IDENTIFY



S.E.E.D. For Today_Identity

 Scripture "For we are God's Masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things that He planned for us long ago. Ephesians 2:10 NLT

 If you ever questioned your identity, who you are and why you exist, this is the answer. You are God's  Masterpiece. We are God's work of art, He is the creator, nothing exist apart from Him. He brought everything into being. We are the apex of God's workmanship not even the angels can compare to us for we are made in the image of God. Many Christians wonder about their identity in Christ, but you, the individual, you are God's special possession, the apple of His eye, heirs of the Kingdom of God. We often question our identity, why do we standout from the crowd, why am I different, why can't I be common? A masterpiece depending on the artist can have tremendous value,  your worth to God is priceless. The price was so high for His human masterpiece that He paid to get it back from the thief with His son's life. You see the thief Satan trespassed against God in His museum the Garden of Eden and stole His creation. He robbed them of relationship and peace with it's creator. God already prepared a path for us determined before we were ever born. He knew your identity while you were in the womb, the purpose and will for your life. Through Christ we have a new identity so we can do the good things that He planned for us.

Example The qualities, beliefs that distinguish a person or a thing.

Exercise Read Ephesians 2:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Corinthians 1:22 Listen, the enemy does not want you to realize your true identity. We remain stagnated because we can't identify with what God's word says about us. Don't be lost or confused about who you are, "He has identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts."(2 Corinthians 1:22a) Journal and talk to God about abandoning any image of yourself,  and what others have said about you.

Devotion Lord my prayer for today is to identify who I really am. I pray that I accept and embrace your assessment of me. I pray that my identity will be shaped by the Word of God not from the lies of the devil. I declare that I am God's Masterpiece, I have a new ID, I have been identified as His own. I cancel out every lie I have told myself about myself, I am who I am because of Christ 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...
