Fashion That Doesn't Fit



















S.E.E.D. For Today_Fashion

 Scripture "And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2 ASV Bible

As citizens of heaven we should no longer conform to the present age. It cannot and must not serve as a model for Christian living. It's values, and goals are in opposition to growth in holiness. The church should stand out from the world  as a demonstration of God's intentions for the human race. To engage in culture is one thing to be culturally identified with the world is to place the church at risk. Rather than allowing the world to squeeze you into it's fashion you are to be transforming fashion by the renewing of your minds. There is continuing pressure to adopt the customs and mind-set of the world in which we live, but we must reject it. Releasing ourselves from the control of the world around us, we can come to know what God has in mind for us.

Example A popular trend, especially in styles of dress and ornament or manners of behavior. A way of doing things. Formed, a custom look. Conformity, mode of action, method of conduct, to adapt.

Exercise Read Romans 12:1-2 The church has adopted much of the fashion (customs, manners) of this world. This fashion does not fit us. We are unique in fashion and style. God chose to set us apart from the world and the sensations of it. We continue to wear fashion that does not fit us as believers. We are to clothe ourselves with Your righteousness and holiness. Let's examine ourselves today. What are you wearing?

Devotion Lord I present my mind to you today, that I continually allow you to style my mind that I be transformed and fashioned in Your image. Forgive me for putting on things that no longer fit who I am as a new creature in Christ. I lay aside the weight that causes me to fall off so easily. I give my life as a living sacrifice that your good, acceptable and perfect will be done 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 ...

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...
