TOPIC: THE PRESERVATION POWER OF PRAISE

SCRIPTURE: Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.
Psalm 32:7

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A major foundation for praise is thanksgiving. Until you are thankful, you can never be praiseful.

Our anchor Scripture makes us understand that praise is a preservative. Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble. And what does he use to preserve me? Thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. So, praise, worship, carry preservation power. They carry deliverance power.

How does praise preserve?

1. Praise is key to health and health is key to preservation.
Unhealthy people can be cut short before their time. A merry heart doeth good like medicine. Proverbs 17:22. So merriment, which is a major element of praise, carries healing power. An excited person will be healthier than a depressed person. Praise is key to health, which is key to preservation.

2. Praise is key to strength and strength helps to withstand adversity.
The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10. Your praise helps your strength. Praiseful people are strengthened people; they are not weakened people. Depression weakens; praise strengthens.

3. Praise is key to God’s Presence and God’s Presence is a preservative of life.
Thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Psalm 22:3

God lives in praise and anywhere God is, there is preservation. Those who praise God live in His Presence and His Presence is a preservative of life (Psalm 91:1-2).

4. Praise activates the covenant of longevity.
Isaiah 43:21 says, These people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.

When you know how to praise and worship, you are positioning yourself in the covenant of longevity. The breath of life you have is for the purpose of praising God Psalm 150:6).

When Hezekiah received the prophecy that he should set his house in order, that he was going to die, he pulled a trigger: For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth.

Isaiah 38:18-19. And his life was preserved and extended for fifteen more years.

5. Praise causes the Almighty to step into battles, turning enemy weapons against themselves.
And when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten. For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

2Chronicles 20:22-23.

6. Praise releases instruments of vengeance and judgement into the camp of the enemy.
Psalm 149:6–9 says, Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand; To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.

7. Praise brings direction and direction averts destruction.
2 Kings 3:15 says, …And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the Lord came upon him.

Direction came, Provision came and destruction was averted at the instance praise. Your praise can cause God to show you which way to go. A major foundation for praise is thanksgiving, and until you are thankful, you can never be praiseful.

Beloved, endeavour to live a praise-full life so you can enjoy the preservation power of God.

Remember This: A major foundation for praise is thanksgiving, until you are thankful, you can never be praiseful.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Acknowledge every act of God’s help, mercy and goodness in your life.

2. Be thankful to God for the gift of life.

3. Praise God continually for all His wondrous works.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for the revelation of Your Word, I receive grace to praise you always. help me to always acknowledge and appreciate Your interventions in my life, Lord, in Jesus Name.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 28TH APRIL, 2026 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE TRAP OF BITTERNESS.

SCRIPTURE: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled. HEBREWS 12:15.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Offences are inevitable, but bitterness is optional.

Our anchor scripture reveals that bitterness is not a small issue. It is described as a root. The root is hidden beneath the surface. It may not be seen immediately, but it is alive, growing, and influencing everything above it. When bitterness is allowed to take root in a person’s heart, it does not just remain; it troubles the individual and eventually affects many others.

Bitterness is the feeling or showing of anger, hurt, or resentment because of a bad experience or a sense of unjust treatment. In simple terms, bitterness is what settles in the heart when someone feels deeply wronged and refuses to release both the pain and the offender. In practical terms, bitterness is a combination of unforgiveness and deep displeasure over a wrong deed.

It is important to understand that offences are unavoidable in life. Jesus made this clear in Matthew 18:7 and Luke 17:1. Offences are inevitable, but bitterness is optional.

