And he said, Jacob - *‭‭Genesis 32:27 KJV‬‬* •The first time Jacob was asked a similar Question was when he brought a meal to his father Isaac, and because he couldn't see, he asked Jacob, 'who art thou, my son?' Jacob answered, "I am Esau  thy firstborn " - *Genesis 27:18-19* •Thereafter, he received his father's Blessing meant for Esau, his older brother. The Blessing Provoked Great Blessings in his Life.

Heaven obeyed his words - *1 Kings 17:1* •The Secret of the Lord was with him.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                         *HOW HEARING AFFECTS YOUR FAITH* *By Pastor E O Gabriel   26 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. *Matthew 13:13.* *The right sound has been confirmed to be a necessary ingredient for the nourishment of faith. What you hear affects your faith. This is because faith cometh by hearing (Romans 10:17).* •Now, one way hearing affects your faith is,  •Hearing is a gateway to understanding. *Understanding brings faith. So, if you hear the right thing, you get the right understanding, and the right understanding births your faith.* •Matthew 13:13 says, Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. •Thi...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *THE BLESSING IN OBEDIENCE* *By pastor E O Gabriel   25 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured. *Proverbs 13:18* •The Scripture makes it clear that it is God’s Will for His children to prosper (3 John 1:2). It is the Will of God for His children to live in financial abundance (Zechariah 1:17) •Now, it is very important to note that while the Blessing of God is available to all His children, it is not accessible to everyone. There are keys to accessing the blessing of supernatural supplies.  •Today we shall be looking at one of such keys, and it is the key of OBEDIENCE. Instruction is connected to your provision; the refusal of instruction is the acceptance of frustration....

Proverbs 13:20 •Previously, we saw that the maintenance of the right company is key to vision fulfilment. We saw how the right company helped Daniel in fulfilling his vision. *Today, we shall be looking at the importance of the right company: 1. The right company brings a sharpening to vision and fulfilment to life and destiny (Proverbs 27: 17).  *•When you are at a point where what you are trusting God for appears not to be clear, where your life appears blunt, you connect with the right people to sharpen your vision and brighten your prospects in life.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *UNDERSTANDING THE FEAR OF GOD* *By pastor E O Gabriel   23 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding. *Proverbs 9:10* •Previously, we saw that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom •Today, we shall be looking at what the fear of the Lord implies. That is, what it means to fear God.  •Now, what is the fear of the Lord?   •i. The fear of the Lord implies reverence for God (Proverbs 8:13). □A person who fears God reveres Him. •ii. It implies deference to God, that is, to defer to God.  •This is to consult God as the final authority over your life in whatever you want to do. God has the final say in your life. (Proverbs 3:5-6). For a man or woman who fears God, God is first,...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *THE BLESSING OF KINGDOM SERVICE* *By Pastor E O Gabriel    22 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: You shall serve the Lord your God and He shall bless your bread and your water… *Exodus 23:25.* *□Previously, we saw that the blessing of supernatural supplies is one benefit of being committed to Kingdom service. If God does not beg you to serve Him, you won’t beg Him to bless you.* •This fact is corroborated by the following Scriptures:  •If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. Job 36:11 •Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. Psalm 35:27 •And he said unto them, When I sent you without...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                         *DISCERNING THE SPIRIT BEHIND THE SOUND* *By Pastor E O Gabriel   21 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. *Acts 16:17* ●In our earlier studies, we established that every sound has a spirit. If it is the Spirit of God, it transmits to you the Spirit of faith and life, and if it is the spirit of the devil, it transmits to you the spirit of fear and destruction.  ●From our anchor Scripture, we understand that there was a girl with the spirit of divination that followed Paul and his companions. She said, these are the men that show us the way of salvation.  ●The point is, what was wrong with the girl was not her statement but the spirit in the statemen...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                                 *QUALITY MIND-SET* *By Pastor E O Gabriel 20 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. *Proverbs 23:7* ●Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that the state of a man’s life is a reflection of the thought of his heart. Quality mind-set is key to quality living. The quality of your thought determines the quality of your life.  ●That is why you need to have the abundance mind-set in order to exist in abundance or supernatural supplies. You cannot exist in abundance when you always think of scarcity, lack, want, empty-handedness or shortage. ●You need the mind-set of abundance that is developed from the Word of God in order to guarantee a steady flow of supplies.  ●...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *THE RIGHT COMPANY: A PATHWAY TO VISION FULFILMENT* *By pastor E O Gabriel   19 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: He that walketh with wise men, shall be wise but a companion of fools shall be destroyed. *Proverbs 13:20* *●It has been established that the right company is critical to vision fulfilment.*  ●The right company is the equivalent of the right soil. What the right soil does to a seed is what the right company does to a vision. As fishes survive, thrive and flourish inside water, so also do visions and carriers of visions flourish in the presence of the right company. ●Now, I would like to give you one example of the right company in Scripture and its impact on vision. 1. Daniel.  ●Daniel, by the maintenance of the right company, fulfilled vision and destiny in the la...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *POWERING VISION UNTO FULFILMENT* *By pastor E O Gabriel  18 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. *Ezekiel 12:23* ●Vision is a critical necessity for life and destiny. However, it is not enough to possess a vision, it is important to have the vision fulfilled.  □●And if a vision must be fulfilled, it must be powered unto fulfilment.  ●Now, what are the things to do to power your vision unto fulfilment?  1. The Maintenance of Intimacy with God (Genesis 19:27) ●God is the Giver of every genuine vision. True vision originates with God, and it can only be fulfilled by relating wi...