Dunamis Seeds of Destiny 8 October 2024 Devotional By Dr. Paul Enenche: Putting Yourself In The Shoes Of Others
TOPIC: Putting Yourself In The Shoes Of Others (Seeds Of Destiny, 8 October 2024)
SCRIPTURE: And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Matthew 22:39
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The proof that you really love people is when you put yourself in their shoes and feel what they feel.
Dunamis seeds of Destiny For Today’s Message:
It has been established that one proof of love is having a heart of love for others. The proof of love is a heart for others. Now, what does having a heart for others mean? It means putting yourself in the shoes of others in all that you do.
When you have a heart for others, you put yourself in their shoes in the things you do. In other words, you tell yourself, “If I were the one going through the suffering of my neighbour, how would I feel?”
Let me give you one example. If I put myself in the shoes of my wife, I would care for the children, care for the family, care for food, and many other things women put themselves under pressure for in order to ensure the effective running of the home.

You know, most children go to their mothers when they need help. They go to their mothers when they need an eraser, a pencil, a note book, etc. They go to their mother for their assignment or home work to be done. And even when some children meet their dad for assignments, the dad would tell them, “Go and meet your mother.”
So, as a husband, when you understand what your wife is going through, you deal with her on the basis of the understanding that there is a lot of pressure on her. Women are the only ones that can handle situations when the phone is ringing, food is on the fire, baby just “pooed,” and then a stranger is knocking on the door. When you put a man in this kind of situation, he may run away from the house.
The point is, love means putting oneself in the shoes of others. The proof that you really love people is when you put yourself in their shoes and feel what they feel.
Remember this: The proof that you really love people is when you put yourself in their shoes and feel what they feel.
ASSIGNMENTS:
- Always put yourself in the shoes of others in all you do.
- Consider the feelings of others before doing anything.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You deliver me from self-centredness. I receive the grace to put myself in the shoes of others and to consider their feelings in all that I do, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
And you know, when you love like God loves, you do not struggle for money. Culled from the book “21 UNCOMMON KEYS TO FINANCIAL OVERFLOW” by Dr. Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Matthew 6-8.
AMAZING FACT: A human heart can beat outside the body as well.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION): The LORD engraces you to love like He does in Jesus’ Name.
PRAYER
Lord Jesus, come into my life. I accept You as my Lord and Personal Saviour. I believe in my heart You died and rose from the dead to save me. Thank you, Lord, for saving me, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
