"Walk Together"

"Two people will not [Can two.....?] walk together unless they have agreed to do so [or to meet; or on the direction]." Amos 3:3

 In Amos the 3rd chapter God is speaking through the prophet to His people because He saw that they were going astray so perversely after their lusts. In some sense God is asking a question; "do you wish for me to walk with you? Or perhaps "do you wish that my blessing dwell among you, to continue to show you My paternal love and bountiful support for you? "So why then do you not walk with Me or there not be a mutual consent? Why do you not respond to me? for I am ready to walk with you."(TPC) The prophet affirms that he speaks by God's command in agreement with Him and that he was fully persuaded that their is nothing we should do according to our own will but wait for the call of God that there be no chance of self leading us astray, but to stay on the road the Lord has pointed out.

Agreement is the harmony or accordance in opinion or feeling, a position or result of agreeing,  or the absence of incompatibility between two things; consistency. To be in accord, to concur, to come to an understanding, to be pleasing and acceptable.

Amos was warning the people of their inconsistency and their action being incompatible of being children of God. How do you live as He requires if it is incompatible to the direction you are headed in? Out of harmony, out of sync with the will of God for your life can make room for a path that is not God's intention for you.

On mother's day I mistakenly mixed match shoes in the same box, grabbed them because I assumed they matched. After arriving to church and putting on the shoes I saw they were not the same, but I put them on any way. Although different the shoes were made by the same designer and after putting them on and meeting with my feet we agreed to walk together. Agreement is a necessity and life's circumstances will not all be the same but their is One Designer (God). I made up in my mind, no matter how imbalanced the shoes were, we would walk together.

Today I encourage you that it can be challenging when life mixes itself, although there are times when you have to walk in things that are not the same or what you are you used to, bring it into agreement with God. You will experience the power and see the beauty in walking together. My shoes came into agreement because I understood that it was of no purpose of mine but of God's. Sin is disagreement with God, but coming into agreement with His will, is profitable for your happiness, success, blessings and eternity. May you and God always "Walk Together"!

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...
