Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
It has been established that the heart of love is a major pillar of character.
Mark 12:29-31 says,
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Romans 13:10 reveals that love works no ill. This means, if you love your neighbour, you wouldn’t want to hurt them. If you love your neighbour, you wouldn’t steal their phone. If you love your neighbour, you wouldn’t tamper with their wife.
Love is the fulfilment of the law (Romans 13:10).
If you understand love, you have understood the law. Anyone who is perfected in love is perfected in the law.
The easiest way to fulfil the law or the Word of God is to release love. This implies that lovelessness equals lawlessness; lovelessness equals wickedness. Where love is absent, the law can’t be fulfilled.
As a husband, one reason why you must treat your wife well is that someone else must treat your own daughters well. If you are trusting God to give your daughters good husbands, then you must be a good man yourself. If you cannot pray that God should give your daughters a man like yourself, then you are deficient in character.
Also, as a mother, if you cannot boldly pray that God should give your son the kind of wife like yourself, it means you are deficient in character.
And character is built by love. Love makes you sufficient in character. Love helps you to build quality and positive character. Love is the summation of quality character. You cannot be a person of quality character if love is absent from your life.
Remember this: Love is the summation of quality character; you cannot be a person of quality character if love is absent from your life.
ASSIGNMENT:
- By all means, refuse to be a victim of hate, malice, anger and resentment.
- Ask God for His love to be shed abroad in Your heart.
PRAYER: Father, I ask that You manifest Your Nature of love in me. Help me to love You and the people around me, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: We need brutal focus, rugged commitment and the tenacity of a bulldog to maintain focus. We need to move, not looking left or right, but straight ahead. We need to tell the world that we know where we are going and when we get there they will hear of us, but for now we are still on our way. Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Hosea 10-12
AMAZING FACT: Honey never spoils.

Every trace of lovelessness in your heart be crushed by the Spirit of God, in Jesus’ Name.
