SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR WEDNESDAY 23RD JUNE 2021 – FAITH – SEEING WHAT GOD SAYS

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 23rd June 2021 Is “Faith – Seeing What God Says

Understanding is the bedrock of faith.

Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Thought for The Day: Understanding is the bedrock of faith.


PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 23RD JUNE 2021.

It was established in our study yesterday, that faith is a mystery. But it is a very important mystery that must not be allowed to remain a mystery because our spiritual worth and wealth are anchored on our faith (Hebrews 6:12).

So, there are things that we can never access without faith. There are realms in God we can never experience without faith.

The question then is: what is faith? Let us go further in our journey to unravel faith.

Faith is seeing what God says.

This means, God said it, you did not just hear it; you saw it. Where faith is concerned, what the Word of God says is not information; it is revelation (Habakkuk 2:1).

The story of the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts 8:30-31 and 36-38 confirms that faith progresses from understanding to belief, and from belief to result. That is the faith linear equation.

This means, when we say God said it, and you saw it, it is very clear to you.

Have you ever had an experience of someone explaining something to you and you said, “I don’t understand what you are saying”? Then he went further to give you details. And then suddenly, you began to say, “I see! Oh! Is that what it is? I see!”

Now, did you see it with your physical eyes? No! Your understanding deepened to the point where you didn’t just hear what was said; you saw it.

So, understanding is the bedrock of faith. The depth of your understanding in the Word of God determines the strength of your faith. Faith is therefore, impossible where the Word of God is not deeply understood.

Remember this: Understanding is the bedrock of faith.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make demands on the Help of the Holy Spirit for a good understanding of God’s Word.

2. Create a serene atmosphere when you study the Word of God.

3. Trust God for the revelation behind every Scripture you read.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: UNRAVELLING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH (PART 1).

PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes to see the revelations in Your Word. Give a deeper understanding of Your Word Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Psalm 136-138

QUOTE: Your faith determines your fortune in life. Culled from “22 LAWS OF LIFE” (VOL. 1) by Dr Paul Enenche.

REFLECTION: Success in every realm is a product of understanding. Children with good understanding in school end with good success. In the world of faith, understanding also is a capital asset. Will you trust God to shift levels in your understanding of the Word?

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Grace for deeper understanding of God and His Word be released on you in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR TUESDAY 22ND JUNE 2021 – UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 22nd June 2021 Is “UNVEILING THE MYSTERY OF FAITH

The quality of a Word is determined by the quality of the speaker.

Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:9

Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience.

Thought for The Day: The quality of a Word is determined by the quality of the speaker.


PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 22ND JUNE 2021.

The Bible identifies faith as a mystery. That is, something that could be difficult to understand. But it is a very important mystery that must not be allowed to remain a mystery because our lives, both in quality and durability depends on our faith (Habakkuk 2:4, Galatians 3:11).

The question then is: what is faith? Let us begin to unravel the mystery of faith.

Faith is judging Him faithful who has promised (Hebrews 11:11).

Other people may accuse or suspect God, but people of faith judge Him faithful.

Every word is as good as the one who spoke it. The quality of a word is determined by the quality of the speaker.

It was said that in a meeting some time ago, the speaker admonished the men to love their wives. Then, he asked them, “When last did you tell your wife ‘I love you?’”.

Many men couldn’t respond. He said, “Okay, send a text message to your wife now from this meeting and tell her, ‘I love you’”.

They did. And when their wives got the text message, there were different responses and reactions from the wives. For example, one of the women upon receiving her husband’s message said, “Kai! This man is drunk again. When will you stop this drinking?” This was because such statement coming from her husband was strange to her. It could only come out of drunkenness.

Another woman said, “Ah! Do you want me to lend you money again?” Serious matter!

The meaning of that is, don’t mind the word if the speaker is not someone to mind. But you must mind the word if the speaker is someone to mind.

So, if the Almighty God who cannot lie said, No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper… (Isaiah 54:17). That Word is good because the speaker is good. It is quality, durable and reliable because the Person who spoke it is quality, durable and reliable.

Remember this: The quality of a word is determined by the quality of the speaker.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Study the Word daily and believe whatever the Word says no matter what is happening around you.

2. Think about how God intervened for you or for someone else, in situations that looked hopeless and let it boost your faith in Him.

3. Note this: God is always faithful.

PRAYER: Lord, reveal Yourself to me. Let the knowledge of You impart me with strong faith and confidence in You Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

DAILY BIBLE READING: Psalm 133-135

QUOTE: What you believe is a vehicle to where you arrive. Culled from “22 LAWS OF LIFE” (VOL. 1) by Dr Paul Enenche.

