🍒🌽 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PST PAUL ENENCHE DATE: TUESDAY, 15TH JULY 2025. 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 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. 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. FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: LIVING WITH ETERNITY IN VIEW DAILY BIBLE READING: Isaiah 1-3 QUOTE: If you want to look like Christ, then look at Christ. What you look at determines what you will look like. Culled from the book, The Essence of Christianity by Dr Paul Enenche. AMAZING FACT: A lion’s whiskers are highly sensitive, helping it to detect movement and objects in the dark. PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive grace to live with heaven in perspective always in Jesus Name.

BREAKING NEWS Court Bars Sole Administrator from Inaugurating Newly Confirmed Chairman and Members of Rivers State Services Commission A Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt has barred the sole administrator, Ibok-Ete Ibasa, from inaugurating the newly confirmed Chairman and members of the Rivers State Services Commission pending the court's judgment in a suit instituted before it. Presiding Judge Justice FRANK ONYIRI issued the caution after parties addressed and adopted their final written addresses on the suit by the chairman and members of the Rivers State Services Commission appointed by the suspended governor, SIMINALAYI FUBARA, challenging their suspension by the Sole Administrator of Rivers State, retired Vice Admiral IBOK-ETE EKWE-IBAS. Our correspondent reports that Justice FRANK ONYIRI, after ordering parties to maintain the existing status quo, issued sometime in April 2024 an adjournment the 29th of September, 2025, for judgment. The claimants, who are Reverend GOODLIFE IDUOKU BEN, AMADI CHRISTIAN ECHELE, CHIMENEM WISDOM JEROME, and three others, are challenging what they described as their illegal sack by the sole administrator and move to place them without due process. The claimants contend that they were legally appointed and confirmed by the Rivers State House of Assembly and that before they were issued letters of appointment by the governor, a record of their confirmation was on file with the clerk of the house. According to their affidavit, signed by the suspended chairman, GOODLIFE IDUOKU BEN, the claimants are insisting that the sole administrator lacks the legal powers to suspend them and appoint a new chairman and members of the commission. The defendants in the suits are the sole administrator of the state, IBOK-ETE IBAS; the accountant general; Access Bank; Zenith Bank; and eleven others. Source: Classic FM

Governor Dapo Abiodun Announces the Passing of Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Awujale of Ijebuland It is with profound sadness that I announce the passing of His Royal Majesty, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, the revered Awujale of Ijebuland. Oba Adetona joined his ancestors today, July 13, 2025 at the age of 91 leaving behind a remarkable legacy that has significantly shaped Ijebuland, Ogun State and Nigeria in general. It is indeed double sadness that Oba Adetona joined his ancestors the same day that the former President, Muhammadu died in a London, the United Kingdom hospital. Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona was a remarkable royal father, who ascended the throne in 1960, marking the beginning of a transformative era for Ijebuland. Throughout his reign, he was a beacon of unity, cultural preservation, and progressive development. His dedication to the welfare of his people was evident in his efforts to foster educational advancements, healthcare improvements, and economic growth within the state and Nigeria. Under his guidance, Ijebuland witnessed remarkable strides in infrastructure and community development, establishing itself as a model of progress in Ogun State. His leadership not only enhanced the cultural heritage of Ijebuland with the Ojude Oba festival attaining international standards but also solidified its reputation as a thriving hub of commerce and tradition. As we mourn his passing, let us celebrate the extraordinary life of Oba Adetona and honour his contributions to our country. His wisdom, kindness, and unwavering commitment to the betterment of his people will forever be etched in our hearts. May his soul rest in peace, and may we continue to uphold the values he instilled in us during his illustrious reign. Governor Dapo Abiodun Ogun State

System wisdom will not kill some people

Each person, at some point in life, encounters challenges, setbacks, and makes mistakes. It’s part of the human journey. No matter how sincere or well-intentioned someone is, even the most faithful heart can falter. But that doesn’t define their worth. Mistakes are not signs of failure — they are stepping stones to wisdom, strength, and self-awareness. Every difficulty we face holds a lesson, and every wrong turn is an opportunity to find a better direction. Growth often comes not in moments of ease, but through trials that shape our character. What matters most is not perfection, but progress. Embrace your journey, learn from your missteps, and keep moving forward with grace and resilience. person, at some point in life, encounters challenges, setbacks, and makes mistakes.

