PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 24TH DECEMBER 2024.
Hate is a negative behaviour with many toxic effects. The interesting thing is that not even the hater is spared the toxicity of their hate.
One of the toxic effects or destructiveness of hate on the hater is the frustration and disappointment of their own expectations.
The hater will always end up frustrated and disappointed in life.
In Scripture, God usually frustrates the expectations of the hater and opens doors for the one who is hated. We find a good example in Genesis 29:31 which says,
“And when the Lord saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.” When the Lord saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb, while Rachel who was loved remained barren.
If you want someone’s doors to open, hate them. If you want them to experience more breakthroughs in life, hate them. The truth is, consciously or unconsciously, those who hate you end up becoming instruments in God’s Hands to help you. This is because, in God’s Presence, the hated becomes a candidate for His help.
We see another example in Exodus 1:12 which says, “But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved because of the children of Israel.” This means that the more the Egyptians hated and afflicted the Israelites, the more the Israelites grew and multiplied. The Israelites grew so large in number that the Egyptians were grieved and wanted to destroy them, but the Israelites could not be overcome.
This is how God frustrates your haters. So, do not fear hatred. Do not be afraid of being hated, because if a man did not lift you up, that man cannot bring you down. If a man did not create you, he cannot finish you.
Remember this: Consciously or unconsciously, those who hate you end up becoming instruments in God’s Hands to help you.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Maintain a godly character, live an upright life.
2. Don’t be afraid of being hated by people so long as your ways are right before God.
3. Always know that when people hate you, that is when God is set to lift you.
PRAYER: Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I access great heights in You as I experience Your lifting Power amid people’s hate, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
