Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 23 April 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Offences Must Come

TOPIC: Offences Must Come (Seeds Of Destiny 23 April 2024)

SCRIPTURE: Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Matthew 18:7.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: As far as the matter of offence is concerned, the only person who will never be offended is one who is already in the grave.

Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2024 MESSAGE:

One major weapon of satan against the children of God in this end time is the weapon of offence. satan sponsors offences to scatter lives and families.

Let me give you one example. A husband and wife may live together and may not talk to one another because of offence. And if they would talk at all, it may be a short-wave communication.

In the morning, the wife greets the husband, “Good morning”.
With a frown, the husband responds, “Good morning”.
The wife asks, “What do I cook for you today?”
Reluctantly, the husband says, “Anything”.
Two siblings may not talk to each other at home, but when they come to church, they sing and clap hands as though all is well between them.

Matthew 18:7 says:
Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Please take note of this
… for it must needs be that offences come; …

This is the truth: Offences must surely come. As far as the matter of offence is concerned, the only person who will never be offended is the one who is already in the grave. The people you love will offend you. The people that hate you will offend you. The people that you have helped will hurt you. The people that you have assisted will resist you. Everywhere you go, offences are staring you in the face.

You would understand that the very people that Jesus came to die for were the ones that crucified Him. He came to save them from destruction but they spat on Him, flogged, and then crucified Him. He laboured for three years to raise Judas Iscariot but the same Judas betrayed Him.

Beloved, this is what to do: despite the unavoidability of offence, make up your mind never to be the victim of offence. Make the choice never to act according to people’s offences.

REMEMBER THIS: As far as the matter of offence is concerned, the only person who will never be offended is the one who is already in the grave.

ASSIGNMENTS:

  1. Equip yourself with the mentality that offences must surely come.
  2. Refuse to harbour bitterness despite obvious attempts to throw offences at you.

PRAYER: Lord, I receive the grace never to harbour bitterness despite enemy’s desperate attempts at provocation. I ask that You deliver me from the temptation of destructive reactions to offences, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: The force of vision, the force of passion, the power of love that backs up a man, the aggression, and the ability to run with vigour and with energy are killed in a person that is full of bitterness. Culled from the book, “AM I BITTER?” by Dr Paul Enenche.

DAILY READING: Esther 5-7.

AMAZING FACT: One windshield or window frame of a Boeing 747-400’s cockpit costs as much as a BMW.

PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Receive victory over every spell or plague of bitterness in Jesus’ Name.