REFLECTION: Are you 100% confident that God is reliable, dependable and trustworthy? Or do you suspect God? Do you think He is partial or is not fair to you? That is an agenda of the enemy to destroy your faith. Whatever happens, God is faithful.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: I decree that you shall experience the faithfulness of God in your life in this season in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR THURSDAY 29TH APRIL 2021 – ACTING BASED ON REVELATION

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 29th April 2021 Is “ACTING BASED ON REVELATION

It is time for us to stop doing things religiously and start doing them revelationally.

Scripture: Matthew 13:8

But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. .

Thought for The Day: It is time for us to stop doing things religiously and start doing them revelationally.


PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 29TH APRIL 2021.

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 30 folds, others received 60 and others 100 folds. This is because their level of understanding differs. The only constant factor here was the good soil; the difference was in their level of understanding.

So, it is time for us to stop doing things religiously and start doing them revelationally. Ask the Lord to open your eyes to see His Word.

There was a Scripture I saw many years ago that changed my life. Everybody looked for gold but in 1 Kings 10:14, gold looked for (went to) Solomon:

Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.

The Bible did not say the weight of gold that Solomon looked for, but …the weight of gold that came to Solomon…

This means, gold is mobile and active. You do not need to struggle for it to have it; it can come to you and for you. And since I caught this revelation, gold has been coming to me.

Remember this: It is time for us to stop doing things religiously and start doing them revelationally.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Refuse to do things religiously; do things by revelation.

2. Let the revelation of the Word of God be the backbone of all your actions.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace not to do things religiously but revelationally. Let the revelation of Your Word be the backbone of all my actions, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE:  ABUNDANCE IN THE GLORY.

QUOTE: Any money you spend to increase yourself, to learn a trade, to learn a skill, to purchase Bible resources and increase your revelation or information, is never wasted. It will pay you in time to come. Culled from “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Job 13-15

AMAZING FACT: Elephants from the same herd will often use touch to greet each other, either wrapping their trunks around each other or giving each other friendly “hello” taps on the body.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Your revelation-based actions shall change your life in this season in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR TUESDAY 27TH APRIL 2021 – FROM SEEING IT TO HAVING IT

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 27th April 2021 Is “From Seeing It to Having It

The revelation you are working with is the basis of your expectation for supernatural supply. What are you expecting and why are you expecting it?

SCRIPTURE: Luke 5:5. 

Master, I have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at thy Word I will let down the net.

Thought for The Day: When you see things out of the Scripture, you can seize them out of life.


It has been established that revelation is key to possession. Revelation is key to abundance. When you see things out of the Scripture, you can seize them out of life.

Now, the way you have the scriptural revelation that guarantees your physical health is the same way you have the Scriptural revelation that guarantees supernatural supply for you. With the right revelation for supernatural supply or financial prosperity, you will never be poor in life; rather, money will look for you. I do not pursue money. In fact, many times, we forgot to take offerings in church and the congregation have had to remind us to take the regular service offering on many occasions.


Beloved, the revelation you are working with is the basis of your expectation for supernatural supply. What are you expecting and why are you expecting it? The extent of your revelation is the extent of your provision. Peter told Jesus, “Master, I have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at thy Word I will let down the net” Luke 5:5.

Beloved, it is possible for all of us to pay tithe, give seeds and receive returns at the same level. But it is not what you do that determines the result but the revelation with which you do it.

In our orthodox churches in the village, church members also pay tithe. To them, it is a mere religious obligation without any commensurate spiritual implication, so they do it like a donation. They never expected anything out of it because there is no revelation backing their action.

This shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.

Remember this: When you see things out of the Scripture, you can seize them out of life.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Make up your mind to see what God shows from the Scripture.

2. Ask God to destroy any covering veil of ignorance that is hindering you from seeing what is yours.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for Your Word to me today. I ask that You open my eyes to see out of Scripture what You want me to experience in my life, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE:  ABUNDANCE IN THE GLORY.

QUOTE: Your sense of self confidence is enhanced by the possession of quality information. Culled from “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Job 7-9

AMAZING FACT: Asian elephants have one more toenail on each foot than African elephants. Asian elephants have five toenails on the front feet and four on the back feet, while African elephants have four on the front and three on the back. What a wonder of creation!

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Begin to have it as you see it from this day in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR THURSDAY 18TH MARCH 2021 – “DREAMING” YOUR DESTINY

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 18th March 2021 Is ““DREAMING” YOUR DESTINY”

Joseph’s great dream life was the secret of his great destiny.

SCRIPTURE: Genesis 37:5.

And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Joseph’s great dream life was the secret of his great destiny.


PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 18TH MARCH 2021.

The Scripture makes it clear that Joseph was a great dreamer. His great dreams must have imparted him with the right mentality that made him arrive at a great destiny.

While his brothers were busy playing, he was busy dreaming.

I will like you to take note of this again:

And Joseph dreamed a dream… (Genesis 37:5).

