DON'T CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM


















S.E.E.D. For Today_Enthusiasm


 S-cripture "Be diligent and do not be lazy, be enthusiastic in spirit; be working for your Lord." Romans 12:11 ABPE

 Christian diligence is diminishing throughout the body of Christ. No man will work long at a task that his heart is not in, and if so it could be out of obligation to ones faith or vocation. Paul's desire is for all Christians to have fervent diligence and enthusiasm in spirit for the work of the Lord. Paul admonishes Christians not to be idle but to occupy themselves with the business of God's Kingdom.

 Example Have passion, zeal, with eagerness, excitement and enjoyment, with intensity and interest.

Exercise It's very easy to get idle for the industrious things of the Kingdom of God. We have been called to serve and advance the Will of the Lord. Circumstances can rob us of our passion, eagerness and enjoyment of serving Christ. Many have curbed their enthusiasm. Challenge yourself today to examine your walk, try to remember what happened that suppressed your enthusiasm, when you lost fervor and you started serving out of obligation. Make a fresh commitment to the will of the Lord reigniting your enthusiasm.

Devotion Lord today forgive me for the enthusiasm I lost along the way. Where have I curbed my enthusiasm, what has hindered me, my passion, my zeal, the excitement, the enjoyment for the work of the Lord? My prayer today is that I do not put restraints on my willingness to serve you, but with great enthusiasm in spirit I will be diligent in all things that please 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...

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 ...

MOTIVATE

S.E.E.D. For Today_ Motivate S-cripture Hebrews 10:24 "Let Us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works" NLT The author's exhortation of faith, hope and love elaborates on the greatest of this triad which is love. Love is the greatest way to motivate because it is communal that it reaches out to others. The writer incites the believer that with great enthusiasm we motivate one another to love and to do good works. Example Provoke, encourage, stimulate, push, sharpen, provide the stimulus needed to go forth or not give up. Exercise Today challenge yourself to think of ways to motivate one another, pick up the phone call someone and motivate them to continue in the Lord, motivate someone to forgive and move forward, love and not hate, to be confident in God's Word for their lives. Motivate one another not to let sin deceive them, think of ways to provide the stimulus needed for the individuals you consider to reach. Devotion Lord ...
