GIVE GIVE, GIVE

In The Year Of the Comeback And Uncommon Blessings


















S.E.E.D. For Today_Give

Scripture  "Give, and it will be given to you." Luke 6:38 NIV

This is all about letting go. Giving is a reasonable trait and the appropriate virtue of any disciple of Jesus Christ. It is also the foundation of the community life of the church. Jesus calls for generosity, while giving a promise. The one who gives will also receive, a persons generosity will always be honored by God. A person's activity of generosity sets the standard of God's reaction. Jesus graphically illustrates with measuring the assurance of the abundance of the sower's blessing. "For in accordance with the measure, it will be measured to you in return." 

Example Freely transfer the possession of something and hand it over to someone. The widow in Mark 12:42 who gave our of her poverty all she had to live on, two small copper coins, worth about one cent.

Exercise It's easy to give what you have, but very difficult to give what you don't. I challenge you today to let go and give God all, (your life, your time and your resources).  It's not about the amount it is about your willingness to give God everything. God wants to bless you He is offering you an exchange, what's yours, for His. The more you give the more God will honor your generosity. Seek to see what you can give to someone else, give what you wished to keep,  and watch God do miracles on your behalf.

Devotion Lord today help me to elevate my giving as I ask myself how much am I willing to give to God? I pray that this year I will not walk in fear, but trust, not doubt, but in faith as I give you all that you want and require of me. In Jesus Name Amen "Never give to God what you can, always give Him what you can't!" Pastor Danette Ray

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...

A MATTER OF HUMAN DIGNITY

S.E.E.D. For Today__ Humanity Scripture "So God created human beings in His image. In the image of God He created them. Genesis  1:27 NLT In light of everything that we are facing in our society today, police brutality and the horrific and senseless crimes that we commit against one another mankind must remember that we are destroying God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10 tells us;  "For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." This was never God's plan He knew that after Adam sinned that all mankind would no longer have His nature so He sent His Son into the world that we would again be like Him. He knows the heart of men, and His message to us is to love one another as you love yourself. Love and hate are at war, this is not about race, this is a matter of human dignity. Example Humanity is the human race the action of humanity is humanness, benevolence, compassi...
