enough, they regret their past n leave it for younger men.

  • A VISION

    Your reality and the world you create must have a vision. Vision is a function of the spirit's eyes. It creates images of things to come that have not yet manifested in the physical world. These are the coordinates that determine your daily actions. Perpetrators and victims illustrate people who operate from the outside; they choose their actions based on what they can physically see in the external world. This is why you'll see them respond to their reality. Through manipulation or self-pity, they either blame others or deceive themselves, manipulating reality by going against the truth written into nature.

    To be a perpetrator, you violate the laws God has established in the universe to get your way. While victims believe they are at the mercy of life—whether it’s financial struggles, wrongs done to them by others, or self-pity due to their circumstances—both of these stem from physical realities. We were designed to function from the inside out, and God provided us with a prototype of this in Genesis One during the world's creation. When confronted with a disordered environment, He needed to create order. He established His essence amidst the void He created. The waters below and above are merely expanses of nothingness. There was no plant or animal life nor any separation of dry land from the waters. The only thing God had done was separate night from day. This first step was crucial because what belongs to darkness does not belong to the light.

    Light is where we create from, but darkness must be removed to have light. To understand how to build a city, business, or family and to be anything you can envision but haven't yet created, you need the proper knowledge, which must become a part of you. However, to achieve complete clarity, you must separate from the darkness, which symbolizes ignorance. To have the scope of imagination to distinguish the waters below from the waters above and create an empty void for the foundations of the precipitation cycle, the expanse for oxygen, and the changing atmospheric pressures—along with many other possibilities—you must be magnificent in creating that space. He already had a complete picture within himself because he was not far in the process of finishing the house of humanity in a material environment that represented his vision. The steps he was taking were leading him there. Never start anything until you have finished the picture within.

    You are creating not from physical things but from the invisible to become material; that is how we were designed to function from the inside out. When God separated the waters below from those above, no moon, stars, sun, or planets existed. They existed only in the scope of God's imagination, creating from within all the planets and galaxies that scientists, even today, haven't fully comprehended. This is a scientist’s territory or space that he should explore. The scientist has already recognised an innate passion instilled by God. Still, just as mathematics is an expansive subject where one could specialise in a particular branch and apply that reasoning to a specific discipline, developing skills for application, he must do the work and embody a spirit of excellence to replicate God's model. He employs the same principles as God did during creation by maintaining a tremendous work ethic. Each day, God created from within Himself. He focused on one task: creating a major component of the world necessary for humanity and other plants, animals, fish, and creeping things to thrive.

    God embodies a spirit of excellence, as we see that at the end of each day, he proclaimed it was good. This reflects God's attitude toward everything he undertakes. Not only is he a finisher of all that he does, but he also ensures it is accomplished to the highest standard. No matter where you look in creation, the intelligence of God resonates clearly every day. The sun has never failed us, even after thousands of years since the foundations of the earth, which illustrates God's truth. Nothing echoes louder than the faithfulness of the sun, akin to applying principles of truth. These principles are timeless and infallible if you follow God's laws because everything founded on truth endures. That is why truth must be integral to ourselves, just as God's word is steadfast. It never falters because it emerges from within. The key is to build life on principles, as God designed creation and how it functions so perfectly.