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                         *THE PROFIT OF WISDOM* *By pastor E O Gabriel  17 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: And unto man he said, behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding. *Job 28:28.* ●Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that the fear of God is wisdom and to depart from evil is understanding. ●Now, I want you to take note of these two key thoughts on wisdom: ●i. Wisdom is a critical requirement for profitable life in time and in eternity.  ●Ecclesiastes 10:10 makes it clear that wisdom is profitable to direct.  ●So, it is not possible to experience a profitable life in this world and in the world to come without wisdom. This means, the absence of wisdom is the abundance of losses, losses in this life and in the life to come. People lose where wisdom is lacking. People...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *THE POWER OF SOUND*  *By pastor E O Gabriel  16 June 2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. *John 6:63.* ●Sound has been confirmed to carry a dimension of power. There is power in sound, and this power has implications for your faith. The right sound has the power to keep your faith alive.  ●Now, what is the power of sound?  ●i. What you hear determines what you can believe; it also determines what you fear.  ●Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God (Romans 10:17).  ●Fear also cometh by hearing.  ●Deuteronomy 17:13 says, And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously. ●Can you see? All Israel shall hear and f...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                        *VISION FOR ABUNDANCE* *By pastor E O Gabriel  15 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. *John 2:5.* *●In life, perception is crucial to possession. What we perceive is critical to what we can possess.* ●That was what Mary’s statement to the servants at the wedding in Cana of Galilee as captured in our anchor text above demonstrated. Mary had already seen what was going to come before others saw it.  ●First, she told Jesus Christ that the people had no wine. The question is: Is Jesus Christ a wine-seller? No! Mary already saw the provision of the new wine before it happened.  ●Second, when the Master asked, woman what have I to do with you? (John 2:4), she turned her back at Him and faced the people and said: Whatsoever h...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                            *ACTING BASED ON REVELATION* *By pastor E O Gabriel  14  June 2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Matthew 13:8. ●In Matthew 13:1-9, Jesus gave the parable of the sower who went out and sowed his seeds. Some fell among thorns, some fell on the high way, some fell on the roadside and others fell on good ground. The ones that fell on good soil brought forth fruits in 30 folds, 60 folds and 100 folds.  ●Jesus went further to say that those which fell on good ground represent people who have a good and understanding heart.  ●The question is, if all of them have good and understanding hearts, why would they bring forth fruits in diverse and unequal measures? Some of them received...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *KEYS TO FINDING QUALITY RELATIONSHIP* *By pastor E O Gabriel    13  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24. •Relationship wisdom, as we have explored so far in our previous studies, is critical to successful living. How you live is a product of how you relate. Quality relationship leads to quality living. •Today we shall be looking at two keys to finding quality relationship: •i. Rely on Divine guidance.  •Rely on Divine guidance for the right relationship. (Proverbs 3:5-6). Let God lead you to the right people. Let God disconnect you from wrong associations. •ii. Be a friend indeed  •Proverbs 18:24 says, A man that hath friends must shew himself frien...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *LIGHT – A KEY TO DIRECTION* *By pastor E O Gabriel   12  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105. •In the physical, light is crucial to direction. The appearance of light is the disappearance of confusion and the appearance of clarity and direction.  *●As it is in the physical, so it is in the spiritual. Light brings direction for faith action. The light of Scripture opens up to you the direction for faith action. When light comes, you know the steps to take and the moves to make that would give birth to the results you seek.* •Psalms 119:105 says, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. This is direction! •Peter told Jesus: “I have toiled all night but I caught nothing. With this light now,...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *THE LIFTING POWER OF RESPONSIBILITY* *By pastor E O Gabriel   11  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. *Exodus 2:17* *●Responsibility has been confirmed to be a key to authority. The life of responsibility is no stranger to authority. Responsibility is a lifter of men and destinies.* •In Scriptures, men of responsibility were men of authority. One of such men was Moses. Responsibility was a key that lifted Moses to greatness. •We see one instance of Moses’ sense of responsibility in Exodus 2:15, when he was running away from Pharaoh. He fled to the land of Median and sat down by a well, probably wondering where next to go, where to sleep and what to eat.  •Then, some responsib...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                                *LOVE ABUNDANTLY* *By pastor E O Gabriel  10 June 2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. *1 John 4:8.* The Scripture makes it clear that God is love (1 John 4:8). And as children of God, we must love like He loves. We are to love one another. Even though we are not meant to relate with everyone, we have the commandment to love everyone. We are to love abundantly.  To love abundantly means to wish everyone well.  It means to hate nobody. Let goodwill flow from you towards everyone.  *• Don’t let the person who is not your friend become your enemy. Be excited, excitable and exciting towards people. Love abundantly. Multiply love in the house of God.* Don’t be part of those who sit and talk against others. There are ...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                         *REVELATION, A KEY TO POSSESSION* *By pastor E O Gabriel    09  June  2024 Share:*   SCRIPTURE: The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. *Deuteronomy 29:29.* It has been confirmed that one key to accessing supernatural supplies and provisions in the Kingdom is the Word of God. The Word is key to wealth.  The buoyancy of the Word in you determines the buoyancy of your supply. *Jesus Christ is the Word of God as revealed by John 1:1-5:* In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life...