Now, what are the Roots of Bitterness
1. Unforgiveness from Human Wrongdoing
One major root of bitterness is unforgiveness arising from real wrongdoing. Sometimes the hurt is genuine. Joseph experienced betrayal by his own brothers. He was envied, sold, and treated unjustly. Yet Joseph refused to let bitterness define his destiny. If he had allowed bitterness to rule his heart, he would not have preserved a nation during famine. This teaches us that offences may come, but how we respond to them determines our future.
2. Envy and Jealousy
Bitterness can also arise from envy. Scripture shows that Jesus was delivered to be crucified out of envy Matthew 27:18. Paul faced opposition because of envy. Acts 13:45.
Envy distorts perception. It makes another person’s progress feel like a personal loss. When envy matures, it becomes resentment, and resentment becomes bitterness.
3. Frustration from Delays and Challenges
Another root of bitterness is prolonged frustration. Delayed expectations, repeated disappointments, and sustained trials can weaken emotional stability. Job reached a point where he spoke in the bitterness of his soul Job 7:11.
The Way Out of Bitterness
A. Releasing Bitterness Toward People
Holding bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting another person to suffer. Bitterness hurts the carrier more than the offender. Scripture reminds us in Romans 12:19 that vengeance belongs to God. Human actions cannot ultimately frustrate divine purpose. Joseph later declared in Genesis 50:20 that what was meant for evil, God turned for good.
Releasing someone does not mean denying the pain. It means surrendering judgment to God and freeing your heart.
B. Releasing Bitterness Toward Yourself
Some people are imprisoned by self-condemnation. They replay past mistakes and define themselves by failures. Micah 7:8 says, Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.
You cannot move forward looking backward. The future demands forward movement.
C. Releasing Bitterness Toward God
Sometimes people question God during hardship. Job wrestled emotionally. However, Scripture consistently affirms God’s faithfulness. Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 89:33–34.

Beloved, embrace the love of God today and walk away from the trap of bitterness and unforgiveness.

Remember This: Offences are inevitable, but bitterness is optional.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Quietly reflect and ask yourself: Is there anyone or any situation I still feel resentment towards? Write it down, pray over it, and consciously surrender it to God.
2. Prayerfully take deliberate steps towards forgiveness and emotional freedom.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for speaking to me today. Search me and reveal any hidden root of bitterness. I receive grace to release every hurt, every resentment, and every disappointment. Heal my heart and restore my peace, Lord in Jesus Name.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 27TH APRIL, 2026BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE PRINCIPLE AND POWER OF LOVE.

SCRIPTURE: And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. LUKE 10:27.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: What you give to others determines what God will give to you in this life and in the life to come

Love is the Nature and Character of God. According to 1 John 4:8, God is love. Now, if God is love and, in the beginning, God created the earth, it means love created the earth. That means the earth was created by love and so, it is meant to be operated by love.
If God is love and God made man in His Image, it means man was created in the image and likeness of love. Man was created to exist and function in love as a loving being.

The life of man on earth is malfunctioning because of man’s attempt to function outside love, his creative format. When you realize the level of wickedness and lovelessness, you will understand why life on earth is malfunctioning.

The story of the good Samaritan shows this clearly. The priest passed, looking the other way. The Levite also passed, looking away. But the Samaritan had compassion on the wounded man. He came down from his beast, bound his wounds, poured in oil and wine, set the man on his own beast, brought him to an inn, took care of him and paid the bill – Luke 10:30–36
Now, what is love all about?

1. Love is about treating others how you would love to be treated.
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12
2. Love is about possessing a healthy consideration for the feelings, emotions and hurt of others. You put feelings of others into consideration.
3. Love is about the maintenance of goodwill and kind-heartedness towards others.
Goodwill implies wishing people well.
What you don’t celebrate, you will never attract. Anywhere you see good things, be happy with them.
4. Love is about adding to the joy and fulfillment in the lives of others.
A person walking in love is a major joy contributor.
Ask yourself: am I contributing to the joy of those around me? Am I contributing to their sorrow? What you give to others determines what God will give to you in this life and in the life to come.
5. Love is about making a positive difference in the lives of others.
The purpose of contact is impact, meaningful positive impact.
Something became positively different because of you. The question is: what difference are you making? Is it positive or negative?
6. Love is about doing good for others without expecting anything in return.
When you do things for people because of what they can pay you, that is not love in action, that is business transaction. Love is about doing things for people who are in no position to do anything for you in return.

Beloved, you can interrupt your schedule. Just to assist someone. The Samaritan slowed down. Pay attention to someone in need of your comfort, love and goodwill today.

Remember This: What you give to others determines what God will give to you in this life and in the life to come.

