DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL 4 MAY 2024 SOD MESSAGE WRITTEN BY DR. PAUL ENENCHE
Dunamis Seeds of Destiny Daily Devotional 4 May 2024, SOD Reading for Saturday
TOPIC: Love Sinners Unto Salvation
SCRIPTURE: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love. Galatians 5:6
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: When love is in place, there is no price that is too big to pay in saving a sinner.
Many years ago, a young man told me a heart-touching story of his life. He was an armed robber; he engaged in all kinds of atrocities. Beside this, he was into the consumption of all manner of hard drugs, including Indian hemp and the likes.
Every time he returned home from robbery, his mother would tell him, “My son, you are wasting your time in robbery. You are a pastor; you are not an armed robber. You are a man of God, not a thief.”
The young man would reply his mother, “What are you talking about?” and dash out of the house for his usual robbery activities.
One day, he went to a place in the Northern part of Nigeria alongside his gang to rob. It happened that this particular robbery operation was not successful. The law enforcement agency killed all his fellow robbers. He was the only one who escaped. He said that he didn’t know how he jumped over a huge fence and landed on the other side. This was because it was a very high and “un-jumpable” fence. That was how God delivered him from death on earth and eternal damnation in hellfire. He later became a pastor according to the prophecy of his mother.
You see, the faith of his mother worked by love. Even though he was living as a robber, his mother continued to release love towards him. Many times, his mother’s statement implied something like, “Any other child may decide to be a robber and die as a robber, but not the one I gave birth to.”
What a lesson! His mother loved him and that love provoked faith in her to keep praying for him until he became a pastor. Love in the heart would provoke and sustain faith for the salvation of sinners.
Beloved, I counsel you to release love towards sinners; let your love for sinners provoke faith in you to pray for their salvation. When love is in place, there is no sinner that is too bad to be saved. When love is in place, there is no price that is too big to pay in saving a sinner.
Remember this: When love is in place, there is no price that is too big to pay in saving a sinner.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Like Jesus Christ, release love and compassion towards the salvation of sinners despite their sins.
- Let love propel you to always pray and reach out to the unsaved.
PRAYER: Lord, I receive the baptism of a deep compassion for sinners. I receive the grace to pray and reach out to them in love and compassion, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: One of the worst things that can happen to a person is to be gripped by bitterness. Bitterness is the source of countless spiritual and physical problems in millions of lives today. Culled from the book, “Am I Bitter?” by Dr Becky Paul-Enenche.
DAILY READING: Job 28-30.
AMAZING FACT: The brain’s storage capacity is unlimited as the brain consists of 86 billion neurons and these neurons form connections to others, rounding up to a total of 1,000 trillion.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): I decree the flow of love in a new dimension in your heart today, in Jesus Name.
