1ST SEPTEMBER 2024 SEED OF DESTINY WRITTEN BY THE SENIOR PASTOR, DR PAUL ENENCHE

SEED OF DESTINY WRITTEN BY THE SENIOR PASTOR OF DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE, DR PAUL ENENCHE.
Sunday 1ST September 2024.
TOPIC: WHY DO YOU GO TO CHURCH?
SCRIPTURE: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
Ephesians 4 verse 13. Hallelujah!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Many people come to church, but their character remains unchanged.
You are welcome to the ninth month in the year, 2024.
In this month, I decree that you shall exist in the realm of distinction and authority, in Jesus’ Name.
The Scripture makes it clear that a major work of a Christian ministry is the development of Godly character in the lives of people. The work of a Christian ministry and leadership is the development of Godly character.
Ephesians 4 verse 11 to 14 says,
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive,
From this Scripture, we can clearly see that the work of a pastor, apostle, prophet, evangelist or teacher of the Word of God is the development of Godly character in the lives of the people.
The major work of a pastor is not the performance of miracles or giving of prophecies, but the development of Godly character.
The pastor exists for the development of the character of God’s people. This is because God’s purpose for the establishment of the church is the transformation of the lives and destinies of His people.
However, many people come to church today, but their character remains unchanged. That is a waste of church attendance because the major reason why you go to church is for your character to be changed, and your life to be transformed. God positions the pastor in church to feed you with the word that is meant to effect a positive change and transformation in your character. These Words are meant to make your life reflect the Image of Your Maker.
And as you keep attending church and your character is being transformed, you would come to a point where your parents, spouse, children, workers, etc, can testify that you are a true child of God.
Beloved, make the positive transformation of your life your major focus for attending church. Let church service be a fertile ground for your character reformation.
Remember this: Many people go to church, but their character remains unchanged.
Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Make up your mind never to neglect the assembly of God’s people in church services.
#2. Allow God’s Word to change your life and develop in you a godly character as you attend church services from time to time. Yes sir!
Our PRAYER today: Father, I receive the grace never to miss out in the assembly of the saints in church services. I ask that You change me from within; transform my life, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

QUOTE: Authentic Christianity is about positive change of life and lifestyle. That is to say, anyone who has become a Christian or genuinely born again will experience a transformation of character and conduct by God.
