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.

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...

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 ...

MOTIVATE

S.E.E.D. For Today_ Motivate S-cripture Hebrews 10:24 "Let Us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works" NLT The author's exhortation of faith, hope and love elaborates on the greatest of this triad which is love. Love is the greatest way to motivate because it is communal that it reaches out to others. The writer incites the believer that with great enthusiasm we motivate one another to love and to do good works. Example Provoke, encourage, stimulate, push, sharpen, provide the stimulus needed to go forth or not give up. Exercise Today challenge yourself to think of ways to motivate one another, pick up the phone call someone and motivate them to continue in the Lord, motivate someone to forgive and move forward, love and not hate, to be confident in God's Word for their lives. Motivate one another not to let sin deceive them, think of ways to provide the stimulus needed for the individuals you consider to reach. Devotion Lord ...