ASSIGNMENT(S)
1. Decide to treat others how you would love to be treated in every situation.
2. Interrupt your schedule this week to pay attention to someone in need and make a positive difference in their life.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for loving me unconditionally. Help me, to extend your love to others Lord, in Jesus Name.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 26TH APRIL, 2026 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE PRESERVATION POWER OF THE BLESSING.

SCRIPTURE: Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought? Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:9–10

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.

It is not enough to only talk about the Blessing; it is important that we understand it. When understanding comes, faith becomes stronger. When understanding comes, confidence increases.

It is important to know that the Blessing did not only make Job increase; the Blessing also secured what it increased. The Blessing did not only multiply Job’s substance; it built a hedge of protection around him, his house, and all he had.

Here are three foundational truths about the Blessing:

1. The Blessing of God is an asset of unquantifiable value.

The Blessing of God is an asset whose value cannot be measured. It is beyond money, property and influence. You cannot quantify the Blessing because its value surpasses material resources.

Money can be counted. Houses can be numbered. Cars can be numbered and valued. But the Blessing of God cannot be accurately calculated. It is an invisible spiritual asset with visible physical results. That is why a man may not look impressive on the outside, but because he carries the Blessing, his life keeps moving forward.

2. The Blessing of God carries preservation power.

When people hear “Blessing,” they think of money, wealth, favor, fortune, and resources. But the Blessing does not only produce wealth; it carries preservation power. It protects what it produces.

There are people who make money but cannot keep it. There are people who rise but cannot sustain their rise. There are people who build but cannot preserve what they built. But when the Blessing is at work, what is produced is preserved.

The Blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.

3. The Blessing does not endanger the carrier; it preserves the carrier.

In the unbelieving world, when someone becomes wealthy he or she begins to look for protection against misfortune and premature death. When someone gets promoted people will begin to warn them to be careful because of envious and wicked people. But that is the opposite of the Blessing.

When God blesses you, you are not at the risk of being destroyed by haters or wicked people. Why? Because the Blessing positions the blessed in a realm beyond the reach of wickedness – Isaiah 33:15–16; Job 1:10.

Now, how does the Blessing preserve?

1. The Blessing establishes the Presence of the Lord around the life of the blessed, and the Presence of God is a preservative of life and destiny – Psalm 91:1–2.

2. The Blessing secures God’s Backing and Defence

The blessing comes with divine backing and defence – Genesis 20:3; Genesis 31:24.

3. The blessing establishes the terror of the Lord

The Blessing releases divine dread around the blessed – Genesis 9:1–2

4. The Blessing Impacts Strength and Might

A blessed man is a strong man. Strength is not only physical; it can also be spiritual and mental – Genesis 26:16.

Remember This: The blessing does not only give; it guards. It does not only increase; it insulates.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 24TH APRIL, 2026 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE MESSAGE OF THE RESURRECTION.

SCRIPTURE: Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
Psalm19:2

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Resurrection marks the end of one life and the beginning of another.

It is important to note that every situation arrives with a revelation. Everything is saying something. That means creation, circumstances, situations are all speaking.

In the same manner, the resurrection of Jesus Christ has a message.

Now, what is the message of resurrection

1. God Is the God of Love

The resurrection of Jesus Christ makes a symbolic declaration that God is love and that He is the God of love. To know God is to know love, and to walk with God is to walk with love. Jesus lived, died, and rose again because of love – John 3:16.

2. God Will Stop at Nothing to Fulfill His Plan

If He could give His Son, what can He not give to bring His purpose to pass in your life? Nothing is too much for God to give up in fulfilling His will – Romans 8:32.

3. God Is the God of a Second Chance

Humanity failed in Eden. All have sinned… Romans 3:23. But through redemption, God gave mankind another opportunity. The glory Adam lost was restored through Christ. The resurrection symbolically announces that failure is not final with God.

4. God Is the God of New Beginnings

Resurrection marks the end of one life and the beginning of another. The natural ended; the supernatural began. The resurrection is a declaration of fresh starts – 2 Corinthians 5:17.

