The Topic of Seeds of Destiny Devotional for Today 16th September 2024 Is “The Plague Of Self-centredness”
Scripture: 2 Timothy 3:1-2 (NLT).
You should also know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. 2 For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred.
Thought for The Day: Selfishness is characterized by people loving only themselves and their money.

PASTOR PAUL ENENCHE’S SEEDS OF DESTINY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR 16TH SEPTEMBER 2024.
The plague of selfishness or self-centeredness has been identified to be a major hindrance to the love life. We live in a world that is plagued with selfishness and self-centeredness.
2 Timothy 3:1-2 says,
1. This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy
(KJV).
So, don’t be surprised when you find yourself in an environment, association or group where no one cares about you. In most relationships these days, people don’t care about others, but about themselves. We live in a world that is filled with self-absorbed people.
Let me relate a very funny story to you. Many years ago, I asked a young man a question, “What kind of woman would you like to marry?”
He said, “I don’t like those selfish kinds of women. I mean those kinds of women who always demand attention, who always want you to do things for them only.”
Then I asked him again, “Then what kind of woman would you like for a wife?”
He said, “I like the kind of woman that will pet me and baby me.”
I was shocked because it looked as if he didn’t remember what he told me earlier about the kind of woman he didn’t like for a wife.
That was a true definition of selfishness. The young man did not want a wife whom he would pet; rather, he wanted a wife that would pet him. It does not work like that.
You must understand that self-centeredness is the root of many problems in this world. Self-centeredness is behind kidnapping, armed robbery, embezzlement and corruption, etc. It is self-centeredness when a government officer embezzles the money that is meant to develop a whole community or state.
Beloved, my counsel is: make up your mind to live a selfless and impactful life.
Remember this: Selfishness is characterized by people loving only themselves and their money.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Avoid the trap and plague of selfishness.
2. Ask God for the grace to be selfless in all your do.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from selfishness or self-centeredness. I receive the grace to live a selfless and impactful life, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
