"Genetically Connected"

S.E.E.D. For Today

Scripture: "It is through Him that we live and function and have our identity; just as your own poets have said, Our lineage comes from Him." Acts 17:28 (TPT Bible)

Explanation: The God who made the world and everything in it is the owner and Lord of the heavenly realm and the earthly realm and does not live in man made temples. He supplies life and breath and all things to every living being. From one man, Adam He made every man and woman and every race of humanity and spread us all over the earth. Our lineage comes from God and since our lineage can be traced backed to Him how could we even think that the divine image of God could be compared to something made of gold or silver or stone, or by man's clever imagination. This disproves man's theory of all the things or other beings that some declare we originate from. We are all genetically connected to God. He gave us life. Our nature come from Him, we are His offspring. The greek word is genos, which means kindred or family, taken from His genes.

Exercise: All though we are all of different cultures, color and character, we are all genetically connected. In the book of Job it is recorded that "In His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind." (12:10) God has given us life, without Him we would have no function. Our identity is in Him and our lineage comes from Him. How valuable we are, made and created in the image of God to display Himself in the earth. You may not know your natural family lineage, but value that in your DNA is the creator of the universe. I challenge you to take a look at yourself and see your worth. You are the image of the Master of everything.

Devotion: Lord we thank you for being the One who gives us our being. Thank you for our heavenly lineage and that who we are and everything we will be is traced back to you. I pray that we will look at ourselves and others differently, that when we see each other let us always see God. You are the sheer reason and the divine principle, the logos, the spark of divinity that gives us life. We praise and glorify you. In Jesus Name Amen!

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 ...