Please note that the Scripture did not say Joseph had a dream but he dreamed a dream. The Bible did not say he slept in the night and had a dream. The normal thing to say is, “Last night, I had a dream”. But the Scripture says, And Joseph dreamed a dream…

It is also interesting to note that the Bible did not even mention that Joseph slept. There was not even a record or an indication that his dream happened at night.

He told his brothers, For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. Genesis 35:7.

So, they asked him, “What are you talking about? Do you mean we are going to bow to you?” He seemed to have replied, “I didn’t say so. I just told you what I saw.”

Next time he dreamed yet another dream:

…behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me. Genesis 37:9.



Then his father asked, “Are you saying myself, your mother and your brothers are going to bow for you?”

Joseph’s great dream was the secret of his great destiny.

Beloved, my counsel is, don’t wait to dream in the night. Dream it in the day. Dream as occasion bids you.

Remember this: Joseph’s great dream was the secret of his great destiny.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Ask yourself: “Where do I want to find myself in 10, 20, or 30 years’ time?”

2. Picture the future you want to feature in.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask for the right mentality for destiny fulfilment. Help me to picture the future I want to feature in, Lord in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Where there is no vision, people die before their time. Vision is a preserver of life. Culled from “15 KINGDOM STRATEGIES FOR SURVIVAL” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: 2 Kings 10-12.

AMAZING FACT: When a bee finds a good source of nectar, it flies back to the hive and shows its friends where the nectar source is by doing a dance which positions the flower in relation to the sun and hive. This is known as the ‘waggle dance.’

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Receive the grace to see it ahead in order to get ahead in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR WEDNESDAY 17TH MARCH 2021 – LIVING WITH ETERNITY IN VIEW

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 17th March 2021 Is “Living with Eternity in View”

Live with eternity in view.  Live with the consciousness that you will meet God one day.

Scripture: Luke 10:20.

Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Thought for The Day: Live with eternity in view.  Live with the consciousness that you will meet God one day.


PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 17TH MARCH 2021.

We have been exploring in our earlier studies, the keys to accessing the power to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19).

Today we shall be looking at yet another key, and that is living with eternity in view.

When the disciples of Jesus came back from where Jesus sent them to preach, He told them not to rejoice because the devil bowed before them but to rejoice because their names were written in heaven.

This means, if you want the Power of God to be rooted in your life, you must be conscious of the fact that there is heaven, and there is hell. You know, consciousness imparts cautiousness. The way you live is affected by what you think.

So, live with eternity in view. Live with the consciousness that you will meet God one day. Now, to live carelessly is to end dangerously. Do not give room to the devil in your life. Do not give opportunity to the devil to waste you or deal with you anyhow. So, you must live cautiously.

Now, the story of Daniel in the lions’ den is a very striking example of the power of righteousness over the enemy. Why could the lions not harm Daniel when he was thrown into their den? It was because he was without fault. No wonder he said: “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocence was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.” Daniel 6:22.

Beloved, if you want to disarm the devil, live in righteousness and maintain the consciousness of eternity.

Remember this: Live with eternity in view.  Live with the consciousness that you will meet God one day.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Live with eternity in view always.

2. Maintain the lifestyle of uprightness and shun every form of evil.

PRAYER: I receive the grace to live with eternity in view. Help me to live in righteousness, Lord in Jesus’ Name.


QUOTE: How you live on earth determines where you will end in eternity. Culled from “WHO ARE YOU?” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: 2 Kings 7-9

AMAZING FACT: The queen bee can live up to 5 years and she is the only bee that lays eggs. She is the busiest in the summer months, when the hive needs to be at its maximum strength, and lays up to 2500 eggs per day.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The grace to live with eternity in view is released upon your life now in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR WEDNESDAY 24TH FEBRUARY 2021 – THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIP

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 24th February 2021 Is “The Power of Relationship”

The relationship you keep per time can bring out the best in your life or the worst out of your life.

Scripture:Proverbs 27:17

Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A relationship can make or mar your life and destiny.

PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 24TH FEBRUARY 2021.

Previously, we saw the importance of wisdom. We saw that wisdom is needed for a gainful living, outstanding life, and palatial existence.

Now, one critical area of wisdom I will like to explore with you today is the wisdom for relationship.

Please take note of the following key thoughts on relationship wisdom:

a. A relationship can make or mar your life and destiny (Judges 16:16-19, Daniel 2:49)

The relationship you keep per time can be the making of your life or the marring of your destiny.

b. Relationship can bring the best or the worst out of the life of a person (Prov. 27:17).

The relationship you keep per time can bring out the best in your life or the worst out of your life. For example, a person who has not been smoking, lying or cheating before can start smoking, lying or cheating because of whom he chooses to relate closely with.

On the other hand, a person who doesn’t know how to pray can become prayerful because he gets connected with a prayerful person.

Beloved, my counsel for you today is: choose your association carefully if you must fulfil destiny.

