Seeds of Destiny for Today 21 August 2024 Message
It has been confirmed that Love is of God, and God is Love (1 John 4:8). Love is a powerful force on earth because God is powerful. This means, when you walk in love, you walk in the power of God.
Now, one character of love is that Love is not easily provoked.
And when we say love is not easily provoked, what do we mean?
We mean:
i. Love is not irritable or touchy.
There are people who are highly irritable or very touchy. These are the kinds of people that everyone avoids. If you tell them, “Good morning,” it is a problem. And if you don’t say, “Good morning,” it is also a challenge.
They are easily provoked, but love is not easily provoked.
ii. Love is not offended.
There are people who are permanently offence-ready. They are offences personified, looking for where to happen. But love is not easily offended. There are people in church who, when the ushers ask them to sit in a particular place, they tell the ushers, “Who are you to tell me where to seat?” They are offence-ready, but love is not easily offended.’
iii. Love is not quarrelsome or quarrel-ready.
There are also people who are quarrel personified or quarrel in motion. When you see them walking, you can call them “mobile quarrel.”
Such people quarrel with everyone; they quarrel with their parents, siblings, friends, colleagues, bosses, etc.
You see, it is better to be at peace than to be under pressure; you will never realise the treasures of life if you maintain a life under pressure.
I made up mind as I was getting married that there must be peace in my life, and peace in my home. I made up my mind that nobody will ever ask me in marriage, “Who offended who?” And God has helped us for more than thirty years of marriage.
My counsel is, make up your mind to love. Let the love of God in your heart neutralize every spirit of anger and provocation.
Remember this: It is better to be at peace than to be under pressure; you will never realise the treasures of life if you maintain a life under pressure.

Heavenly Father,
I come to You in humility and repentance, acknowledging my sins and my need for Your grace. Lord Jesus, I believe You are the Son of God, who died for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I confess You as my Savior and Lord.
Forgive me, cleanse me with Your precious blood, and fill me with Your Holy Spirit. I turn away from my sinful ways and open my heart to You. Take control of my life and guide me in Your truth.
