THE KEY TO LIFE

















S.E.E.D. For Today_Choice

 Scripture "Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. You can make this choice by loving the Lord your God, obeying Him and committing yourself firmly to Him. This is the key to your life." Deuteronomy 30:19a; 20 NLT

 Since we are created in the image of God, we have minds to think with, and a will to decide with; and God calls us to make right decisions. Moses made it clear that making this decision isn't a difficult task. In Israel's case the choice was between trusting God and enjoying the bounties of the land or turning to idols and experiencing the curses given in the covenant. It's either life and blessing or death and cursing is this such a difficult decision to make. Of course today the choice is between eternal life or eternal death, salvation by the grace of God or condemnation by the righteousness of God. The sensible decision is to choose life but many struggle with this choice. Moses called all creation to witness this great opportunity for God's people. The same opportunity then is the same opportunity given to us today. "In Him we live, and move and have our being." The choices that we don't make could ruin our future forever.

 Example Choice is the act of choosing; the act of picking or deciding between two or more possibilities.

Exercise Read Deuteronomy 30:11-20 Journal or discuss with God the choices you make daily. Do they reflect that you have made a sound choice to love and obey, and commit yourself firmly to Him. For the most part many of us hang in the middle, we are not giving up either. But you must make a choice, life or death, blessings or curses there is no other way. The answer is not just coming to church, the answer is being in a faithful relationship with God.

Devotion Lord my prayer for today is that you forgive me of the choices I have made, but today I choose life and blessings. I thank You for giving us this great opportunity. Lord help me search You continually, denying myself of the control to run my own life, but I know that if I lose my life I will have it. I thank You for always making Your will known to us and not destroying us, thank You for Your love it gives me the strength to say I do 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...
