Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 24 September 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: The Heart Of Love
TOPIC: The Heart Of Love (Seeds Of Destiny 24 September 2024)
SCRIPTURE: If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? – 1 John 4:20
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The true test of love for God is consideration for the feelings of others.
MESSAGE:
In our previous study, we saw that the heart of love is a pillar of character. Your character is released when you release love, both for God and for people.
Now, the question is, what does the heart of love imply?
The heart of love implies having a heart for others. It is considering the feelings and welfare of others in your actions. To have a heart for others means to consider the feelings and welfare of others in all that you do.
It is coming to a point where you ask yourself: “How does what I do affect other people?”
You see, if you consider the feelings of other people, you wouldn’t steal their money, violate their rights, or do something to attack their joy.
In our world today, there are people who are sadists. They take pleasure in the sadness of others. There are men who are not happy until their wives begin to cry.
Their ego goes up when they see their wives in pain. They insult their wives; they talk to them anyhow even when the wives did not do anything wrong. Such men are not real men. A real man is a protector, a cover, and does not fight his wife, but fights on the behalf of his wife.
So, to have the heart of love means to have a heart for others. It is considering the feelings and welfare of others in our actions.
The question I would like to ask you is: what is the disposition of your heart towards others or the people in your life? Do you profess to love God, but behave differently towards your neighbour? The true test of love for God is consideration for the feelings of others. The proof that you love God is when you love your neighbours.
Remember this: The true test of love for God is consideration for the feelings of others.
ASSIGNMENT:
- Go through today’s message again prayerful.
- Always consider the feeling of others in your actions.
PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to consider the feelings of others in my daily actions. I receive baptism of the Spirit of love to love people genuinely, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
