DOORS



S.E.E.D. For Today_Doors

Scripture "I know all the things you do, and I have opened a door for you that no one can close. You have little strength, yet you have obeyed my word and did not deny me." Revelation 3:8 NLT

This is the message from the One who is Holy and True, to the church in Philadelphia. "What He opens no one can close;". The meaning of this statement of an open door in the Greek indicates that this door has been opened and remains open, although the Lord can shut it again. In this door no one is not going out through the door into the world but it is a coming through the door into the Kingdom.  God opens the door that no one is able to shut, so that people may enter into His presence.  These are the acts of His government. Through Christ God has opened the door for those who choose to enter into His salvation, relationship, and to experience the opportunities that are available to those who persevere. God opens doors of opportunity that other's cannot obtain. However weak we are, Christ keeps the door open for us. What He opens no one can shut nor can they oppose Him.

Example Door is a portal, an opening, access, entrance or entry, or exit. Biblically Jesus is a door, those of us who enter that door gets to experience life under His care and rule.

Exercise Read Revelation Chapter 3 Journal and talk to God. The church in Philadelphia is being commended, but with a gentle reproof. Never rest or be satisfied in a little, persevere that you may grow in grace. There is a reward for faithfulness especially in trying times. Those who continue in the gospel shall be kept in the midst of trouble. Doors will open for those inspite of their circumstance because they have obeyed God's word and did not deny Him. 

Devotion Lord I pray today for Your mercy and grace. I thank You for the many doors of opportunity that are before me. Thank You for being the portal to life, the opening for peace, the access for joy, the entrance into God's Kingdom, the entry into eternal life, I thank You for being the exit from the grave, I thank You for being the vehicle to blessings. I thank You for everyday door you shut that was not meant, but I with total trust enter the doors that You have open. Thank You for the endless possibilities 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...