Remember this: A relationship can make or mar your life and destiny.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Relate with people who will bring out the best in you.

2. Disconnect from anyone whose influence can mar your life and destiny.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me relationship wisdom. I receive the grace to relate with the right people and disconnect from the wrong people, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.


QUOTE: It is wisdom to find out what you are looking for in life; what God wants to do with your life; what will take you to your desired destination fast, and direct your energies there. The first of such activities, I believe, is your relationship with God – the time given to prayer and the study of the Word. Culled from “21 FOOLISH THINGS PEOPLE DO” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: 1 Samuel 8-11.

AMAZING FACT: Eagles can fly as high as 15,000 feet.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The LORD free you from every wrong relationship and bring the right people into your life in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR MONDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2021 – THE IMPORTANCE OF WISDOM

 .

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 22nd February 2021 Is “The Importance of Wisdom”

…if you must be in the palace and not in the bush, you need wisdom.

SCRIPTURE: . Ecclesiastes 10:10.

If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: …if you must be in the palace and not in the bush, you need wisdom.

PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 22ND FEBRUARY 2021.

Our anchor Scripture showcases the importance of wisdom to life – wisdom is profitable to direct or order the business of life. It is therefore, important to understand the necessity of wisdom to successful living.

Now, there are three things to note about wisdom from Scriptures:

1. Wisdom is very critical for profitable, gainful, and successful living (Ecclesiastes 10:10).

Wisdom is profitable. To live a life that profits you, to live a life that is gainful, to live a life that is successful, wisdom is needed.

2. Wisdom is very critical for outstanding and distinguished living.

A man’s wisdom makes him outstanding; a man’s wisdom makes his face to shine.

Ecclesiastes 8:1 says, Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

Wisdom is needed to be outstanding in life. Wisdom makes your face to shine in life.

3. Wisdom is very critical for royal or palatial existence (Prov. 8:15).

Wisdom takes you to the palace. Concerning wisdom, Proverbs 8:15says: “By me kings reign, and princes decree justice”.

Beloved, if you must see gain and not losses; if you must stand out and not die under; if you must be in the palace and not in the bush, you need wisdom.

Remember this: …if you must be in the palace and not in the bush, you need wisdom.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Go through today’s message once again.

2. Ask God to baptise you with the Spirit of His wisdom.

PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me the importance of wisdom. I ask that You baptise me afresh with the Spirit of Your Wisdom, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

SEEDS OF DESTINY FOR THURSDAY 18TH FEBRUARY 2021 – CHARACTER SUPERSEDES CHARISMA

 ul-lifting and life-changing content.

SEED OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL

SOD daily devotional by Pastor Paul Eneche

The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 17th February 2021 Is “CHARACTER SUPERSEDES CHARISMA”

Charisma and capacity may take you up but it is character that keeps you up.

Scripture: John 14:30

Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  Charisma and capacity may take you up but it is character that keeps you up.

PASTOR PAUL ENECHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 17TH FEBRUARY 2021.

Previously, we saw that character is key to destiny fulfilment. Character is the bedrock of destiny.

Today, I will like to give you two key thoughts on character:

i. Character sustains destiny

Destiny cannot be in place where character is out of place.  That is why whenever the devil wants to attack your destiny, he first attacks your character. No wonder, the future of a talkative person, gossipmonger, backbiter, murderer, thief or liar is at stake because their character is out of place (Acts 1:16-19). Destiny is indeed sustained by character.

ii. Character is superior to both charisma and capacity

Your charisma implies how vibrant, gifted and attractive you are while your capacity reflects how much you have developed yourself in terms of the skills you have acquired.

Now, charisma and capacity may bring promotion but it is character that sustains the promotion (Prov. 18:16). Charisma and capacity may take you up but it is character that keeps you up.

There are people with first class certificates who have third class character, and so they can’t keep a job. They can’t work with people, and people cannot work with them.

There are intelligent people who are stranded in life due to character bankruptcy. I know a man like that who was stranded in life for many years. Anywhere he is employed, he would begin to drink alcohol and insult people including his boss.

There are people whose tongues have closed their destiny doors. When God tries to open their destiny doors and assist them, one unguarded utterance closes the door.

Beloved, your character will open doors your certificates cannot open. Your character will open doors your connection cannot open for you.

My counsel is: maintain a positive character so you can fulfil destiny.

Remember this: Charisma and capacity may take you up but it is character that keeps you up.

ASSIGNMENTS:

1. Pay attention to your character; your destiny is in it.

2. Receive grace to guard against negative character.

PRAYER: O Lord, deliver me from any lifestyle that will affect my destiny negatively. Help me to maintain quality character, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

AMAZING FACT: A lion can hear the sound of a prey up to a mile away.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: Help to be all Jehovah wants you to be is released on you in Jesus’ Name.
