STRONGER TOGETHER!
























S.E.E.D. For Today_____Together

 Scripture "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone the he falls and has not another to lift him up!" Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 ESV

 This week history was made, the United States of America has it's first female presidential nominee. But that's the exciting news, on the downside there are the spiraling levels of hate and discord that has occurred on both sides of the parties that serve to run this oh not so perfect union of this nation. It has drawn this ugly portion into the masterpiece of our country. Solomon's experience with the independent man caused him to consider the importance of friendship and value of people doing things together. There is a jewish proverb that says a friendless man is like a left hand bereft of the right. Two is definitely better than one, if this nation united we could get so much done. If the left wing and the right could come together oh how this nation would soar for the betterment of all humanity. In the body of Christ it's the same we are divided by parties which are called denominations or ideals, or in how we fellowship, but in Christ there should be no separatism, one Faith, one Lord, church we are stronger together. As believers we should always think in terms of unity, we are called to present a beautiful picture of what loving one another looks like.

 Example Together is to be in union, relationship, to agree to disagree but still maintain a wholeness, conjointly, stable and well organized. Harmony, simultaneously, to assist, to put power together. For everyone to work in labor together, to partner. Cooperate with one another.

Exercise Read Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Journal and Talk to God. Today how many of you can be apart of spreading unity?  The DNC talked about being change makers. I challenge you.

Devotion Lord I thank You for this day. Once again eight years later we have lived through another major historical moment in the world. Lord I want to be a change maker for I know that we are stronger together. In the Garden You said it was not good for the man to be alone and You created for him a help mate. You are a God of community, relationship, and help me be more like You. I pray to display love in every way how I talk to others, how I react to others and how I see others, for in every human I must see You. I pray that we all understand that we are Your image, we are Your brand and united we stand but divided we fall 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...