    God is the master builder of systems. This is another major way to build life; we do not create something just once. We need to learn how to establish it in systems, which is why routines are beneficial since they are predictable. I don’t have to decide whether I am going to write or not. It is integrated into a routine, and you can be assured that there will be a product every day. God built consistency into creation because He knows He doesn't need to come back each day to turn on the sun. He has set it by a clock that determines exactly where it will be. More than discovering the materiality of life, it’s about uncovering God’s pattern for building. He is the master builder of lives. He knows exactly how to construct any material reality. Even though His church is a spiritual house, He said He would build it. He has taken responsibility; all we need to do is our part in that plan. That’s why we discover ourselves from the inside, not by what happens to us on the outside; that is not the place to make decisions. It is first about discovering the self and then working hard to develop oneself, completing who God has created you to be. It is never for ourselves; it is always for His purpose and will. God did not go to the trouble of creating you materially without ensuring that everything you need to fit His plan and purpose is inside you. Therefore, discover all your inclinations and build a life from the inside out that is not yet created but formed with your life.
    A VISION Your reality and the world you create must have a vision. Vision is a function of the spirit's eyes. It creates images of things to come that have not yet manifested in the physical world. These are the coordinates that determine your daily actions. Perpetrators and victims illustrate people who operate from the outside; they choose their actions based on what they can physically see in the external world. This is why you'll see them respond to their reality. Through manipulation or self-pity, they either blame others or deceive themselves, manipulating reality by going against the truth written into nature. To be a perpetrator, you violate the laws God has established in the universe to get your way. While victims believe they are at the mercy of life—whether it’s financial struggles, wrongs done to them by others, or self-pity due to their circumstances—both of these stem from physical realities. We were designed to function from the inside out, and God provided us with a prototype of this in Genesis One during the world's creation. When confronted with a disordered environment, He needed to create order. He established His essence amidst the void He created. The waters below and above are merely expanses of nothingness. There was no plant or animal life nor any separation of dry land from the waters. The only thing God had done was separate night from day. This first step was crucial because what belongs to darkness does not belong to the light. Light is where we create from, but darkness must be removed to have light. To understand how to build a city, business, or family and to be anything you can envision but haven't yet created, you need the proper knowledge, which must become a part of you. However, to achieve complete clarity, you must separate from the darkness, which symbolizes ignorance. To have the scope of imagination to distinguish the waters below from the waters above and create an empty void for the foundations of the precipitation cycle, the expanse for oxygen, and the changing atmospheric pressures—along with many other possibilities—you must be magnificent in creating that space. He already had a complete picture within himself because he was not far in the process of finishing the house of humanity in a material environment that represented his vision. The steps he was taking were leading him there. Never start anything until you have finished the picture within. You are creating not from physical things but from the invisible to become material; that is how we were designed to function from the inside out. When God separated the waters below from those above, no moon, stars, sun, or planets existed. They existed only in the scope of God's imagination, creating from within all the planets and galaxies that scientists, even today, haven't fully comprehended. This is a scientist’s territory or space that he should explore. The scientist has already recognised an innate passion instilled by God. Still, just as mathematics is an expansive subject where one could specialise in a particular branch and apply that reasoning to a specific discipline, developing skills for application, he must do the work and embody a spirit of excellence to replicate God's model. He employs the same principles as God did during creation by maintaining a tremendous work ethic. Each day, God created from within Himself. He focused on one task: creating a major component of the world necessary for humanity and other plants, animals, fish, and creeping things to thrive. God embodies a spirit of excellence, as we see that at the end of each day, he proclaimed it was good. This reflects God's attitude toward everything he undertakes. Not only is he a finisher of all that he does, but he also ensures it is accomplished to the highest standard. No matter where you look in creation, the intelligence of God resonates clearly every day. The sun has never failed us, even after thousands of years since the foundations of the earth, which illustrates God's truth. Nothing echoes louder than the faithfulness of the sun, akin to applying principles of truth. These principles are timeless and infallible if you follow God's laws because everything founded on truth endures. That is why truth must be integral to ourselves, just as God's word is steadfast. It never falters because it emerges from within. The key is to build life on principles, as God designed creation and how it functions so perfectly. God is the master builder of systems. This is another major way to build life; we do not create something just once. We need to learn how to establish it in systems, which is why routines are beneficial since they are predictable. I don’t have to decide whether I am going to write or not. It is integrated into a routine, and you can be assured that there will be a product every day. God built consistency into creation because He knows He doesn't need to come back each day to turn on the sun. He has set it by a clock that determines exactly where it will be. More than discovering the materiality of life, it’s about uncovering God’s pattern for building. He is the master builder of lives. He knows exactly how to construct any material reality. Even though His church is a spiritual house, He said He would build it. He has taken responsibility; all we need to do is our part in that plan. That’s why we discover ourselves from the inside, not by what happens to us on the outside; that is not the place to make decisions. It is first about discovering the self and then working hard to develop oneself, completing who God has created you to be. It is never for ourselves; it is always for His purpose and will. God did not go to the trouble of creating you materially without ensuring that everything you need to fit His plan and purpose is inside you. Therefore, discover all your inclinations and build a life from the inside out that is not yet created but formed with your life.

  • A PRACTICAL EXERCISE

    Every thought acted upon is shaping your life. Your future is hidden in the architecture of your small and enduring actions. Small thoughts are potentials for destiny if one is creating life thoughtfully you can predict your future. I want you to imagine a grid with four boxes at the center of the page is one line parallel with the paper and an arrow at each end one says away and one says towards then at the center of the page draw a horizontal line with an arrow at each end by now this should look like a cross then at the bottom write “Inside” and at the top write “Outside.”

