TOPIC: Hindrances To The Love Life (Seeds Of Destiny 3 October 2026)
SCRIPTURE: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not. – Galatians 6:9
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We have received mercy so we can administer mercy.
Seeds Of Destiny For Today 2026 MESSAGE
God is the God of love (1 John 4:8), and everything He does, He does on the platform of love. He commands us to live and love like Him. The only debt a Christian is expected to owe is the debt of love (Romans 13:8–10).
However, Scripture also shows that in the journey of love, we may be confronted with weariness. Some situations can frustrate the attempt to love; one may be willing to love, yet circumstances make it difficult.
In today’s study, we shall be looking at three hindrances to the life of love, and their remedies.
- Love deprivation.
Love deprivation, especially in childhood, is a major cause of the lack of love demonstrated in adulthood. Deliveries are the products of deposits. It is where there has been a deposit that a demand can be made; where there has been no deposit, there can be no withdrawal. Children who grow up in a climate of total love bankruptcy grow up unable to receive love and unable to give it. - Human ingratitude (2 Timothy 3:2)
Doing things for people who cannot even say, ‘thank you’ applies both towards God and towards others. A poor value system is one cause of ingratitude, and a spell of forgetfulness is another. Psalm 103:1–2 says, Bless the Lord, O my soul… and forget not all his benefits. - Human wickedness and misbehaviour.
Ingratitude is a lack of acknowledgement; wickedness is when good done to people is met with malice and evil. David experienced this when he said, They have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love(Psalm 109:5). Human beings are our greatest assets and can also be our worst liabilities.
What then are the remedies for the hindrances to a life love?
- God is described in Scripture as the Father of the fatherless. There is no father like Him. He can repair a shattered life and destiny. What was never deposited by an earthly parent, God can deposit Himself.
- If God has commanded it, then do it, for the sake of your own destiny. Do not let anyone’s ingratitude affect your generosity. Do not allow anyone’s reaction determine whether the right thing should be done or not. Character is a major determinant of destiny; it is little hinges that swing big doors.
Beloved, keep doing good, remembering that no one has ever carried a single coin from earth into eternity.
REMEMBER THIS: We have received mercy so we can administer mercy.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
- If you carry a wound from a loveless upbringing, bring it to God today and ask Him, as Father of the fatherless, to repair what was broken.
- Do one good deed for someone today regardless of whether you expect any thanks in return.
- Recall one instance where your good deed was repaid with evil; release it to God and choose to keep doing good rather than evil or retaliation.
PRAYER: Father, repair every place in me marked by love deprivation, and give me a grateful, undiscouraged heart. Help me to keep doing good even where it is met with ingratitude, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
