LET US WORK
















S.E.E.D. For Today____Holiness

 Scripture "And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God." 2 Corinthians 7:1b NLT

 When you think about the believer today or the church, what is our view on the importance of holiness? The generation coming ahead will they even know what holiness is all about? Why is the chief attribute of God no longer the strongest part of our Christian education? It seems so strange to think that we have separated ourselves from this important nature of the Father to have engrafted a form of His holiness to become inclusive. Theologically it is true that when we are saved we are instantaneously justified and sanctified but we must fulfill our calling by progressive sanctification. The word of God exhorts us to cut off our unholy alliances (including our thoughts, desires, affections, anger, pride and more....) and cleanse ourselves that we live in the fulfillment of God and possess the promise.

 Example Holiness the chief attribute of God and a quality to be developed in His people. The primary and fundamental meaning is to cut or to separate. Men and Women of God are called to cultivate the holiness of God's own character in their lives.

Exercise Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 Journal and Talk to God. The call to holiness is a life of  consistent cleaning. We are to constantly purify ourselves daily as a way of making progress for sanctification is continuous because our human nature is prone to sin. Strive for holiness, be Holy for God is Holy, pursue it because you fear or reverence Him.

Devotion Lord I thank you for this day! Remove all fear, pride, and stubbornness of letting go of the things that defile this temple and that I work toward the completion of holiness in my life. Everyday it is a daily struggle but I must cleanse for righteousness sake. I pray that I stop adding You to my life without the result of change. I pray that I will never hold to a form of godliness but that the power of your holiness will transform me from the inside out. I pray that my belief and my behaviors match who I am in You. In reverence to who You are I work toward holiness 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...
