Planting





S.E.E.D. For Today_Invest (Planting)

Scripture "People harvest only what they plant." Galatians 6:7b New Century Version Bible

 Sowing to the flesh and sowing to the spirit. Sowing to the flesh means to allow the old nature to have it's way, so also sowing to the Spirit means to allow the Holy Spirit to have His way. The one sower does their sowing in order to promote their flesh, the other does their sowing in order to promote the Spirit. This is dealing with corruption and life. Everyone is looking to reap the benefits of a good life, but people can only harvest what they plant. If we sow seeds to the flesh the harvest will be of fleshly benefits. In the flesh there is nothing good, there we deal with our lust and pleasure and the final harvest of the flesh is corruption. When we sow to the Spirit we reap the harvest of life and the Kingdom of God. Yesterday we talked about investing and risk tolerance. Corruption in the investment world strikes simultaneously it hits profit and benefit. It cripples growth and drains those investors returns. If you plant in corruption, you will reap corruption, so be careful how you plant. What profit will a man receive if by corruption gains everything but loses his soul.

Example to put something firmly in a particular place, to put seed or sow into the ground or into a container of the earth so that it will grow.

Exercise Read Galatians 6:7-10 With the choice you have been given where are you planting or investing your seed. God lets us know "whatever a man sows that is what he will reap" you are entitled to a return, but what have you planted? Check your planting method is it of corruption or life.

Devotion Lord today I pray for wisdom. I know that you invested your Son's life for an exchange for mine. I pray for the knowledge to sow in the Spirit that I reap the harvest of Your Spirit and Your Kingdom. Help my flesh the parts of me that knows how to satisfy itself but defy's Your word by doing it. I pray for the obedience to plant well that the harvest is well with my soul 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...
