"GRACE"

S.E.E.D. For Today

 Scripture: "You are not forgotten, for you have been chosen and destined by the Father God. The Holy Spirit has set you apart to be God's holy ones, obedient followers of Jesus Christ who have been gloriously sprinkled with His blood. May God's delightful grace and peace cascade over you many times over!" I Peter 1:2 (TPT Bible)

Explanation: Jesus told Peter that his life mission after his resurrection would be to strengthen the faith of believers worldwide. Remember Jesus rebukes Peter and informs him that He has prayed for Peter's faith that it will not fail and when he has turned back he is to strengthen his brothers. For this Peter needed an unusual grace to strengthen his faith. That grace cascaded over his life, over and over that he was emboldened to persevere, empowered to overcome and encouraged to remain faithful. It was grace that restored Peter after his fall.

Exercise: Everyone needs grace to overcome life's difficult seasons. For some it may be a difficult marriage, situations with children, roadblocks or limitations, hardships and much more. That's when we need the strengthening grace of God. I want to encourage you to read I Peter, in it you will see there is an abundance of hopeful grace found in the word of God. The word of God will impart to you overcoming grace, to quit smoking, stop cussing, stop lying, drinking...etc, it will keep you in loneliness and comfort you in sadness. Today let the word breakthrough and allow it to release within you this amazing grace!

Devotion: Lord we thank you for Grace! We celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for showing us your extravagant mercy, to experience a new life. Grace strengthen our faith, saturate us with an ecstatic joy, indescribably sublime and immersed in glory. Grace to embolden us, empower us and encourage us. 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 ...