    On the center line imagine a rabbit running away from a dog towards the away arrow now imagine the rabbit running towards a carrot moving in the opposite direction. In the bottom two boxes where it states inside and the left-hand side closer to the away write “What inside stuff gets in the way?” And on the right-hand side write “Who and what is important to me?” and at the center write” Me noticing.” These are all the thoughts that either move us away from what we want, or they move us towards our highest value this is all going on in the inside of you. Above at the top of the boxes where it says outside write “What would I be seen doing when I try to move away from uncomfortable feelings and thoughts?” This is all the stuff that you would see happening in the physical world that is moving you away from your highest values.

    On the top right hand in the right quadrant write “what would I be doing if I was moving towards my values”? (bottom right). This technique is a visual picture of your inside thoughts and feelings and what happens in the external world as a result. When you are focused on external things it is hard to see what is going on in the inside but when you focus on the internal everything that happens inside you it is hard to see the external. This is just a visual map to see what manifest in the physical world when we move closer to our highest values and what we want in life.

    Another analogy to this box that you could write which is the centrality of our Christian Walk is moving towards God’s will or away and what happens in the physical world as a result. Jesus said, “Those who love me obey my words” that means we are moving towards God’s will and not away from it. God’s perfect, pleasing and acceptable will is that we walk in his righteousness and stand firm in his truth we become slaves to righteousness could be the centrality of this box while on the other side it wether it is obedience to his will or disobedience and on the bottom left side of the quadrant is moving away that is when you obey the carnal nature on the top left hand corner you can see what manifest when we do not walk in the spirit and love in the physical world and in the top right hand quadrant you can see what manifest when you move towards his will by faith. This is an interesting activity the centrality of the Cristian Walk is then either living selfishly or in self denial taking up the cross and following him and all the manifested fruit that will be evident in the physical world as a result of living whole heartly for his will will manifest.

    Therefore, the central question for life and godliness is the difference between a life of obedience to Jesus words or in complete rebellion to his ways which is his will, and the fruit of those decisions will manifest in the material world. Another observation we could make from this chart is do you function with physical sight that would mean your decisions are determined by what is visible in the physical world. Or do you determine every decision by walking from the spirit in the inside of you. Only you can answer that question as we were not created to walk from what we see in the external world we were created to walk with God in spirit and truth that is from the heart it functions from the realm of faith.

    These are two very different orientations. if we observe some of the problems in our world, we will see many use outside things to server their purpose rather than walk in obedience to the truth in a spirit of love from the heart. All things are determined by where we orientate ourself walking by faith is the language of the spirit walking by the carnal nature is dependent on the senses of what feels good what emotions drive a behaviour, and what feels good will be the things pleasing to the flesh by what you can see what you can taste what you can touch hear and smell these relate to the physical world.

    The sin nature that is disobedient to God is driven by the lust of the flesh the lust of the eye and the pride of life all of these are functioning from the physical as the are sensual and insatiable and will never stop desiring. But God’s word is the truth and the bread of life that fills our body with his sustenance. Therefore, what do you see manifest in your life the closer you move towards the will of God you will see all the things in the top right quadrant manifest in the physical world. But when you are a slave to disobedience and fulfill the pleasures of the carnal nature you will see all the things that you do not desire, and it means that your thoughts and feelings that move you away from God will create an unwanted harvest. therefore, right at the center we must choose to notice and choose the hard road of truth that leads to life.

  • WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR PARENTS DISAPPROVE OF YOUR CHOICE OF SPOUSE

    Dear Singles,

    Falling in love is beautiful, but what do you do when your parents don’t share your excitement about the person you intend to marry?

    Parental disapproval can be deeply painful and confusing—but it doesn’t always mean the end of your love story.

    Here's how to handle it maturely and prayerfully:

    1. Start With Self-Reflection
    Before blaming your parents, pause and check yourself.

    Is your relationship truly built on godly values?

    Have you noticed red flags others might be seeing?

    Could God be using your parents to open your eyes to something?

    Don't just react emotionally—respond thoughtfully.

    2. Be Patient and Calm
    Don’t rush into marriage out of spite or frustration.
    Avoid decisions like eloping or going silent.

