Topic: Die-Less Passion For God [Seeds Of Destiny 4 March 2019 Devotional]
Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
SCRIPTURE: O God, thou art my God; early will I seek
thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry
and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so
as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Psalm 63:1-2
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
Previously, we have established that one of the secrets of seeing
greater glory of God in life is developing unconquerable passion for
God. (Exodus 33:18; Psalm 63:1-2). Your passion for God determines your
portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
One of the notable manifestations of deep passion for God is total
dedication to God. A passionate Christian is totally dedicated to God.
You cannot be passionate for God and not be dedicated to Him. A person
who lacks passion for God has zero dedication for Him. So, dedication is
a proof of passion for God; dogged dedication to God is a product of
die-less passion for God.
Now, one of the most vital proofs of dedication to God is dedication
to prayer and the Word of God. This means, one evidence of dedication in
the life of a Christian is his disposition to prayer and the study of
the Word of God. From our anchor Scripture, we understand that the
apostles made up their minds to devote themselves to prayer and the
ministry of the Word of God. This means, you cannot claim to be
dedicated to God and be prayer-less or wordless. The buoyancy of your
prayer life with the abundance of the Word in your spirit is proof of
your dedication to God.
Beloved, my counsel is, make up your mind to deepen your passion for God by giving yourself to prayer and the study of the Word.
Remember this: Your passion for God determines your portion in God; your passion for God determines your portion with God.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Make up your mind to develop a deep passion for God.
- Give yourself continually to prayer and the ministry of the Word.
PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for a die-less passion for
You. Give me the grace to pray continually and study Your Word
consistently, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Wherever God sees sacrifices, He releases
fire – the fire of passion and zeal; the fire of favour. That is why a
non-sacrificial Christian is a non-serious Christian. Culled from WHO
ARE YOU? by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Numbers 2:1 to 3: 51, Mark 11: 27 to 12:17, Psalm 47:1 to 9, Proverbs 10: 24 to 25.
