TOPIC: YOUR MENTALITY AND YOUR DESTINY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE

SCRIPTURE: Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice; Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it. NUMBERS 14:22-24.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You cannot access your inheritance in Canaan with the “Egyptish” mentality; you cannot access your destiny with the mentality or lifestyle of the world.

The children of Israel lived in cruel bondage in Egypt for 430 years. They got established in their bondage.

Eventually, God brought them out of Egypt to take them to Canaan, their Promised Land, but many of them were still looking back to Egypt in their minds. While on their way to the Promised Land, they lusted after the foods of Egypt that they left behind. Obviously, they had left Egypt, but Egypt was still in their minds.

And because they kept on looking back to Egypt in their minds, lusting after the foods of Egypt, murmuring, rebelling and doubting God, God told Moses, “These people have refused to be delivered from the bondage of Egypt in their minds. They have refused for Egypt to come out of them. As a result, none of them will enter the Promised Land. I will make them roam about in this wilderness until all of them perish. Only their sons will enter the Promised Land; and Caleb and Joshua because they have another spirit.” (Numbers 14:22-24; paraphrased)

All the souls that left Egypt perished in the wilderness except Joshua and Caleb. The Children of all the people that left Egypt were the only ones that entered the Promised Land. These ones were not born in Egypt but in the wilderness. They did not experience the lifestyle of Egypt.

What a lesson! You cannot carry the “Egyptish” mentality and lifestyle into Canaan. You cannot access your inheritance in Canaan with the “Egyptish” mentality. You cannot access your destiny with the mentality or lifestyle of the world. You cannot possess your inheritance in God with the mentality and lifestyle of the world. You cannot go to heaven with the mentality and lifestyle of the world.

Beloved, your mentality affects your life and destiny, both in time and eternity. Your mentality affects your inheritance and possession. Therefore, by all means, make up your mind to maintain the right mentality.

REMEMBER THIS: You cannot access your inheritance in Canaan with the “Egyptish” mentality.

1. Determine to leave behind every mentality of bondage in order to access your inheritance in God and fulfil your destiny.

2. Do not copy the way of the people of the world. Live according to the Word of God in order to impact your world.

PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from anything that would hinder me from possessing my inheritance in You. Deliver me from every form of Egyptish mentality and lifestyle, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: Today, a lady can walk out on the street, meet a man and say, “I like you,” and the next thing is the pathway of sin. In those days, it was an abomination for a woman to approach a man. Men were the ones that went after ladies. Immorality is now called fun.―When people commit immorality, they say they are having fun. Culled from the book, “Who Are You?” by Dr Paul Enenche.

AMAZING FACT: If a chameleon was blind, it can still change its colours to match its surroundings. The chameleon’s ability to match its environment does not rely on sight, but rather on the cells in its body called chromatophores. Its skin can easily change to blend into its surroundings.

Receive the grace to function with the right mentality in Jesus’ Name.
