Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Be Mindful Of Your Association

Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 2 September 2023 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Be Mindful Of Your Association

TOPIC: Be Mindful Of Your Association (Seeds Of Destiny 2 September 2023)

SCRIPTURE: He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. Proverbs 13:20.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The quality of your company determines the quality of your destiny.

MESSAGE:

In life, I have discovered that association defines destination. Company affects outcome. The quality of your company determines the quality of your destiny.

I heard a story some time ago. A young lady, who was a virgin, went to see a medical doctor, and the doctor told her, “How can you still be a virgin at this age of yours? If you don’t sleep with men, you will get sick.” That must be a demonic medical doctor circulating an evil theory.

By the Grace of God, I am a medical doctor and I want you to know that nothing like that has been medically proven.

So, following the counsel of this medical doctor, the lady ignorantly and foolishly handed herself to a man who had a carnal knowledge of her. The most painful and regrettable thing was, at her first attempt at committing immorality, she got infected with HIV. The man did not only have immorality with her but also gave her HIV. What a tragedy!

Beloved, you must be very careful of the people whose instructions you follow. You must be very careful of the people who speak into your life.

Just like this lady, someone may attempt to smoke for the first time because of a counsel from a friend. Someone may decide to take alcohol for the first time because of a counsel from a friend. There are people in prison today because of the friends they associate with.

You must know that friendship is not by force; friendship is by choice. Do not let anyone force themselves on you, and do not force yourself on anyone. Love is a command, but relationship or friendship is a choice.

Even though we are commanded to love everyone, we are not commanded to make everyone our friend. So, love liberally but relate selectively. Love everyone but select your friends because your association determines your future.

REMEMBER THIS: The quality of your company determines the quality of your destiny.

ASSIGNMENTS:

Love liberally, but relate selectively. Be mindful of the people you associate with.
Disengage from every relationship or friendship that has a negative influence on you.
Always get a second opinion if you receive a dubious counsel such as the type the lady received.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to disengage from any toxic friendship I am currently engaged in. I ask that You give me the right association for destiny fulfilment, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Who surrounds you determines what you can survive. It is a matter of association. Culled from the book “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Ezekiel 25-27.

AMAZING FACT: The Baird’s whale, one of the beaked whales, has the most stomachs of any animal in the world, with up to 13 stomach chambers.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive the grace to get disconnected from every destructive relationship of your life today in Jesus’ Name.
