S.E.E.D. For Today_Prioritize

 S-cripture Matthew 6:33 "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need." NLT

Scripture stresses that God must be allowed to rule at the heart of a person's life. Jesus says in His Sermon on the Mount that we are to seek the Kingdom of God first. We are to seek the things of God as a priority over the things of the world. Seeking His salvation and living in obedience to Him should be the priority of every believer. Primarily what are our priorities? Do we seek God's rule over our lives, are we in pursuit of making ourselves available in representing God on the earth and to walk as He desires? God's commitment and faithfulness towards us never fails we are His top priority. All that He has given was for us, He put us first, He loved us first, sending us His Son and His Kingdom.

E-xample To seek His Kingdom is to seek to live in a way that honors God's presence and rule.

E-xercise Who and What is first in your life? Is God your first priority or are your natural concerns the priority of your life? Examine your life today, as you do ask yourself is God truly first, have I abandoned all my self concerns that He rules my life completely? The seeds that fell among the thorns are crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. But Jesus makes it clear have no thought or worry of these things, put God and His Kingdom above everything else, live righteously and He will give you everything you need. If not ask God to help you, to put First things First.

D-evotion Lord I know that words are seeds. The seed for today is prioritize. Are you first? When I awake in the morning how do I plan my day with or without you? Help me understand my call to live as a disciple of Christ. Jesus you said in Matthew 10:39 that whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. This year I am seeking you to experience an exchange of your Glory in my life and I'm learning that seeking You first is far more profitable than all the kingdoms and riches of this world. Today I worship you with my whole heart, my desire is for the purpose and will of the Kingdom of God be my top Priority.

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 ...

THE SAFE PLACE

S.E.E.D. For Today___ Safety Scripture "God is our safe place and our strength. He is always our help when we are in trouble." Psalms 46:1 New Life Version In light of all that is going on in our world God is the most dependable person we know. Murder, and violence plague our city's and nothing seems to be safe anymore. When everything seems to be falling apart God is our safety, our refuge from the storms of life. He doesn't protect us in order to pamper us, He shelter's us so He can strengthen us to go back to life with it's duties and dangers. Trouble describes people who are in tight places in a corner and unable to get out, but we are not to be afraid. The earth may change and things will be in utter chaos, but in the Lord we have safety. Though everything around us and in us seems to be restless, God is in control. God is our safe place, in His will, in His hands He got the whole world, He formed it, shaped it, created it, and man co...

"Your Time Is Coming!"

"My Destiny and it's timing is in the hand of God." Psalms 16:5 Your way of life, your fortune, your fate, your portion comes from God. Knowing God is to know that He operates in rhythm, seasons, or times. Ecclesiastes 3 breaks down very intricately the seasons, or timing of a man's life or destiny. It tells us in vs.1 that, "Everything on earth has its own time and its own season" ( CEV ) or " Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses." ( GNT ) Being in sync rhythmically with God is so vital to the believer, operating in boundaries of our destiny or fortune, is the ability to flow in purpose. God has a purpose for each of us, you will find it to be your greatest joy as you discover the privilege of understanding the intention of God for your life. There are times as believers we find it difficult to accept what God has given us. There will be times when your ideas of what you want may get in the way of you and God...
