SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE

TOPIC: SAY, ‘NO’ TO THE FLESH

SCRIPTURE: Look carefully then how you walk! Live purposefully and worthily and accurately, not as the unwise and witless, but as wise (sensible, intelligent people), Making the very most of the time [buying up each opportunity], because the days are evil. EPHESIANS 5:15-16 AMP

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you cannot control yourself, you can never control your destiny.

It has been confirmed that God never created anyone to be wasted. No one was created to be irrelevant. But there are enemies of destiny that are designed by the enemy to render people useless on earth. We don’t have a spare life, so it is crucial to deal with any enemy that wants to waste our time and existence on the earth.

So, today, we are dealing with one of the enemies of destiny called the lack of self-control or a life of indiscipline. This is living a kind of life where everything goes. It is living a kind of life where a person has no power to do the right things that he wants to do or avoid the wrong things that he doesn’t want to do.

Please note the following about discipline and self-control:
a. There is no destiny without discipline. For instance, Esau, who sold his birthright for a morsel of meal, had no discipline, so he had no destiny. He could not say, ‘NO’ to his appetite, and that ruined his life and destiny.
b. If you cannot control yourself, you can never control your destiny.

c. Self-control is a product of mind control (Proverbs 4:23). So, if you cannot control what goes into your mind, you will never be able to control what flows through your life.

d. It is the strength of your will that undergirds the strength of your destiny. Those who have strong destiny have strong decision power.

When I was in courtship with my wife, we agreed with each other that the day immorality entered the relationship before marriage would be the end of the relationship. That is, we literally signed an undertaking that marriage would never happen if immorality was involved. The courtship lasted for two years and four months. And by the mercies of God, that strength of will and the grace of God saw us through.

Beloved, make up your mind to do what is right. Anyone who is controlled by the flesh is under the spell of failure. You must learn to say, ‘NO!’ to the flesh. Wake up when you need to wake up. Say, NO!’ when you need to say, NO!’

REMEMBER THIS: If you cannot control yourself, you can never control your destiny.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Ensure that at least a scripture enters your spirit daily.

2. Take out at least a day in a week to fast and pray.

3. Ask God for the grace to say, ‘NO!’ to the flesh.

PRAYER: Lord, set me free from the flesh and its desires. I receive the grace to say, ‘NO!’ to the flesh and ‘YES’ to Your will, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Until your character is adjusted, your destiny cannot be established. Culled from the book, 30 Secrets to the Top by Dr Paul Enenche.

AMAZING FACT: When a pride of lions has just established a new territory, the male will let out a loud and deep roar that can be heard up to five miles away. They do this to maintain territory and to scare intruders.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive grace and help to overcome the lack of self-control in Jesus Name.

7 WAYS MEN WASTE MONEY TRYING TO IMPRESS GIRLS THAT DON’T EVEN RATE THEM

Because some of you are not lovers… you’re part-time ATM machines with emotions.

Dear Bros,
This post will offend you, heal you, and maybe save your account balance from future disgrace.
Because truth be told —
You’re out here losing sleep (and cash) over a girl who replies your “good morning” text 7 hours later with “aww .”

Let’s dissect this financial madness:

1. “Let Me Just Send Her Something Small” – The Bank of Simp & Sons
You just met her last week.
No connection. No chemistry. No commitment.
Yet suddenly she’s getting “lunch money,” “data money,” “hair money.”

She’s not your girlfriend.
She’s not your sister.
She’s not even your crush — you’re just a volunteer donor.

Bros, your generosity is not romantic when it’s not appreciated or returned.
It’s just financial self-destruction.

2. Borrowing Money to Fund Her Soft Life
You’ve got bills you haven’t paid.
Your landlord is texting in ALL CAPS.
Your car needs gas. Your stomach needs food.

But because she said she likes “guys who spoil their women,”
You borrowed $100 to take her to a fancy restaurant you’ve never even entered before.

You’re not loving — you’re gambling… with poverty.

3. Clubbing With Girls Who Came With Power Bank Boys
You paid for the table.
You bought the drinks.
You even ordered the bottle parade.

But she’s dancing with another guy.
You? Just standing near the ice bucket like the unpaid security.

And the next morning, your account balance looks like a crime scene.

Congratulations.
You just paid for strangers to flex while you drank regret on the rocks.

4. Buying Gifts for Girls Who Don’t Even Remember Your Birthday
You’ve bought her wigs, perfume, concert tickets, even paid for her broken phone screen.

But when your birthday came,
She posted: “Happy birthday dear. LLNP.”
No emoji. No love. No dignity.

Yet you're still planning a surprise for her next weekend?

My brother, this isn’t love. This is financial witchcraft.

5. Paying Her Bills While Yours Are Rotting
Your rent — unpaid.
Your parents need help — ignored.
You’re eating dry cereal and vibes.

But her electricity bill? Paid.
Her lashes? Refilled.
Her peace of mind? Sponsored by your silent suffering.

Who cast this spell on you?

6. Impressing Her Friends While She’s Laughing About You With Them
You booked Uber for all her girls.
You paid for the food. Covered the after-party.
Even sent money for their “little drinks.”

Meanwhile, in the group chat?
They’re calling you “Mr. Money-But-No-Sense.”

If you must spend, let it be on someone who sees you — not someone collecting freebies while planning her future with another man.

7. Forcing Love Where Attention Is Not Mutual
You double text. Triple call.
You send “Are you okay?” every hour.
You check her story like it’s breaking news.

She responds every 3 business days like she’s running a tech company.
Yet somehow, you still send her $10 for “breakfast.”

Bro. Wake. Up.
You’re not building love — you’re funding content.
She’s just using your kindness to live soft online.

TRUTH BOMB
If a woman actually respects and likes you,
You don’t have to perform financial gymnastics to earn her presence.
You don’t need to bleed your account to buy her loyalty.

Real women respect your effort.
Fake ones only respect your wallet.

Stop wasting money on girls who treat you like a mobile charity.
You’re not broke — you’re just spending foolishly in the name of love.
