Romans 10:17. Faith is critical to life and destiny. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. (Hebrews 11:6). So, to please God and fulfil destiny, your faith in God must be in place. Now, faith is in place when the revelation of the Word of God in the heart of a person produces a conviction that is strong enough to result in corresponding action. This means, faith begins with a revelation. Faith begins with the revelation of the Word of God. Romans 10: 17 says,  So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. So, it is not possible for faith to be in place where the Wor...

Your life cannot be higher than your level of devotion to God; and your destiny cannot be greater than your spirituality.  In scriptures, people of solid destiny were people of solid spirituality.  In our study today, we shall look at few examples of men of deep spirituality and impactful destiny: 1. Abraham In Genesis 12:1-5, we saw how Abraham got connected with God, and God gave him destiny direction. Abraham was led by God on the platform of his spirituality.  Also, in Genesis 19:27, we saw...

Similarly, the Promised Land, which the Lord Promised the children of Israel, was a Land flowing with Milk and Honey.  A Land where bread is eaten without Scarceness was a gated Land.  Jordan was the gate that led to the Promised Land. *What happens when the Gates are opened?* *(1)* The wrath of God...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                            *UNDERSTANDING THE FEAR OF THE LORD* *By Pastor E O Gabriel 28 December 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10. Our anchor Scripture makes it clear that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. To operate or manifest the Wisdom of God, the fear of the Lord is a capital requirement. Therefore, it is very important to know what the fear of the Lord is so we can be wise in life. What then is the fear of the Lord?  The fear of God is existing by Godly principles.  To exist in the fear of the Lord is to govern your life by the principles of God as found in His Word. To govern your life by the Word of God is to fear God. The fear of God is the refusal to take God for granted; it is the ...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *SERVICE TO GOD – A PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY* *Pastor E O Gabriel  27 December 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: Exodus 23:2 The consensus mind-set is one major killer of destiny. It is a dangerous kind of mind-set because of its tendency to follow the bandwagon. To follow the crowd makes people to be lost in the crowd. If you don’t have a mind of your own, you will follow the mind of others. *Serving God is a matter of personal responsibility. When your responsibility towards God is personal, your results become possible.* In Scriptures, those who made impact with God and in their generation took personal responsibility. David was one of such persons. He took personal responsib...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                            *THE POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS* *Pastor E O Gabriel   26  December 2024:Share*   SCRIPTURE: Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Ephesians 3:20. The power or force of thought can either confirm and empower your faith or counter and disempower your faith. What you allow to cross your mind from time to time either confirms and empowers your faith or confounds and counters your faith. Now, positive or optimistic thoughts confirm faith while negative and pessimistic thoughts confound, counter and disempower faith.   Proverbs 23:7 says, For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee. One day, Jesus wanted to heal a man bu...

 *SERVICE; A KEY COMPONENT IN YOUR PREPARATION* *THE SHEPHERD'S VOICE* FAMILY TRANSFORMATION* 25 December 2025 With Pastor pastor E O Gabriel   Mark 10:45 *"For even I,the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”(NLT)* Service is key in the place of preparation, no one leads correctly without serving correctly. Jesus said anyone among you who desires to be the leader must serve.  "But Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers in this world lord it over their people, and officials flaunt their authority over those under them. But among you it will be different. Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must become your slave. (Matthew 20:25 - 27NLT). Look for opportunities to serve, get into service, ask to be allowed to serve; never dodge service, when you run away from service you miss the equipment and impartation for your preparat...

One of the scenarios he Pictured for us is that the anger of Men against us, whether rightly or wrongly, would have swallowed us.  The anger of Men would have abruptly ended our lives. This calls to remembrance the anger of Ahithophel against David because of the evil deeds of David against Uriah, the Hittite - *1 Samuel 11* The anger of Ahithophel made him switch over to the side of Absalom, who rose against David, his father, to overthrow him as the King of Israel....

In the Anchor Bible Text, God Commanded that the Priests that bare the Ark of the Covenant will pass over the Congregation into Jordan. That as soon as the soles of the feet of the Priests shall touch the waters of Jordan, then shall Jordan part. *The Ark of the Covenan...

And when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over - *2 Kings 2:14 KJV* *Jordan parted thrice.*  First, for the children of Israel to walk through from the Wilderness to the Land of Promise.  Secondly, it parted for Elijah and Elisha for the handing over of Mantleship between the duo while the latter translated to Heaven.  Thirdly, it parted for Elisha to step into the shoes of his Spiritual father. *Therefore, let us continue the consideration of what happens when Jordan parts - The following are evident:* *(1)* Mockers will bow to...

John 2:17 Passion is a very essential ingredient in the pursuit of purpose and the fulfilment of destiny. Your passion releases in you the drive, energy and enthusiasm for the pursuit and accomplishment of the task. Your passion is that which releases the drive, energy and enthusiasm in you in the pursuit of your life’s assignment. *When you flow with your passion, you are tireless in life. Following your passion releases an unusual energy in you.* Sometime back, after a vigil, I told my Friend that I still had enough energy to go for another six hours. And he said, “Well. Leave us alone. Leave those of us who...
