HOW DO YOU ROLL?



S.E.E.D. For Today___Walk

 Scripture "See, then, exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil;" Ephesians 5:15-16 Young's Literal Translation

 How do you roll? Are you an imitator of God or a procreator of the things of the world. In this letter to the Ephesians Paul stressed the need for the church to walk in love as Christ loved us. Get rid of all whoredom and all uncleanliness or covetousness, for you are saints. Get rid of all the filthiness and foolish talk. Be careful how you live and make the most of every opportunity in the evil days. Make good sense of the life given you and understand what the Lord's will is, carefully determine what pleases the Lord, and be careful how you live. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ.

Example Walk in the greek is peripateo in an ethical sense how I conduct my life. In full circle or in a complete circuit. Behave, or occupy, or to make one's way, make progress or make a due use of opportunities.

Exercise Read Galatians 5:1-20 Journal and talk to God. How do you roll? Take a ethical insight of your life, how do you conduct yourself at home, on your job, with your fellowman? Does The Word regulate your life, does it dictate the standards as it is given to govern our lives? What are you occupied with? The cares of this world will distract you and you will fail to make the progress necessary for spiritual growth. Use the questions to conduct inventory of your own life.

Devotion Lord we give you praise and honor this day. I confess today that I may not conduct myself according the principles laid before me from your word, but my goal is excellence in spite of  the disorder I can see. I pray for the wisdom to have conversations that are valuable, to take part in what in fruitful and to be mindful of what you expect of me. I pray that I will be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, making music to You in my heart. I give thanks to You for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 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 ...

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...

A MATTER OF HUMAN DIGNITY

S.E.E.D. For Today__ Humanity Scripture "So God created human beings in His image. In the image of God He created them. Genesis  1:27 NLT In light of everything that we are facing in our society today, police brutality and the horrific and senseless crimes that we commit against one another mankind must remember that we are destroying God's masterpiece. Ephesians 2:10 tells us;  "For we are God's masterpiece. He created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago." This was never God's plan He knew that after Adam sinned that all mankind would no longer have His nature so He sent His Son into the world that we would again be like Him. He knows the heart of men, and His message to us is to love one another as you love yourself. Love and hate are at war, this is not about race, this is a matter of human dignity. Example Humanity is the human race the action of humanity is humanness, benevolence, compassi...
