Dr Paul Enenche - Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Forgiveness; A Proof Of Love

Dunamis Seeds of Destiny Devotional – 2nd February 2025

Topic: Forgiveness – A Proof of Love

Scripture: "But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ." – Ephesians 4:15

Thought for the Day: True love cannot exist without forgiveness.

Message: The Bible teaches that love is a spiritual virtue, a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and like any fruit or plant, love has the capacity to grow (Jeremiah 12:2). As believers, we are called to mature in grace and grow in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).

Love comes in various degrees, dimensions, and expressions. A prime example of this is seen in the story of Joseph, who forgave his brothers despite their wrongdoings, even to the point of attempting to kill him. When they came to Egypt during a famine, Joseph not only forgave them but honored them with a feast and the best land in Egypt. This act of forgiveness demonstrated the maturity of love at work in Joseph’s life. One of the clearest indicators of genuine love is forgiveness. As Scripture says, "Love covers a multitude of sins" (1 Peter 4:8). True love grows to the point where it releases others from their wrongs, just as Joseph did for his brothers. Make a conscious decision to love genuinely and practice forgiveness.

Remember: You cannot claim to truly love if you are unwilling to forgive.

Assignment:

- Make a firm decision to love authentically and grow in love.

- Practice the act of forgiveness in your daily life.

Prayer:

Father, I receive the grace to love genuinely and sincerely. Let Your love in my heart impact the lives of others positively, in Jesus’ Name.