5. God Is the God of All Possibilities

Raising Jesus from the dead after three days proves that impossibility is not in God’s vocabulary. He can do, undo, overdo, and super-do – Mark 10:27.

6. God Is the God of No Limitations

When God decides to move, no power can reverse it. If God has made you, no devil can unmake you. If God has done it, nobody can undo it – Isaiah 43:13.

7. God Is the God of Drastic Surprises

The enemy thought the Cross was his victory, but it was his defeat.
….Had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory 1 Corinthians 2:8. God took hell by surprise. The resurrection shows that God specializes in dramatic turnarounds.

8. God Uses His Enemies to Fulfill His Purpose

The very people who crucified Jesus were unknowingly fulfilling prophecy. What they meant for evil, God used for good. There were times when those who thought they were working against you were actually working for you.

9. God Does His Best After the Enemy Has Done His Worst

After the Cross came the resurrection. After the fire came promotion for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When the devil finishes his worst, the stage is set for God to do His best.

10. God Is Committed to His Word

Jesus said He would rise on the third day (Matthew 12:40). And He did. If God says it, it shall come to pass.

11. God Is the God of Complete and Surpassing Restoration

Job lost everything, and God gave him double (Job 42:10).
Before the resurrection, nets broke (Luke 5:6). After the resurrection, nets could not break (John 21:11).

12. God Is the God of Awesome Deliverance

There is no situation you enter that God cannot bring you out of. The resurrection proves that captivity is temporary. Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27.

13. God Is Omnipotent — Superior to Every Power

The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not (John 1:5).
Light is stronger than darkness. Love is stronger than hate. God’s power is superior to every power of hell.

Beloved, live your life with the consciousness that the same power that raised Christ from the dead is at work in you.

Remember This: Resurrection marks the end of one life and the beginning of another.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for the message of the resurrection. Let the power that raised Jesus from the dead work in my life and break every form of limitation in my life, Lord in Jesus Name.

ASSIGNMENT(S)
1. Boldly declare these:
a. God’s purpose for my life shall stand.
b. What the enemy meant for evil is turning for my good.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 23RD APRIL, 2026 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE GAINS OF SOUL WINNING

SCRIPTURE: Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When you commit to rescuing the lost, God commits to rewarding your life.

The Bible makes it clear that God is a rewarder of those who dutifully serve Him. God is not unjust to forget your labour. 1 Corinthians 15:58

Nothing you do in the Lord’s service is ever wasted. Nothing, whether it is speaking to a soul, praying for someone or inviting someone to church – Isaiah 45:19.

Beloved, it is not enough to know that profit exists; it is important to know what the profits are. This is because what is revealed determines what can be accessed. If you don’t know what is yours, you cannot possess it.
God is so concerned about the lost state of the world that He has packaged great rewards for those who will join forces with Him to rescue them.

Now, what are the gains or rewards of soul-winning?

1. Answered Prayer (John 15:16).

Bearing fruit that remains positions you for divine answers. You can shorten your prayer journey through soul winning. When you touch what concerns God, God responds quickly to what concerns you. When you commit to rescuing the lost, God commits to rewarding your life.

2. Divine Health and Strength

When you are committed to His work, He preserves you for greater productivity. Exodus 23:25 says, And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

3. Supernatural Supplies

God pays kingdom labourers. He that reapeth receiveth wages (Luke 22:35). To work for Him is to make Him responsible for you (John 4:36).

4. Divine Presence

When you go for souls, God goes with you. His Presence distinguishes you and opens doors money cannot open. His Presence makes the difference. Mark 16:20

When you are a soul winner, the supernatural becomes natural around you. You live in divine interventions.

5. Joy and Fulfillment

In Luke 10:17, the seventy returned with joy…. Soul winning produces deep joy. When you cause joy in heaven, no devil can deny you joy on earth. There is a kind of joy the world cannot give, and the world cannot take.

6. Power and Authority

Every authentic soul winner is an authority figure in the kingdom. Your level of command in the spirit shifts – Luke 10:19.

7. Access to Divine Wisdom

Proverbs 11:30 says, He that winneth souls is wise.
Soul winning activates divine mentality. You begin to function with heaven’s intelligence, ideas begin to flow and direction becomes clear.

