A New Batch

S.E.E.D. For Today

Scripture: "Get rid of the old yeast that you may be a new batch without yeast as you really are."For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed." I Corinthians 5:7

Explanation: This is implying in reference to the remnant of the old heathenish and natural corruption of sin. The metaphor is taken from the extreme care of the Jews in searching every corner of their houses, and purging out every particle of yeast from the time of killing the lamb before Passover. 

Exhortation: As Christians we are to continually search and purge our hearts before the Lord. "Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me and I shall be whiter than snow." Psalms 51:7 We are free from the leaven or yeast of sin and death, know who you really are, Christ has already been sacrificed as our passover lamb removing the old yeast which should have been purged out long ago.

Devotion: In Matthew 16:6 Jesus gives a stern warning, "Be careful, be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees." Alarming His disciples to be cautious of the evil influence and hypocrisy of these Spiritual leaders. Ask God as you pray today to help you with the spiritual leavening in your life. The remnant of the old yeast, the impurity and corruption that tries to remain. Pray for cleansing that you may be a new batch, search every corner of your life, crying out purging every particle of old yeast, putting off the old self 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...
