Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 7 April 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Your Love And Your Character
TOPIC: Your Love And Your Character (Seeds Of Destiny 7 April 2024)
SCRIPTURE: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. ROMANS 13:8.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Your love flows into your character. Your character is in place when your love is intact.
MESSAGE:
It has been established that there is a relationship between love and character. Love affects character. Your love flows into your character. Your character is in place when your love is intact.
On the other hand, lovelessness works hand in hand with characterlessness. A loveless person is also a characterless person.
Lovelessness is an epidemic that has eaten deep into the lives of people in our society today. This lovelessness is seen in every area of society.
For example, in our higher institutions today, a brilliant student who is not meant to repeat a class is made to do so for a whole year because he or she refused to bribe the lecturer or buy the handouts.
If the student is a young man, he must compulsorily buy the handout or bribe his way to getting good grades from the lecturer. And if the student is a young lady, she is made to give her body to the lecturer.
And when a student refuses to give either money or her body to the lecturer, he or she is made to repeat the class thereby wasting their time and resources. This is lovelessness! This is wickedness! This is the reason why the matter of love must be addressed for godly character to manifest in society.
Sometime ago, a young lady talked to me. She said, “Sir, men are wicked.”
Then I asked her what happened. She said that she was stranded and looking for financial assistance. Every man she approached for money also asked her for her body in exchange for the money.
Then, she said to me, “I cannot get anything without someone asking for my body. Men are wicked.”
This is the loveless and characterless world we live in.
My counsel is, ask God to plant genuine love in your heart so you can live right on earth.
REMEMBER THIS: Your love flows into your character. Your character is in place when your love is intact.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Adjust your character by adjusting your love life.
- Let people see the practical love of God through your life by your quality and positive lifestyle.
- Refuse to take advantage of anyone because they are vulnerable or in need.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for showing me the way of character. I receive the grace to work on my love life so I can display positive character, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
