SEED OF DESTINY WRITTEN BY THE SENIOR PASTOR OF DUNAMIS INTERNATIONAL GOSPEL CENTRE, DR PAUL ENENCHE.

TOPIC: THE HINDRANCE TO WALKING IN LOVE.

SCRIPTURE: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
John 3 verse 16. Hallelujah!

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Satan would want to hinder you from walking in love by orchestrating challenges around your life.

The Scripture reveals that love is a Nature of God (John 3 verse 16). This implies that as children of God, we are designed to manifest the Love Nature of God our Father. We were created to walk in love.

However, it is worthy of note that there are hindrances to walking in love. One of such hindrances is personal challenges and confrontations of life.

It is difficult to walk in love when your life is challenged and confronted.

What is obvious many times is that when someone is challenged, they may decide to face only themselves squarely and leave others. When someone is facing challenging or difficult situations in life, they may begin to think, “What do I have to offer anyone? I am only struggling to survive; I don’t think I have anything to offer.”

In the year 1986, I had an appointment to pray for a close relation of mine who was suffering from a terrible demonic affliction at the time. The night before I could go and pray for her, I had an oppressive dream.

When I woke up in the morning and started getting ready to go and pray for her, the devil was suggesting things like, “You need prayer yourself. Who do you want to pray for? You need prayer yourself; you must be delivered first before you can deliver another person.”

Then I said to that devil, “I will show you what I'm about to do.”

So, I went and prayed for the young lady, ejected all the demons out of her, and she was totally delivered and freed from the clutches of the devil.

The point I am trying to make is, Satan would want to hinder you from walking in love by orchestrating challenges around your life. But you must refuse to give up on your duty of love to the people of your life.

You must always remember that even when you are confronted with challenges, you have something to offer. Therefore, refuse to be discouraged; continue to release love despite the challenges of life. And in helping others, your help gets released from the LORD because life is a seed.

Remember this: Satan would want to hinder you from walking in love by orchestrating challenges around your life.

Take this ASSIGNMENT with you:
#1. Refuse to allow challenging situations of life to hinder your walk of love.

#2. Make up your mind to manifest love and continue to offer solutions to people’s problems even if you are challenged. Yes sir!

Our PRAYER today: Father, I receive the grace to manifest genuine love to people despite the challenges of life. Help me to be a solution provider, Lord, in Jesus Name. Amen!

Today's DAILY READING: from the book of Ezekiel chapter 25 to 27.

Ezekiel chapter 25, The word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites, and prophesy against them. Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord God! Thus says the Lord God: “Because you said, ‘Aha!’ against My sanctuary when it was profaned, and against the land of Israel when it was desolate, and against the house of Judah when they went into captivity, indeed, therefore, I will deliver you as a possession to the men of the East, and they shall set their encampments among you and make their dwellings among you; they shall eat your fruit, and they shall drink your milk. And I will make Rabbah a stable for camels and Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ‘For thus says the Lord God: “Because you clapped your hands, stamped your feet, and rejoiced in heart with all your disdain for the land of Israel, indeed, therefore, I will stretch out My hand against you, and give you as plunder to the nations; I will cut you off from the peoples, and I will cause you to perish from the countries; I will destroy you, and you shall know that I am the Lord.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because Moab and Seir say, ‘Look! The house of Judah is like all the nations,’ therefore, behold, I will clear the territory of Moab of cities, of the cities on its frontier, the glory of the country, Beth Jeshimoth, Baal Meon, and Kirjathaim. To the men of the East I will give it as a possession, together with the Ammonites, that the Ammonites may not be remembered among the nations. And I will execute judgments upon Moab, and they shall know that I am the Lord.” ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because of what Edom did against the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging itself on them,” therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will also stretch out My hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from Teman; Dedan shall fall by the sword. I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance,” says the Lord God. ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Because the Philistines dealt vengefully and took vengeance with a spiteful heart, to destroy because of the old hatred,” therefore thus says the Lord God: “I will stretch out My hand against the Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethites and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. I will execute great vengeance on them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I lay My vengeance upon them.” hallelujah!

