Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 11 June 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Living Is Seeding
TOPIC: Living Is Seeding (Seeds Of Destiny 11 June 2024)
SCRIPTURE: For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul. Mark 8:36
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:Â Life is a seed, and living is seeding. The seed you plant in life today will yield the corresponding harvest in future.
MESSAGE:
A young man once wanted to marry a young lady many years ago. But while he was yet to pay her bride price, she began to camp with him. Both of them started living together.
So, the lady’s mother called the young man and said, “Please if you want to marry my daughter, marry her the proper way by doing the right thing. Why are you putting shame on me?
Why did you take my daughter away without paying her dowry?”
But the young man was adamant and thought he could do whatever he wanted to do.
The woman became heart-broken and said to the young man and her daughter, “This pain you people are giving me, you will have it multiplied.” The shame that they brought to her so pained her that it led to a heart condition, which eventually led to her death. However, her daughter and this young man never cared to know, so they continued in their lifestyle of cohabitation and immorality.
Three years down the line, every child that they tried to conceive ended in miscarriage. They lost up to five pregnancies in miscarriage.
At the end of the day, the young man said to the lady, “What use is this relationship to me anyway? Your mother is not happy with us, and nothing good is coming out of this marriage. I am not ready to continue with you anymore. Pack your things and get out of my house.”
With so much pain and regret, the lady was driven from the man’s house. She returned to her father’s house to apologise to her mother, only to find out that she had died.
She went to apologise to her father, but he told her, “You caused me so much pain and shame; I have nothing to do with you.”
That was how this lady lost everything she ever had because of sowing the wrong seed with her life. Her immoral lifestyle was a wrong seed that provoked a curse. Thus her sinful relationship produced nothing profitable but sorrow, pain, shame and regrets.
Beloved, you see, life is a seed, and living is seeding. The seed you plant in life today will yield the corresponding harvest in future.
The question is, what seed are you planting with your life today? When you engage in a lifestyle of sin, you are planting a negative seed for your life, and that will put your future in jeopardy. The end result usually is pain, shame, sorrow and regret, like the case of the lady in question. But that shall not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Life is a seed, and living is seeding. The seed you plant in life today will yield the corresponding harvest in future.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Always remember that you are sowing seeds everyday of your life by the way you live.
- Make up your mind to plant good seeds in life today so you can reap good harvest tomorrow.
PRAYER: Lord, deliver me from any kind of lifestyle that will bring dishonour to Your Name and destruction to my life. Help me to plant good seeds in life so I can reap good harvest in time and in eternity, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
