🍒🌽 SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE BY DR PST PAUL ENENCHE. DATE: TUESDAY, 5TH. AUGUST, 2025. TOPIC: SIGNS OF THE END. SCRIPTURE: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-3 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: How you live on earth determines where you will spend your eternity. The scripture made it abundantly clear that we are in the last days. Though God never told us categorically when the end would come, He gave us signs and signals that will help us identify the end of the age (Matthew 24:36-43). So, God did not totally leave us in the dark, because with these signs, we can know that the end is around the corner. Today, we are going to look at the signs and signals of the last days. 1. The abundance of deception and falsehood. Matthew 24:5 says, For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Matthew 24:11 says, And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Now, one of the things that will indicate to us that we are around the end of age is the explosion of deception, an explosion of falsehood – many false prophets, false apostles, false teachers, false doctrines, heretic practices and operations. When we came to the Lord many years ago in the late 70s and mid-80s, there were a few mentions of the phrase, “False prophet.” I cannot even remember anyone identified as a false prophet in those days. People were genuinely passionate for God. But today, there are people who have no dealings with Jesus Christ at all, yet they are parading themselves with all manner of titles. They don’t even know what it means to be born again. People who should have been native doctors or witch doctors are wearing suits and ties as pastors and preachers, apostles and prophets. The challenge right now is that there are fake and false ones who are being celebrated as real and there are real ones who are suspected of being fake. I once came across someone who said that she went to a place where she paid almost a million Naira for deliverance, healing or help, and at the end of the day, no solution. 2. The abundance of conflicts, crises and wars on the earth. It was predicted in Scriptures, in the Sixth Verse of the Twenty Fourth Chapter of Matthew, …And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. There is an abundance of conflicts, crises, and tensions everywhere across the globe. Almost everywhere in the world you hear about wars and rumors of wars. Beloved, everything points to the fact that we are in the last days. How you live on earth determines where you will spend your eternity. The question is, where would you be if the rapture happened now? where would you be if God said your time on earth was up? Think about it! Remember this: How you live on earth determines where you will spend your eternity. ASSIGNMENT (S): 1. Refuse to live in sin. 2. If you have not given your life to Christ, do it now. 3. Invest in things that will matter after time. Live ready! PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to live upright so I can spend my eternity with You at the end of time, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Father, help me not to miss it at the end of the day, Lord in Jesus Name.

🚨 BIG BUDGET UPDATE! Over 50% of Nigeria’s 2024–2025 Projects Are Heading to the North! 🇳🇬 The Director-General of the Budget Office, Tanimu Yakubu, just dropped a major clarification: More than half of Nigeria’s capital budget for 2024 and 2025 is allocated to projects in the Northern region This comes after criticism from some Northern leaders, including former Kano Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and ex-SGF Babachir Lawal, who claimed the region was being sidelined. But Yakubu says otherwise the North is a TOP priority for federal investment 🔥 Key Projects in the North: ✔ Abuja–Kano Expressway Dualisation – Smoother, faster travel! ✔ Sokoto–Badagry Superhighway (₦12.1T!) – A game-changer for West African trade! ✔ Kano–Maradi Rail Line – Boosting cross-border commerce! ✔ New Inland Dry Ports (Funtua & Bauchi) – Easier exports for farmers & businesses! ✔ Upgraded Airports (Kaduna, Maiduguri, Katsina) – Better connectivity! Yakubu also highlighted massive investments in water basins, power lines, and security to tackle floods, boost farming, and stabilize troubled areas. 💡 YOUR TAKE? Do you think these projects will truly benefit the North? Or is more transparency needed?

