Awesome monday devotional by Dr.Pastor Paul Enenche.

SCRIPTURE: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. Philippians 3:13.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot walk backwards into tomorrow.

Previously, we established that there are destiny capsules a person needs in order to have a healthy and buoyant destiny. Just as capsules boost one’s health in the physical, there are also spiritual destiny capsules that are needed for destiny fulfilment. When these capsules are taken, destiny fulfilment is guaranteed.

Now, one of these destiny capsules is the release of the past. If you cannot release the negative past, then you cannot access the positive future.

Beloved, dragging yesterday into today makes arrival in tomorrow impossible. This means, until you forgive and forget the errors, mistakes, missed opportunities, hurts, pains of the past, you cannot access your future. You must forfeit and forgo both the opportunities and failures of the past because you cannot hold on to the past and lay hold of the future at the same time. You cannot walk backwards into tomorrow.

The reason why you failed before is so you can rise and start again. You might have missed an opportunity in life; the good news is several other opportunities are coming your way. Someone might have hurt you but do not be bitter. The hurt is to make you better.

Beloved, God can turn things around for you and against the devil if only you can decide to let the past go. Receive the grace to drop the past so you can reach where God wants you to reach in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: You cannot walk backwards into tomorrow.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Deliberately take a decision to forgive, forget and leave your past behind.

2. Decide to conceive a solid vision for your future.

PRAYER: O Lord, I receive the grace to forget my past. Give me a solid vision for the future, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

The word after it’s said

The moment after it's missed.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR. PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE)

SCRIPTURE: And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad. And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, wherefore look ye so sadly to day? Genesis 40:6-7.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your reaction is more important than your situation.

It has been confirmed that one of the key characters or attributes of great men is the maintenance of the attitude of excitement and expectancy in all situations. This is because the attitude of joy and expectancy is necessary for surmounting every situation of life.

From our anchor Scripture, we understand that Joseph was excited even in the prison. The prison was meant to be a place of sorrow but he was excited and also destroyed sorrow from the lives of other prisoners like him.

Now, take note of the following key thoughts on attitude:

1. If you have a setback, never take a step back, because every setback is a setup for a shift up

Joseph had a setback in life but his setback of going to the prison was a setup meeting with the butler for a shift-up of becoming a Prime Minister in Egypt.

2. Your attitude determines your altitude in life

How you feel determines how you fly.

3. Your attitude affects your aptitude

You can fail examinations if you are too fearful and not because you do not know the subject.

4. Your attitude affects your atmosphere.

There are people you drive away from your life because of the way you feel, look and act. These people cannot be comfortable near you.

Beloved, whatever you go through in life, refuse to lose your joy and hope. Excitement is joy while expectancy is hope.

Remember this: Your reaction is more important than your situation.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Always maintain the attitude of joy and excitement regardless of the prevailing situation.

2. Cultivate the lifestyle of praise and worship.

PRAYER: O Lord, I ask for the grace to maintain the attitude of excitement and expectancy always. Help me to praise and worship You at all times, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
