S.E.E.D. For Today 

Scripture: "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy." "Going forth he shall go and weep, carrying the price of the seed: coming he shall return with rejoicing, carrying his sheaves with him." Psalms 126:5-6 John Calvin Commentary On The Book Of Psalms

 Explanation: The psalmist prayed for the restoration of the land to it's fruitfulness and convince the people to return to Zion and join in God's program to restore the community as they centered themselves in The City of David. Their response to this appeal would reverse the misfortune of their captivity.

Example: The People being to sang praises to God, for God took a course of action against the oppressive circumstances of which they had to endure. It was like a dream come true, those who went off wth heavy hearts (weeping) would come home with armloads of blessings. As the psalmist exhorted them I exhort you to know that God is moving in 2018 on your behalf. He is going to restore your fortune, trust you and put in your hands what was in the hands of the wicked to use and bring Him glory. Reversal Of Fortune.

Devotion: Lord we thank you for this New Year. New Beginnings. "And now God, do it again, bring rains to our drought stricken lives, as we go forth we may be weeping but we know that is the price of the seed. We will continuously praise you for this new harvest in Jesus Name Amen. It's YOUR TIME! Happy New Year.

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 ...

MOTIVATE

S.E.E.D. For Today_ Motivate S-cripture Hebrews 10:24 "Let Us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works" NLT The author's exhortation of faith, hope and love elaborates on the greatest of this triad which is love. Love is the greatest way to motivate because it is communal that it reaches out to others. The writer incites the believer that with great enthusiasm we motivate one another to love and to do good works. Example Provoke, encourage, stimulate, push, sharpen, provide the stimulus needed to go forth or not give up. Exercise Today challenge yourself to think of ways to motivate one another, pick up the phone call someone and motivate them to continue in the Lord, motivate someone to forgive and move forward, love and not hate, to be confident in God's Word for their lives. Motivate one another not to let sin deceive them, think of ways to provide the stimulus needed for the individuals you consider to reach. Devotion Lord ...
