SEEDS OF DESTINY 21ST MAY 2025 WEDNESDAY DEVOTIONAL, SOD MESSAGE WRITTEN BY DR. PAUL ENENCHE
Seeds of Destiny 21st May 2025 (Wednesday) SOD Devotional Message
TOPIC: Bitterness – A Troubler
SCRIPTURE: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; HEBREWS 12:15.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The seed or root of bitterness will always produce the fruit of trouble.
Some years ago, my wife and I visited a woman who was dying of a terminal disease, cancer to be precise. While we were in the process of praying for her, the Holy Spirit impressed in our hearts to ask her to forgive her husband. And we told her, “You need to forgive your husband. Any challenge?” She said, “Oh! I can’t forgive the man.” “What happened?” We asked. She said she and her husband built their home, a duplex and acquired many properties together, only for the man to kick her out and brought in another lady to inherit her sweat.
So, the man kicked her out and brought in another lady to enjoy her labour and sweat. The woman got so bitter that she found it difficult to forgive the man. Painfully, she did not recover.
Beloved, if the devil wants to trap you, he organizes offences and bitterness for you. Bitterness troubles the system.
The seed or root of bitterness will produce the fruit of trouble – systemic trouble. There are destructive hormones, corticotrophin-releasing hormones that come into activity when the system is filled with negative emotions- the feelings of bitterness, anger, depression, etc. These are devastating hormones.
Beloved, bitterness is a troubler; it is a destroyer. So, refuse to be trapped into bitterness no matter the level of offence.
Remember this: The seed or root of bitterness will produce the fruit of trouble.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Determine not to harbour bitterness in your heart no matter the gravity of the offence.
2. Make demands on the Holy Spirit to scan your heart to reveal any trace of bitterness in your heart.
3. Ask for the grace to forgive despite the hurt.