HOW TO BE POOR AND HOW TO GET RICH — The Choice is Yours 🚨 If after 4 years in a higher institution you’re still roaming the streets looking for a job, you need to hear this: you’ve failed—monumentally. Let’s stop pampering mediocrity. We’re in a country where truth sounds like hate because too many people are emotionally allergic to accountability. How do we explain that someone who studied Business Administration is now begging a secondary school dropout for job opportunities? How do we have graduates of Agriculture going hungry, when food is gold? Here's the bitter truth: poverty is not always a curse from the devil; often, it’s a system we’ve bought into with our mindset, our ego, and our excuses. Let’s break this down: 1️⃣ Pride: The Graduate Mentality Trap We want soft life. AC offices. Clean suits. Titles. But reality doesn’t pay you for your degree; it pays you for value. Artisan jobs are dying. In 10 years, Nigeria may have no more plumbers, welders, painters—everyone is chasing office jobs. Yet, the ones creating generational wealth are those with tools in their hands and solutions in their heads. Being a graduate shouldn’t stop you from picking up a skill. The world is changing, but are you? 2️⃣ Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome Everyone wants to hammer, but no one wants to suffer. There was a lady in my former church who kept disturbing me about venturing into tech because she heard I make good money. What she didn’t see were my 7 years of trials, the 2 years of no clients, the cancelled N2M deals, the sleepless nights, the rejections. You want what people have, but can you handle what they went through? Wealth takes time. 5 to 7 years of focused grind—minimum. Stop starting today and expecting harvest tomorrow. That’s not entrepreneurship; that’s fantasy. 3️⃣ Lack of Mentorship We spend millions to learn how to drive. But who teaches us how to make money, live purposefully, or build wealth? When Dr. Stephen Akintayo charges for mentorship, people cry scam. Yet they spend the same amount on phones, parties, and clothes. Poverty thrives where knowledge is undervalued. Mentorship is not free—it demands money or service. But it shortens your journey by years. Find someone ahead of you and serve your way into wisdom. 4️⃣ The “Only Me” Mentality We compete instead of collaborate. We want to outshine, not uplift. But the wealthiest communities—like the Jews—grow as a unit. Africa needs to understand: teamwork will take you farther than talent. 5️⃣ Lack of Integrity Our handshake is not worth a promise. We lie, we cheat, we scam—then pray for breakthrough. We must return to honesty, accountability, and trust. You can’t build lasting wealth without a name people can vouch for. 6️⃣ The Mentality Problem Survival Mentality: Just eating and breathing is not the goal of life. Receiver’s Mentality: Always collecting, never creating. Hunter’s Mentality: Eat today, die tomorrow. No long-term vision. 7️⃣ The Bandwagon Effect You start what’s trending, not what’s purposeful. That’s why we have failed forex traders, half-baked tech bros, and abandoned POS kiosks everywhere. Purpose is personal. You must find your lane, not just follow the noise. 8️⃣ False Priorities We put all hope in: God (without work) Classroom education (without skills) Government (without responsibility) Faith without works is dead. Education without action is useless. Government without personal accountability is hopeless. 9️⃣ Mindset is Everything Until your mind changes, your life can’t. You cannot carry a poor man’s mentality into a rich man’s future. Wealth starts from within. 🔟 Environment Shapes Destiny Your location can limit your vision. Surroundings influence success. You can’t live in a dump and dream of a palace without mental relocation first. Move. Change your crowd. Redesign your inputs. 💥 Until you break these chains, you will remain exactly where you are: educated, frustrated, and broke. The choice is yours. Be poor. Or rise. Your future is not a prophecy; it’s a decision. ✅ If this message stirred something in you, do this: 👍 Like this post 💬 Drop a comment that says “I choose wealth!” 🔁 Share with someone who needs this brutal truth 👣 Follow me — Damilola Adewuyi — your personal and business development partner 📍Let’s walk this journey together.