  *WHAT HAVE YOU TAUGHT THEM?/ HAVING FORM OF GODLINESS / STOP BEING ALL RELIGIOUS ABOUT IT*.                                          It's amazing how parents want to raise children based on assumptions. They believe they should know without any input from their end.   Parenting thrives on instructions and training. It's impossible for you to raise a proper child without instructions. Not just instructions, but teaching. Taking time to let them know what is obtainable in an area of life.   It is not a one-time thing. It's a continuous conversation that yields over time.   Children, just like plants, will grow whether you tend them or not. The challenge is that the plant will grow wild with weeds and all sorts, which will not allow the farmer to enjoy his harvest. Why? You asked. The plant was not nurtured. It is amazing how we are quick to punish perceive...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                         *RESPONSIBILITY – A HIGHWAY TO AUTHORITY* *By pastor E O Gabriel   08  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. *1 Samuel 16:13.* *Responsibility is a major secret of destiny. People who accept responsibility fulfil destiny effortlessly.*  Today, we shall be looking at Scriptural examples of people who accepted responsibility and fulfilled their destiny: • i. Joseph In Genesis 40:6-8, Joseph saw two prisoners who were depressed and downcast. Remember that he was not the one who put them in prison.  He was not the person responsible for their sadness, yet he made up his mind to do something about their si...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND YOUR PEACE* *By pastor E O Gabriel   07  June  2024 Share:*  SCRIPTURE: And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *Philippians 4:7* ■ In life, wisdom is needed for successful and profitable relationship. The deployment of wisdom in relationship is key to destiny fulfilment. Many people think that they can relate with just anyone they see and still fulfil destiny, NO! To become who you are meant to be, it is not everyone that can be your friend. ■ Now, who should be your friend or are you to relate with? Relate with those who give you peace and rest.  ■ Do not force yourself to sustain a relationship in which your peace is lost. Now, one thing is crucial to note for those who are ...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *GOD’S PRESENCE AND SUPERNATURAL SUPPLIES* *By pastor E O Gabriel   06  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. *John 2:1-2* We saw in a previous study that the Presence of God attracts supernatural supplies. The fragrance of God’s Presence with a man is what is called Divine favour. Favour is pulled in the direction of Divine Presence.  From my personal experiences, I have discovered that it is not possible to be a Divine presence, Glory carrier and be short of supply, other things like covenant practices being in place. I have received gifts from people in different places. And this had happened in different countries. We didn...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *THE EFFECT OF LIGHT ON FAITH* *By pastor E O Gabriel   05  June  2024 Share:* SCRIPTURE: And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? *Acts 8:30* In a previous study, we saw that light or revelation from God’s Word is critical to keeping our faith alive. We saw that the reception of light equals the manifestation of faith. Now, how does light from God’s Word affect faith? *Light brings understanding and understanding births faith.*  When the Scriptures are opened up to you in light, it explodes your understanding of what God is saying to you, and that understanding explodes your faith. That is to say, the deeper your understanding the stronger your faith. We are at different levels of faith because w...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                          *UNDERSTANDING RESPONSIBILITY* *By pastor E O Gabriel   04  June  2024  Share:*   SCRIPTURE: But when the Jews opposed Paul and became abusive, he shook out his clothes in protest and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clear of my responsibility. From now on I will go to the Gentiles." *Acts 18:6 (NIV)* *Responsibility is key to possibilities in life. People who accept responsibilities see possibilities in life. People who accept responsibilities fulfil destiny.* I will like you to take note of the following key thoughts on responsibility: i. Responsibility implies being proactive instead of being reactive (Gen. 41:33-34) Responsibility is being responsible. It refers to being proactive instead of being reactive. It is living the life of proactivity i...