8. Honour and Dignity

When you bring honour to God by gathering souls into His Kingdom, He places honour upon your life. What people struggle for begins to look for you – 1 Samuel 2:30

9. Stardom in the Kingdom

Soul winners shine effortlessly. God turns them into lights in their generation – Daniel 12:3.

10. Eternal Rewards

Soul winners do not arrive in eternity empty-handed. They have something waiting for them. They gather fruit unto life eternal – 2 Timothy 4:6–8.

Beloved, be deliberate. Be determined to live for what will matter at the end of your life.

Remember This: When you commit to rescuing the lost, God commits to rewarding your life.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1.Intentionally speak to at least one person per week about Christ. Pray for them, follow up, and believe God for the fruit that remains.

2. Make soul winning a part of your daily schedule.

PRAYER: Father, thank You for the privilege of partnering with You in rescuing the lost. I receive grace to be decisive, deliberate, and determined in living for that which matters at the end of life on earth, Lord in Jesus Name.

DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL FOR 22ND APRIL, 2026 BY DR PAUL ENENCHE

TOPIC: THE PROFIT OF LOVE.

SCRIPTURE: Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You can get what you expect out of life if you assist others to get what they expect out of life.

We live in a world that is filled with unpredictable people.

In our world today, we have four categories of people: first, those who pay no attention to good deeds done to them. Second, those who think it is their right for you to do what you did for them anyway, nothing like appreciation. These are those with an entitlement mentality. Third, we have the category of those who outrightly reward your good deeds with evil. You do good for them; you receive evil back. And then fourth, we have a tiny percentage of those who recognize and appreciate good deeds. They don’t take it for granted. They recognize it, they appreciate it.

The question one would love to ask is: in a world such as this, does it pay to do good anymore? Does it really pay to be loving and caring to people? Yes, it pays people to love and do good to people for many reasons.

a. It pays to love people because it is commanded by God. Mark 12: 29 -31.
b. It pays to love people because it is beneficial to our existence on the earth (Mathew 7:12).
c. It pays to love people because it is a determinant of our destiny in eternity (Romans 13:8-10).

What then is the profit of love?

1. The realization of life’s expectations. Once you are in the habit of loving people, you are guaranteed the realization of your life’s expectations. Help other people to reach where they are going, and you will get to where you expect to reach in life.

2. The reaping of appropriate harvest. Actions of love are seeds of good deeds that produce harvest after their kind. You may not have a positive response from the person you did the good deed for. But life is a fertile ground; what you sow in the now, you reap in the future – Ecclesiastes 11: 6.

3. Accessing the mercy of God. What you do with people determines what God does with you. Acts of mercy towards people provokes actions of mercy from God. We access mercy as we display love – 2 Samuel 22:26.

4. The explosion of unction and power. People who walk in love, walk in power.

Compassion towards people compels the unction from heaven. Love triggers the flow of supernatural power. You need power for daily living; you need power in business, in academic pursuit, in marital relationships, etc. And this power can come by the work of love – Matthew 14:14.

5. The release of life’s potential. God made man in His Image and God is love. When you walk in love, you walk in your original nature. There is nothing that limits destiny like lovelessness. Don’t play with bitterness. Don’t play with malice. When you walk with the right people, you go far, but when you walk alone, you may only walk fast. What you keep shrinks. What you share spreads – Genesis 1: 27, 1 John 4: 8.

6. The manifestation of the Presence of God. If God is love and man walks in love, man will naturally walk with God and His manifest Presence. People feel peace and calm around you because of the Presence of God around you – Amos 3: 3.

7. The possibility of eternity with God in heaven. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

1 John 3:14

Beloved, don’t let people’s actions cause you to stop loving; love is a commandment you must obey.

Remember This: You can get what you expect out of life, if you assist others to get what they expect out of life.

PRAYER: Father, thank you for your Word to me today. I receive the grace to walk in love as commanded. Help me to keep loving despite discouraging human behaviour, Lord in Jesus Name.

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Decide to walk in love for the sake of your existence on earth and eternity in heaven.

2. Ask God for grace to walk in love as commanded.