    Sometimes God uses delay to reveal direction. Give Him time to work on all hearts involved—including yours.

    3. Turn to Prayer First
    Prayer changes things—and people.
    Pour out your heart to God.

    Ask Him to guide you, speak to your parents, and give you clarity and peace. If it’s His will, He’ll make a way.

    4. Seek Wise Counsel
    Don’t only talk to your friends (especially if they’ll only support your side).

    Instead, speak with a seasoned Christian counselor or pastor—someone who can give you biblical, balanced, and honest advice.

    5. If You’re Convinced, Be Peacefully Persistent
    If you're fully persuaded this relationship aligns with God’s will, don’t give up easily. Sometimes your perseverance—shown with maturity and grace—can win your parents over.

    6. Walk in Wisdom
    Don’t insult your parents, don’t drag them online, and don’t react in rebellion.

    Definitely don’t resort to emotional manipulation like pregnancy to gain their approval. That’s not God’s way. Let your actions reflect Christ—respectful, wise, and honorable.

    7. Keep Talking with Love

    Sit down and talk with your parents.
    Express your heart calmly. Share why you believe in your choice. Let them see your sincerity. Reassure them that their fears matter to you and that you’re not taking this lightly.

    8. Use Godly Diplomacy
    Sometimes, you're not the best person to convince your parents.
    Find respected elders, pastors, mentors, or family friends they trust to intercede. It’s not manipulation—it’s wisdom in motion.

    Final Thought:
    You can love your parents and your partner at the same time. One doesn't have to cancel the other.
    Honor your parents without dishonoring your conviction.

    With prayer, patience, and purpose, your story can still end in joy—and even better, mutual peace.

    And by the grace of God, your parents will one day be proud of the marriage you fought for—wisely, not rebelliously.

    You will not fail in marriage in Jesus name

    Kindly share this message with your loved ones

  • They called him the son of Satan.

    Not in jest — literally.

    Nicky Cruz was born into a home where darkness reigned. His parents were witches in Puerto Rico. They sacrificed animals. Spoke to spirits. Beat him until blood ran. And told him again and again:

    “You are the son of Satan.”

    By the time he was 15, Nicky had had enough. He ran. To New York City.
    To the streets.
    To gang life.

    There, he found the Mau Maus — one of the most violent gangs in Brooklyn.
    They took him in. Trained him. And soon, Nicky became their warlord — feared by everyone, hunted by police, dead inside.

    He followed hatred.
    And what followed him?

    Blood. Guns. Prison.
    And a haunting emptiness that no drug or fight could drown.

    Until one day… a skinny country preacher walked up to him and said:

    “Nicky, Jesus loves you.”

    Nicky spat in his face.

    “I’ll kill you!” he warned.

    But David Wilkerson didn’t stop. He kept coming back. Preaching. Praying.
    Loving him.

    One night, in a packed church, something snapped. Nicky broke.
    He wept. Gave his life to Christ.
    He dropped the knife, and picked up a Bible.

    And what followed him after that?

    Peace. Joy. Purpose.

    Nicky Cruz — once a gangster feared by thousands — became a global evangelist, preaching in prisons, war zones, and stadiums across the world.

    The boy who followed Satan became a man who followed Christ.
    And the world followed his transformation.

    What follows you
    depends on what you follow.

  • SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

    BY DR PST PAUL ENENCHE

    DATE: WEDNESDAY 9TH JULY, 2025

    TOPIC: NEVER INVEST FOR DEMOLITION.

    SCRIPTURE: If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. (1 Corinthians 15:19)

    THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Anyone whose only hope is in this life is a most miserable person.

    Sometime ago, someone died in the eastern part of Nigeria, and as they were burying him, a mad man stood and said, ‘Hold on! See his car, put the car in the grave too; let it follow him. Don't bury only him; put his properties in the grave too. Amazingly, the mad man was preaching a message.

    The truth is, no matter how rich you are, it has never been possible for a man to go to eternity with even a dime. Job says in Job 1:21, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither:

    If a man had no relationship with God before his death, he only wasted his lifetime.

    Beloved, take note of these three things.

    1. Anyone whose only hope is in this life is a most miserable person. No wonder, Paul the apostle says in 1Corinthians 15:19, If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. This implies that anyone whose life only centres around the things of this life is a miserable person. A multi-millionaire, a billionaire, president of a country, or governor of a state whose hope is only centred in this world, is a miserable person. He is miserable because he is hoping in a system that is doomed to crash and marked for demolition.