Ezekiel chapter 26, And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken who was the gateway of the peoples; now she is turned over to me; I shall be filled; she is laid waste.’ “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I am against you, O Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up. And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre and break down her towers; I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. It shall be a place for spreading nets in the midst of the sea, for I have spoken,’ says the Lord God; ‘it shall become plunder for the nations. Also her daughter villages which are in the fields shall be slain by the sword. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.’ “For thus says the Lord God: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses, with chariots, and with horsemen, and an army with many people. He will slay with the sword your daughter villages in the fields; he will heap up a siege mound against you, build a wall against you, and raise a defense against you. He will direct his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers. Because of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, the wagons, and the chariots, when he enters your gates, as men enter a city that has been breached. With the hooves of his horses he will trample all your streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground. They will plunder your riches and pillage your merchandise; they will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses; they will lay your stones, your timber, and your soil in the midst of the water. I will put an end to the sound of your songs, and the sound of your harps shall be heard no more. I will make you like the top of a rock; you shall be a place for spreading nets, and you shall never be rebuilt, for I the Lord have spoken,’ says the Lord God. “Thus says the Lord God to Tyre: ‘Will the coastlands not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded cry, when slaughter is made in the midst of you? Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, lay aside their robes, and take off their embroidered garments; they will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit on the ground, tremble every moment, and be astonished at you. And they will take up a lamentation for you, and say to you:“How you have perished,O one inhabited by seafaring men,O renowned city,Who was strong at sea,She and her inhabitants,Who caused their terror to be on all her inhabitants! Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall;Yes, the coastlands by the sea are troubled at your departure.” ’ “For thus says the Lord God: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like cities that are not inhabited, when I bring the deep upon you, and great waters cover you, then I will bring you down with those who descend into the Pit, to the people of old, and I will make you dwell in the lowest part of the earth, in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go down to the Pit, so that you may never be inhabited; and I shall establish glory in the land of the living. I will make you a terror, and you shall be no more; though you are sought for, you will never be found again,’ says the Lord God.” hallelujah!

Ezekiel chapter 27, “Now, son of man, take up a lamentation for Tyre, The word of the Lord came again to me, saying, and say to Tyre, ‘You who are situated at the entrance of the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:“O Tyre, you have said,‘I am perfect in beauty.’ Your borders are in the midst of the seas.Your builders have perfected your beauty. They made all your planks of fir trees from Senir; They took a cedar from Lebanon to make you a mast. Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars;The company of Ashurites have inlaid your planks With ivory from the coasts of Cyprus. Fine embroidered linen from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;Blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah was what covered you. “Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen;Your wise men, O Tyre, were in you;They became your pilots. Elders of Gebal and its wise men Were in you to caulk your seams;All the ships of the sea And their oarsmen were in you To market your merchandise. “Those from Persia, Lydia, and Libya Were in your army as men of war;They hung shield and helmet in you;They gave splendor to you. Men of Arvad with your army were on your walls all around,And the men of Gammad were in your towers;They hung their shields on your walls all around;They made your beauty perfect. “Tarshish was your merchant because of your many luxury goods. They gave you silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods. Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders. They bartered human lives and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. Those from the house of Togarmah traded for your wares with horses, steeds, and mules. The men of Dedan were your traders; many isles were the market of your hand. They brought you ivory tusks and ebony as payment. Syria was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made. They gave you for your wares emeralds, purple, embroidery, fine linen, corals, and rubies. Judah and the land of Israel were your traders. They traded for your merchandise wheat of Minnith, millet, honey, oil, and balm. Damascus was your merchant because of the abundance of goods you made, because of your many luxury items, with the wine of Helbon and with white wool. Dan and Javan paid for your wares, traversing back and forth. Wrought iron, cassia, and cane were among your merchandise. Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding. Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your regular merchants. They traded with you in lambs, rams, and goats. The merchants of Sheba and Raamah were your merchants. They traded for your wares the choicest spices, all kinds of precious stones, and gold. Haran, Canneh, Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, and Chil mad were your merchants. These were your merchants in choice items, in purple clothes, in embroidered garments, in chests of multicolored apparel, in sturdy woven cords, which were in your marketplace. “The ships of Tarshish were carriers of your merchandise. You were filled and very glorious in the midst of the seas. Your oarsmen brought you into many waters,But the east wind broke you in the midst of the seas. “Your riches, wares, and merchandise,Your mariners and pilots,Your caulkers and merchandisers,All your men of war who are in you,And the entire company which is in your midst,Will fall into the midst of the seas on the day of your ruin. The common-land will shake at the sound of the cry of your pilots. “All who handle the oar,The mariners,All the pilots of the sea Will come down from their ships and stand on the shore. They will make their voice heard because of you;They will cry bitterly and cast dust on their heads;They will roll about in ashes; They will shave themselves completely bald because of you,Gird themselves with sackcloth,And weep for you With bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. In their wailing for you They will take up a lamentation,And lament for you:‘What city is like Tyre,Destroyed in the midst of the sea? ‘When your wares went out by sea,You satisfied many people;You enriched the kings of the earth With your many luxury goods and your merchandise. But you are broken by the seas in the depths of the waters;Your merchandise and the entire company will fall in your midst. All the inhabitants of the isles will be astonished at you;Their kings will be greatly afraid,And their countenance will be troubled. The merchants among the peoples will hiss at you;You will become a horror, and be no more forever.’ hallelujah!
