YOU CAN WIN!



















S.E.E.D. For Today___Win

Scripture "By Your endurance you will win your lives." Luke 21:19 World English Bible

Working out your salvation can be very hard, but endurance, steadfastness or perseverance is the key to winning. Jesus is saying that the disciple or the believer must cling to their faith in the midst of persecution and by standing firm you will gain life. The enemy always appears to be winning but it is just an appearance only and not the reality, for they can do nothing against you that God won't make work for the good of them that love Him. But our flesh often feels the pain and often ops to faint in the face of affliction. Don't yield to the lies of the accusers for they will say you can't win, but you can win. Don't yield to irritation, don't yield to depression, don't yield to fear, don't yield to failure, do not yield to temptation, correct the mistakes that you can and endure. In the movie the wiz the scarecrow is forced to believe the lies of the black crows, that he doesn't have a brain so he had no knowledge. They forced him to sing the crow anthem titled "You Can't Win" but you can win!, by your endurance you will win your lives.

Example Win to achieve the victory, to gain, to be successful or victorious. To win the prize in a competition. The bible describes us as athletes. in some instances running a race and that the race is not given to the swiftest, the wisest or the craftiest, but to the one that endures to the end, that's the one who wins.

Exercise Read Luke 21:5-19 Journal and talk to God about your insecurities, the things you yield to when you believe the enemies lies about you. He wants you to believe you can't win, he wants you to repeat his anthem for your life in your head over and over again. But the devil is a liar and the Bible declares that you win. You can get out of the world's game for Christ has given you the victory.

Devotion Lord I thank you for this day. I pray for the strength to yield against all the thoughts and lies presented daily. The lies that I will never make it, or that I will never be anything, that I'm living for Christ for nothing, I reject these suggestions and thoughts, I yield my body and my mind unto you today. I know that you have me covered and I know that in You I Can Win 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 ...