Rio Ferdinand has criticised Arsenal’s reported pursuit of Eberechi Eze, questioning where the Crystal Palace midfielder would fit into Mikel Arteta’s system. “I don’t think Arsenal need Eze. Why do they need him? Where is he going to play?” Ferdinand said. “You’ve got Martin Zubimendi as a holding midfielder, Declan Rice on the left of the No.8 role, and Martin Ødegaard on the right. “Then there are the wingers — Noni Madueke or Gabriel Martinelli. Eze operates in the same area as Rice. If Rice played as a holding midfielder, I’d take Eze in a heartbeat. He’d add depth and allow rotation. But if Rice gets injured, who’s the replacement? Max Dowman.”Always a hater

Some of Nigeria’s best exports are actually imports. Tonight, I just finished watching the D’Tigers defeat Senegal in an intense basketball match, and something stood out not just the game, but the faces, the names, the energy. What I saw were Americans… with Nigerian blood. Kids raised in world-class facilities abroad many by immigrant parents, yet they return with pride to wear the green-white-green. They didn’t just show up; they showed out. Their discipline, exposure, mindset, and performance scream of an upbringing shaped by good systems, systems that allowed them to dream beyond survival. And I can’t help but give kudos to Nigerian parents in the diaspora, especially Igbo parents for doing something powerful: reminding their children of home. Teaching them their roots while giving them wings. In fact, I think one of the greatest blessings Nigeria has received lately is the “importation” of our own children, originally born here or of Nigerian origin but trained abroad, and brought back with excellence. Whether it’s in sports, education, or innovation these second-gen Nigerians keep raising the bar. They’re built by better systems, yet shaped by a deep cultural identity. So anytime I feel tired of Nigeria… Anytime someone feels like leaving the country… I remind myself: go if you must but raise something solid. Raise children that will one day return and light up the continent with brilliance. We may not have the system that builds champions yet, but we sure have the spirit that produces them. And now, Huge congratulations to the D’Tigress on defeating Senegal 75–68 to reach the final of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AfroBasket for six time in a roll. Raise the bar to a higher standard #ProudlyNigerian #DiasporaImpact Ifeanyi Christopher

*I shut my office door and wept. I couldn’t hold back the tears especially after stepping into the female hostel, now overcrowded*. *Every single girl under our care this session is under 25 years old. Some are just 12. And here’s what breaks my heart even more-none of these girls were rescued from the streets*. *Every one of them was brought in by their own parents. While checking in bags at both the girls’ and boys’ hostels, we found paraphernalia-evidence of addiction, rebellion, deep-rooted pain…* *This is not just a problem. This is a pandemic*. *Let’s stop pretending. Let’s stop covering our eyes*. *Things are NOT right with our Youths*. *Today, i read about a young man expelled from Babcock University-a teenager with a ₦100,000 ritual soap from a herbalist.* *He borrowed ₦500,000. He became a drug peddler.* *Not from a poor home. Not a street child. But a well-groomed boy from a comfortable background. Wetin him dey find? KILO NWA KIRI !!!* *What is going on with our YOUTHS? Why this desperation for quick wealth*? *What has happened to HARD WORK, INTEGRITY, and DIGNITY*? *Last week, we struggled to find a tiler for one of our projects. We had to bring in one from Togo. Why*? *Because our own YOUTH do not want to learn any skill*. *They don’t want SCHOOL.* *They want “HOOKUP*” *They want “YAHOO*.” *They want to do nothing but SCROLL, LIE, PARTY and they want MONEY FAST*. *And let’s be real. You cannot do Yahoo or Hookup without drugs or Alcohol. They go hand in hand*. *My heart is heavy. Are we just going to fold our hands and watch this generation waste away*? *PARENTS! Wake up*! *Where are you*? *Why the silence*? *Why the complacency*? *Why are some of us condoning and funding this destructive lifestyle*? *Your child doesn’t need a new PHONE-they need PURPOSE*. *They don’t need more DATA-they need DISCIPLINE*. *They don’t need “FREEDOM”-they need BOUNDARIES*. *We cannot keep blaming SOCIETIES, FRIENDS, INFLUENCERS. It starts from the HOME*. *Please, let’s start talking again*. *Let’s check their bags*. *Let’s check their hearts*. *Let’s check ourselves*. *To every Parent reading this please be present*. *Your child doesn’t just need your MONEY; they need your TIME and VOICE*. *Ask questions. Don’t be afraid to dig deeper, even if it’s uncomfortable*. *Teach values. Wealth is GOOD, but WISDOM, CHARACTER, and CONTENTMENT are better*. *Be their safe space. If you don’t listen, the world will and it will feed them lies*. *Let’s rise up and fight for the souls of our children. We may not be able to save all, but we must not give up on the ones we can reach* *They are not just the future-they are our now*. _*Let’s not lose them...