Seed Of Destiny Devotionals, By Dr Pastor Paul Enenche 30TH DEC 2015

TOPIC: The Proof Of Love.

SCRIPTURE: Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. – 1 Corinthians 13:4 (AMP)

 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Until we release the past, we cannot receive the future.

 

In 1 John 4:8, the Bible makes it clear that God is love. Therefore, to walk with God, you must work in love (Amos 3:3). Nobody can walk with God with hatred in their hearts towards their neighbour. This is because God is love.

 

Love cannot be without proofs. What then are the proofs of love?

 

1. Love is kind and generous; love gives.

Love is a giver of resources, time and attention. 

A lover is a value creator and an enhancer. 

When love is at work, kindness and generosity become natural. As a worker who serves God in church, someone should be able to encounter you and go home smiling with a lasting positive impression.

 

2. Love is courteous and not rude.

Love exudes courtesy and politeness regardless of your status. For instance, if you are a billionaire and you greet someone politely, will that reduce your financial worth? Until we learn courtesy, we lack future. Love treats other people with value and respect. Do not look down on people or underrate them.

 

3. Love is not irritable, touchy, quarrelsome or offense-ready.

There are people who are like bombs waiting to be detonated. Love is not like that. Love is not picky. People lose jobs and placement because of their irritable disposition.

 

4. Love forgives

Love easily releases offences; it does not keep malice or grudge. Love does not remember yesterday’s offenses and forfeit tomorrow’s progress. And until we release the past, we cannot receive the future.

 

I prophesy upon you the grace to release all offences today in Jesus’ Name.

 

Remember this: Until we release the past, we cannot receive the future.

 

ASSIGNMENT(S):

1. Ask God to saturate your heart with love.

2. Make a daily practice of showing love to someone.

3. Refuse to allow grudges settle in your heart.

 

PRAYER: O LORD, I ask for the saturation of my heart with love for You. Help me LORD to make practical demonstration of love a daily habit in Jesus’ Name.

 

FOR FURTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: MINISTERING IN LOVE.
