DUNAMIS SEEDS OF DESTINY A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BY DR PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE
WEDNESDAY, 9TH OCTOBER, 2024
TOPIC: ARE YOU A DONOR OR A RECEIVER?
SCRIPTURE: I have shown you in every way that it is by working in this way that we must support the weak, and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, who said: It is more blessed to give than to receive. ACTS 20:35
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: He who practices love has a greater advantage than he who benefits from it.
Our anchor scripture makes it clear that the gain from loving and giving is more for the giver than for the receiver. There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.
The blessing of giving outweighs the blessing of receiving. Each giving process is more beneficial to the giver than to the receiver. Even if the receiver is excited, the giver has more rewards.
One may be excited to receive a new pair of shoes, a car, a suit, money, a house, etc., but the giver of these gifts has more and greater rewards than the receiver.
Sometimes you may be discouraged from showing love because of negative human actions. You may be discouraged from showing love because of ungrateful people. But you must always remember that the givers of love have more gains than the receivers of love. The practitioner of love has a higher benefit than the recipient of love.
Beloved, this is the winning mindset. All the things you do in life are controlled by your mentality. Your mindset dictates your behavior, and therefore cultivating a healthy mindset is essential to living a productive life.
A healthy mindset to maintain is that your increase is tied to your giving; your resources are linked to your releases.
However, when you practice the acts of giving, you encounter people who always want to frustrate you. You help them, but they hurt you, and so you are tempted to stop giving to both God and man. But God reminds you to have a mindset that helps you keep going, and that mindset is that the gains from loving and giving are far more for the giver than the receiver.
When you know this, there is no devil in human form that can stop you from releasing love for both God and people.
Remember this: the doer of love has a higher benefit than the recipient of love.
ASSIGNMENT :
1. Refuse to be discouraged from loving and giving for both God and people.
2. Adopt the attitude of giving; be a practitioner of love.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask you to place me on a higher pedestal of life, the pedestal of giving and releasing love. I receive grace to do this regularly, not occasionally, Lord, in the name of Jesus.

QUOTE: You can never reap until you sow. To be a sower is to be a reaper. Excerpt from the book “21 unusual keys to financial overflow” by Dr. Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Matthew 9-11
AMAZING FACT: Humans develop fingertips from the time they were embryos, just three months after conception. This means that just after the first trimester, the baby has fully developed fingertips.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): Let the gains of giving be your portion in this season, in the name of Jesus.
