"Believe"

S.E.E.D. For Today

Scripture: "Because they did not have any faith, He did not perform many miracles there." Matthew 13:58 (NIV Bible)

Explanation: "Jesus said to them, A prophet is respected everywhere except in his own town and by his own family."(13:57) The Lord was referring to His home of Nazareth. It was a small town where there was not much moral or religious character. Nazareth in the Greek form of Hebrew was nester, which means shoot or sprout, a watch tower. Jesus went everywhere, healing the sick, casting out demons and raising the dead. But amongst His own people and family He was misunderstood and rejected.

Exercise: To every man is given a measure of faith. Often we see many who may not be followers of Christ believe for healing, for a better life, for their family, success, and receive it. Why? Because of faith, God honors faith. On the flip side of that I see followers of Christ not healed, not successful, because of our disbelief. We believe Christ to be Messiah, we accept Him as savior, declare Him to be Lord, but we don't cast our concerns on Him, we do not pursue Him first, but we do the opposite of what has been commanded, we worry, we fear, we stress, our hearts are filled with anxiety, sleepless nights, frustrated mornings, no joy, no peace, the list goes on. Where is our faith! We reject everything the Lord says, our perception of God's word is blurry and we don't see the miracles that we should. I challenge you to Believe! Mark 16:17 says; "that miraculous signs would accompany those who believe, they will cast out demons, speak in tongues, handle serpents with safety, digest poison and it won't hurt them, lay hands on the sick, and they will be healed." Nazareth was known as a hood, someone so powerful came from there, His name is Jesus.


Devotion: Lord, help our disbelief, You declare that we are Your own chosen possession and yet we still misunderstand and reject Your teaching. Touch our mental rejection towards Your word. We cast out reason and logic, ideology, our philosophies, etc. Some of us are trapped in disbelief, release us from this prison and help us walk by faith and not sight. Continue to carry out your mighty acts and perform as only You can. Help us to have a firm conviction of our faith, a grip on our trust in You. Astound and amaze us O' God, as we Believe 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 ...

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...
