STABILITY


















S.E.E.D. For Today_Stability

 Scripture "It is life to me now, if you stand firm in the Lord." 1 Thessalonians 3:8 Moffat New Testament

 Paul who definitely made the choice to give his life totally for the sake of the gospel, willingly underwent distress, persecution, prison, beaten, forsaken, the tribulation he endured to him was nothing compared to his choice to live for Christ. But he was comforted knowing that the church in Thessalonica had stability in the faith. Paul's heart is on fire for the Lord and this tender affection he has for this church is because they have kept their position. This uplifted Paul, he could not find enough words to describe the joy and the positive effect their stability in the faith was to him. It was like a shot of life, it fueled his purpose. As a pastor it encourages and strengthens your life when you see the saints persevere, standing firm in their faith no matter what. This comfort is good for all those that are leading the church. The steadfastness of people's faith brings life to those who minister the gospel.

Example The strength to stand and endure. The state or quality of something that is not easily changed or likely to change.

Exercise Read I Thessalonians Chapter 3 Journal or talk to God about your stability in the faith. Stability is a choice, the most intelligent choice we can make. By stability it is intended that the choice not be changed. The stability to Love and Obey God, without wavering, to love one another in stability, to serve in stability. Stability as opposed to instability is a choice. What do you choose?

Devotion Lord my prayer today is for stability. My appeal to You today is for strength to oppose instability, strength to get rid of fear that keeps me doubtful, I pray for  wisdom and knowledge. I thank you for Your justice, righteousness and salvation. Lord I thank you that as an attribute of my benevolence unto You, I remain stable in heart, that my steadfastness will give life to the body. I pray that stability become a part of my character. Today this is my choice, my unchanging intention 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.

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...
