A KINGDOM DIVIDED



S.E.E.D. For Today__Undivided

 Scripture "Any Kingdom divided by civil war will collapse." Mark 3:24 NLT

 The logic of the religious leaders and detractors in Jesus day was ridiculous. For the Savior of the world to be in cahoots with His enemy could only be the ignorance of those who did not believe in Christ. Jesus knew their thoughts and made it very plain that any kingdom against itself will fall and will not stand. No kingdom, no house, no army, no business, no team, no movement can survive an internal war, Jesus was letting them know it's impossible. The civil unrest in this country beginning with the 18th century, of the Pennsylvania Mutiny of 1783, the anti-government protest by soldiers of the Continental Army against the Congress of the Confederation in Philadelphia, Pa., the Whiskey Rebellion and the Fries Rebellion in 1791 and 1799. The 19th century Cincinnati riots of 1829, the Nat Turner slave rebellion in Virginia 1831, the Anti abolitionist riot in New York City in 1834, the Lombard St. abolition riots 1842, Detroit race riots in 1863, the bread riots that broke out in civil war due to massive food shortages in 1863. The 20th century, the race riots in New York in 1901, the Harlem Riots in 1934, 1964 July 16th the police killing of James Powell in the Yorkville neighborhood east of Harlem started a string of race riots and the race riots in Philadelphia, the days of rage in 1969 in Chicago, in 1992 the riots over the verdict of Rodney King, where 50 people died. In the 21st century the Los Angeles Day melee in 2007, the riots against BART police shooting of Oscar Bart 2009, 2011 Occupy Wall St. 2012 NATO Chicago Summit. 2014 Ferguson, New York for Eric Garner, 2015 Baltimore over Freddie Gray, 2016 attacks on police over the shootings of Abdullahi Omar Muhammad, 2016, the Donald Trump Rally, the shooting of the Dallas Police, the Black Live Matters. Civil unrest through out the years is tearing the United States down, we see the destruction and the doom if it continues God help us all.

Example To Be divided is to display the split or the disunity of something or someone or groups. It's to be incomplete and detached, but undivided is to be complete, whole, wholehearted, dedicated, consistent and not separate.

Exercise Read Luke 11th Chapter Journal and Talk to God continue to pray for the civil unrest in our nation right now, with blacks, whites and police, the presidential election and the civil unrest around the world.

Devotion Lord Today fix my heart on unity, in my house and outside of my house. Lord create in me a clean heart and renew a loyal spirit in me that an internal war will not occur in my members. In my flesh dwells nothing right and at times my mind is at a civil unrest of Your Word and Your Principles. If there will be change around me there has to change in me. Arrest every thought of protest against the knowledge of Your Word. I will not let my flesh lead me into a rebellion against your Kingdom for I know divided from You I fall and undivided I live thank You for life in Jesus Name Amen.

Bursting Out Of It!

S.E.E.D. For Today:  Scripture: "Is this not the the fast which I have chosen: Loosen the bonds of wickedness." ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Explanation: There should be the right motive when we fast. The people of God in Isaiah observed but there was no change in them. When fasting we do not want to look at it as a religious ritual, but a means to transformation. The fruit of repentance ought to be evident in relationship with one another and our neighbor. If we fast and persist in arrogance, stubbornness, fighting and strife then we are only doing this out of routine. Exercise: Prayer is important to experience the grace and power of God when fasting. Without the consistency of prayer we will not see breakthrough. God is challenging us to do the fast He has chosen, the first means of business is releasing or loosing the bonds of wickedness. Whatever besets itself and entangles you again under the same slave system of missing the mark with God has to let you go. I challenge you ...

UN-DO!

S.E.E.D. For Today: Scripture: "Undo The Heavy Burdens" ( Isaiah 58:6 ) Example: There was a great deal of injustice in the land and with the rich exploiting the poor and the rulers using their authority only to make themselves richer. It was a conflict between truth and lies, just like in our land today. The people of God were no different in operating under the same system as this. But God called them out and wanted them to understand that their fasting was in vain if they did not undo the heavy burden they placed on others while still outwardly devoting themselves to religion or as they thought to God. Exercise: Let's invite the Holy Spirit to solve problems and aid us in lifting loads and overcome barriers that keep us and our loved ones from walking joyfully in the Lord. In self-denying love and care for others, let's undo any heavy burden or untie any yoke that we may have placed upon friends, family, associates or even employees. Devotion: Lord toda...

What to Wear, What Not to Wear!

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:2,5-8,13 TLC has a show entitled What Not to Wear. In this reality tv series family and friends recommend people for total transformation. The concept of the program is to take an individual who has not been able to give up garments that are old and out dated, clothing that leaves them lookin...
