Dunamis Seeds Of Destiny 2 October 2026 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche

TOPIC: Living Upright Through Love.

SCRIPTURE: Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law… Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. – Romans 13:8 &10

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You can never go wrong following the way of love.

THE MESSAGE:

The only debt any child of God is expected to owe is the debt of love. Romans 13 makes it clear that love is the fulfilment of the Law. He who loves has fulfilled the Law. This is because the person who truly loves will not hurt the people he loves, steal from them, lie to them, or covet what belongs to them.

Furthermore, Matthew 7:12 says, Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Love is not one commandment among many; it is the commandment that carries all the others inside it.

In our study today, we shall be looking at four critical reasons why love sits at the centre of upright living.

Love is the summary of the Scriptures.
Love is the summary of the Law and the prophets, which means it is also the summary of the Scriptures. The book of God is the book of love because God is love (1 John 4:8).
Love is the core of upright living.
Love is the anchor of uprightness. Love is the foundation for righteousness. You can never go wrong following the way of love.
Love is the proof of true spirituality.
Love is the authentic confirmation of a quality relationship with God. Anyone who knows God knows love. 1 John 4:20 says, If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?”It is not praying in tongues or fasting that confirms a person’s spirituality but the demonstration of love.
Love is what imparts value and profit to spiritual action.
Love is the guarantee of gain and reward in spiritual activity. If you are in bitterness while ushering, you are wasting your time. If you are in unforgiveness while counselling, you are wasting your time. Remember, 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 says, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Beloved, love for God plus love for man equals godliness and righteousness. On the other hand, lovelessness plus selfishness equals wickedness and sinfulness. There is so much wickedness in the world because there is so much lovelessness and selfishness.
Love, practically, means the release of goodwill towards others, treating others as you would want to be treated, defending their reputation, celebrating their progress, respecting their dignity, and giving of yourself to make life better for them.

REMEMBER THIS: You can never go wrong following the way of love.

ASSIGNMENT(S):

Examine one area of your spiritual service and ask whether it is being offered in love or in bitterness, envy, or duty alone.
Practice treating someone today exactly the way you would want to be treated.
Ask God to help you rejoice, without reservation, in someone else’s good news this week.
PRAYER: Father, teach me to walk in love, not as a feeling but as the fulfilling of Your law. Purge my heart of bitterness, envy, and selfishness. Let love be the anchor of my relationship with You and my interaction with men, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
