Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been confirmed that fear is one deadly enemy of life and destiny. The devil has crippled many lives through the spirit of fear. This is because fear hinders a person from taking giant steps in life.
Our anchor Scripture reveals that God has not given us the spirit of fear. This means, we must deal with every form of fear in our lives.
Now, one way to deal with the spirit of fear is to guard your heart consciously and continuously against negative news reports or stories.

Although there are stories that flow into your ears that you may not be able to avoid, consciously make up your mind not to look for negative stories or reports. Do not dwell on the negative.
Sometime ago, I went to one city in the South-Western part of Nigeria for a programme. The protocol officer who was assigned to pick me from the airport had no other story to tell me other than how terrible armed robbers in the town were. That was the only story he could tell a stranger who just arrived in the town for the first time.
He said, “Sir, in this city, armed robbers operate terribly. The way they operate breaks the heart. Their operation is as if they are not human beings. They are so terrible.”
I was just listening to this man. And then, he went and dropped me in the hotel that had no light and left.
The truth is, no matter how great your faith is, as a man of God, there are things you must not allow yourself to hear. Maybe, I would have shut him up on the spot.
When this protocol officer left me in the hotel, I had to use my faith to deal with witches, wizards, armed robbers and wicked people throughout the night.
My counsel is: guard your heart against negative news or reports so you can establish and protect your faith.
REMEMBER THIS: One way to deal with the spirit of fear is to guard your heart consciously and continuously against negative news reports or stories.
ASSIGNMENTS:
-Refuse to give attention to or look for negative news reports or stories.
-Always renew your mind and believe only the report of God for your life.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace to meditate on and believe in Your Word as the only authentic report of life. Deliver me from giving my ears to negative news, reports or stories, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
