Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 11 September 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Dethronement By Negative Character
TOPIC: Dethronement By Negative Character (Seeds Of Destiny 11 September 2024)
SCRIPTURE: 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. – Isaiah 14:12-14.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: For instance, Lucifer lost his place of authority and eminence by the bankruptcy of character.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
The Scripture reveals that God’s purpose for His Children is to be positioned in places of authority. We are a city positioned on a hill, and so we cannot be hidden (Matthew 5:14-16).
However, one enemy of authority and influence is bankruptcy of character. For instance, Lucifer lost his place of authority and eminence by the bankruptcy of character.
In Ezekiel 28:12-16, one can see that Lucifer was the highest ranking being ever to be created by God, apart from man. One third of the angels in heaven were under his command. He was created as the cover of the Throne of God. He was the guardian, the ADC, as well as the commander of the worship company.
It looks to me like the angels had three groups: the war group under the command of Angel Michael, the wisdom and message group under Angel Gabriel and then, the worship and music group under Lucifer, the son of the morning.
But Lucifer was dethroned from heaven by the bankruptcy of character, and became a pauper in hell. Now, everyone can bind the devil; even a little child can bind and cast him out because of his lack of character.
Beloved, where humility ends, there authority dies. Lucifer was dethroned because of pride. He wanted to be like the Most-High God.
The major challenge of lucifer was his total bankruptcy of humility.
Pride is the enemy of power. Arrogance will suffocate authority.
Lucifer couldn’t sustain authority because of his pride. He couldn’t remain on top because solid character was lacking in his life.
Beloved, I decree that character bankruptcy will not deprive you of authority in life, in Jesus’ Name. Receive the grace to be humble in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: For instance, Lucifer lost his place of authority and eminence by the bankruptcy of character.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Don’t allow negative character make you lose your place of authority and eminence in life.
- Humble yourself before God and people so you can go up in life.
PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to remain humble always. Deliver me from falling into the temptation of arrogance and pride, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