    2. Anyone whose affection is centred on the things of this world is living a life of waste. A person whose affection is only for the things of this life is living a life of waste. A person who is married to the things of this life will acquire eternal frustration.

    3. Anyone whose investment is only directed at earthly materials is investing into demolition. Show me a man whose investment, energy, and time are only in this world, I will show you a man who is investing into a system that is marked for demolition.

    Beloved, refuse to channel your affection only on the things of this world that will one day fade away. Let your investment be towards God and eternal matters because one day, eternity shall start for all, both great and small.

    Remember this: Anyone whose only hope is in this life is the most miserable person.

    ASSIGNMENT(S):
    1. Keep your affection on Christ and on eternal matters, not on the things of this world.

    2. Ask God to keep you permanently hungry for Him.

    PRAYER: Lord, draw me closer to You each day. Help me to invest in things that have eternal values as I fulfil my purpose on earth, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

    FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: MARKED FOR DEMOLITION

    DAILY BIBLE READING: Ecclesiastes 3-5

    QUOTE: How you will live on earth determines where you will end in eternity. Culled from the book, The Essence of Christianity by Dr Paul Enenche.

    AMAZING FACT: The brain doesn’t feel pain, even though it processes pain signals.

    PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The Lord grant you the passion to live for Him in Jesus Name.

  • IF SEX IS YOUR BIGGEST ADDICTION, POVERTY WILL BE YOUR ROOMMATE

    Let’s be honest…

    If you can't go one month or to a terrible extent even one week or so, without sex,
    but you've gone 5 years without saving,
    you’re not addicted to pleasure — you're allergic to progress.

    This generation isn’t suffering from lack of opportunities —
    We're suffering from lack of self-control.
    And many of you are sleeping with your future.

    1️⃣ YOU CAN’T BE BROKE AND STILL BE HORNY 24/7
    You’re broke. Jobless. Nothing going on.
    But your biggest issue is “blue balls”?
    You have data for porn, no data for online courses.
    Energy for hookups, no energy to hustle.

    2️⃣ SEX IS A GIFT — BUT TOO MUCH OF IT WILL KEEP YOU POOR
    Always chasing sex means you stop chasing purpose.
    Lazy. Distracted. Emotionally weak.
    Years will pass, and all you’ll have is body count — not bank account.

    3️⃣ POVERTY LOVES PEOPLE WHO CAN’T CONTROL THEIR URGES
    Those addicted to sex stay broke, confused, in drama, begging, regretting.
    When your lower nature rules you, success avoids you.

    4️⃣ YOUR DESTINY REQUIRES FOCUS — NOT FOREPLAY
    While you’re chasing sex, someone’s chasing skills.
    In 5 years, they’ll be free, rich, and powerful.
    You’ll still be blaming “village people.”

    5️⃣ IF SEX IS A NEED, DISCIPLINE IS A NECESSITY
    You’re not an animal.
    You’re a destiny carrier.
    Until you control your sexual appetite, poverty stays your roommate.

    6️⃣ MANY OF YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR CAPITAL ON CONDOMS
    Hotel rooms. Birth control. Data for DMs. Abortions. STI treatments.
    And you still say “life is hard”?
    You’re making it harder.

    7️⃣ YOUR FUTURE WIFE/HUSBAND IS PRAYING FOR YOU — BUT YOU’RE BUSY SLEEPING AROUND
    They’re somewhere grinding and growing.
    You’re doing rotational pleasure.
    Lust can delay your destiny and keep you poor.

    FINAL WORD:
    Sex is sweet — but discipline is wealth.
    Until you master your body, you can’t master your life.
    You either enjoy today and cry tomorrow…
    Or discipline yourself now and enjoy for a lifetime.

    IF SEX IS YOUR BIGGEST ADDICTION, POVERTY WILL BE YOUR ROOMMATE Let’s be honest… If you can't go one month or to a terrible extent even one week or so, without sex, but you've gone 5 years without saving, you’re not addicted to pleasure — you're allergic to progress. This generation isn’t suffering from lack of opportunities — We're suffering from lack of self-control. And many of you are sleeping with your future. 1️⃣ YOU CAN’T BE BROKE AND STILL BE HORNY 24/7 You’re broke. Jobless. Nothing going on. But your biggest issue is “blue balls”?