*_ *WHEN PARENTS FAIL – HOW LACK OF DISCIPLINE IS CREATING A GENERATION OF LOST SOULS* There was a time when parents raised warriors. Now, they raise weaklings. A time when children feared their fathers’ discipline. Now, children insult their fathers online. A time when a slap from your mother could reset your entire future. Now, mothers watch their children twerk for clout. The world changed—not because evil became more powerful, but because parents became weaker. Children no longer have boundaries. No fear. No respect. No discipline. And the result? A generation that mocks God, worships vanity, and embraces sin with pride. *BRUTAL THREAD:* 1. *CHILDREN WITHOUT DISCIPLINE BECOME ADULTS WITHOUT SELF-CONTROL* A child who never hears “NO” at home will hear “NO” from life when it’s too late. The boy who was never told to control his desires will become a man addicted to sex, gambling, and laziness. The girl who was never told to respect herself would become a woman who exposes her body for money and attention. The child who was never corrected for lying will become an adult who deceives, manipulates, and steals. If parents don’t discipline their children, the world will punish them later. 2. *THE FALL OF FAMILY VALUES IS THE RISE OF MORAL DECAY* What happened to parenting? Mothers used to teach daughters how to be women of dignity. Now, they encourage them to “secure the bag” by any means. Fathers used to teach sons how to be responsible men. Now, they are absent—either too weak, too distracted, or too scared to lead. So children are now learning from TikTok instead of home, and the internet is raising a generation with no fear of God and no sense of direction. 3. *PARENTS WHO SPOIL THEIR CHILDREN ARE DESTROYING THEM* Giving your child everything they want is the fastest way to ruin them. A child who never worked for anything will grow up lazy and entitled. A child who was never disciplined will grow up thinking life has no consequences. A child who was never corrected will grow up believing they can do anything and get away with it. Now, we have a world full of adults who can’t handle rejection, can’t handle failure, and can’t handle life. 4. *WHEN PARENTS CHOOSE FRIENDSHIP OVER LEADERSHIP, CHAOS FOLLOWS* Many parents today want to be their child’s friend instead of their leader. So instead of saying: ❌ "This behaviour is wrong!" They say, "She’s just expressing herself." ❌ "You must work for what you want!" They say, "Let me buy it for you." ❌ "This is not acceptable!" They say, "I don't want to hurt their feelings." And just like that, we have a generation of weak people who cry over small problems and break down when life gets tough. 5. *THE NEW GENERATION LOVES PLEASURE BUT HATES RESPONSIBILITY* Discipline used to be normal. Now, a child calls it "abuse" when a parent corrects them. Now, teachers can’t discipline students because "it’s too harsh." Now, young people demand freedom but reject accountability. Everyone wants to enjoy, but no one wants to work. And this is why: The streets are full of lazy men chasing quick money. Social media is full of young girls selling their bodies for attention. Homes are full of broken families because nobody was raised to be a good partner or parent. 6. *WHEN CHILDREN LOSE DISCIPLINE, THEY LOSE THEIR FUTURE.* Many young men today are addicted to masturbation, pornography, and cheap pleasure—because nobody taught them self-control. Many young women today expose their bodies for social media likes—because nobody taught them self-respect. Many young people today are broke, weak, and mentally unstable—because nobody taught them how to survive hardship. The devil is not the problem. The parents failed. 7. *IF WE DON’T FIX PARENTING, THE WORLD WILL GET WORSE.* If we continue like this, the next generation will: ⚠️ Have no morals. ⚠️ Have no work ethic. ⚠️ Have no fear of God. Society will collapse—not because of demons, but because of poor parenting. *BOTTOM LINE:* If you are a parent, discipline your children. If you are young, discipline yourself. Because the world will not be kind to those who were raised without discipline. *Let’s raise warriors, not weaklings.* *Pls forward this to family and friends, especially to those with young and teenage children* *May GOD help us all.*
