Daily Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche.
TOPIC: GIVE IT ALL IT TAKES
SCRIPTURE: Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. PROVERBS 22:29.
THOUGHTFOR THE DAY: Once you know what to do, get to work, give it all you have got; give it all it takes.
It has been established that part of knowing what you want is knowing what to do to get it. If you don’t know what to do to get it, you don’t know what you want. Until you know what to do to get what you want, you don’t know what you want.
And once you know what to do, get to work, give it all you have got. Give it all it takes.
I studied medicine. I am a medical doctor by training. Medical practice is one of the most demanding things anyone can do with his life. The military is another.
Nevertheless, in my work as a pastor, I have had to task myself far more. I can’t possibly express how tight my schedule is, every single day, every week. There are times I have had to preach almost every day of the week at different locations and in different programmes. Yet, I can’t just climb the pulpit carelessly or try to look for some previous notes to preach the next message.
I would have to sit down and prepare like I want to write a difficult examination. There were times I have had to peruse over 200 Scripture passages to arrive at a 30 minute-message.
Besides a tight ministration schedule, the Seeds of Destiny – our daily devotional guide – is being written; worship songs are being received, written and recorded; books are being written; the church is being administered globally; Pastors conference taking place, amongst others.
Now, someone could look at us and say, “Oh that man is really lucky! Look at how everything is just going fine for him. See what a big church he is pastoring. God is a bit partial, you know; imagine how He favours some people more than others…”
Wow! Let such a person try that ‘luck’ for just one week and see how enjoyable it is.
You don’t know what you want until you have known what to do to get it.
I declare that the grace to give it all it takes to arrive at where you are going is released upon you in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Remember this: Once you know what to do, get to work, give it all you have got; give it all it takes.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Find out the price to pay to get to where you are supposed to be.
- Hold nothing back; give it all it takes to fulfil destiny.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive a fresh grace and discipline for diligence in labour. Help me to pay the price to fulfill my destiny, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: A second thing to know about laziness is that it limits potentials. Diligence and hard work release potentials. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Revelations 14-16
AMAZING FACT: The world’s largest passenger plane is the Airbus A380. It is a double-decker four-engine jetliner. It made its first flight on April 27, 2005.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: The LORD grant you the energy to fulfil all demands of demands in Jesus’ Name.
