TOPIC: Avoid Bitterness (Seeds Of Destiny 26 May 2026)
SCRIPTURE: Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. – James 3:11-12
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: No one can harbour bitterness and accommodate loveliness at the same time.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2026 MESSAGE
Our anchor Scripture makes us understand that it is impossible to be bitter and lovely at the same time. No one can harbour bitterness and accommodate loveliness at the same time. It is not possible to be a bitter personality and a sweet personality at the same time; the bitterness will corrupt the sweetness.

There is a transfer of aggression that happens when a man shouts at his wife until the wife becomes so agitated and transfers the aggression to the children. She is getting some terrible pressure from her husband and is finally trying to find time to calm her head. If her children call on her at that time, the aggression will flow in their direction.
That is why James asks the question in our anchor Scripture: “Does a fountain send forth sweet and bitter water at the same place?” Thus, the plague of bitterness not only affects the flow of your love towards the person you are bitter against; it also affects the flow of your love towards others.
Bitterness and unforgiveness will facilitate and enhance loveless living.
For example, a young lady was disappointed and jilted by a brutal, heartless man who ate her food and borrowed money from her. She knew how to love in excess until she was injured emotionally by the heartless man who abandoned her and went to another girl. Now, she becomes very bitter against the man, but that is not the problem. She also transferred that bitterness to another genuine man who had a clear and better intention for her. The bitterness corrupted her sweetness. This person, who used to be an exciting and charming young lady, is now very tense, agitated and aggressive.
Do you remember what David told Solomon? He said, “You see this Joab; don’t let his grey hair go to the grave in peace because he shed the blood of war in the time of peace.” (1 Kings 2:5-6 paraphrased) That was what bitterness caused Joab. The war had ended, and people died on both sides, but he was still holding the issues of the war against someone. No! It ought not to be so.
Beloved, if you love your neighbour, you won’t push them from their positions, so you can take them. The challenge facing the world today is the bankruptcy of love.
REMEMBER THIS: No one can harbour bitterness and accommodate loveliness at the same time.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- Make up your mind never to harbour hate and bitterness towards people.
- Anything that makes you bitter towards people is not in the interest of your life and destiny; avoid it!
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Deliver me from every spirit of bitterness. Baptise me with the Spirit of love, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
