"SHIFT"

S.E.E.D. For Today

 Scripture: "Laziness brings on deep sleep, and the shiftless go hungry." Proverbs 19:15 NIV

 Explanation: Shift is to change for or replace by another, it's simply to change direction, position or place. A turning. In the book of Wisdom the writer shares with us the dangers of no change and being comfortable, complacent, and staying put. That person will never have more than what they already have and will soon starve. We are in a new and marvelous season and we see everything in the earth is shifting and especially God. It is detrimental to a believer when they lack the wisdom and understanding to move when God is moving. What ever God is doing you have to get in it, don't sit there and watch God move, when God says it time to shift, you must be ready to shift with Him.

Exercise: Today I want you to confront your laziness, procrastination or your pessimism, (many of us lack in hope and confidence for the future.) Readjust your thinking towards greatness, don't focus on the pitfalls but gaze on the possibilities. Go beyond the evidence available to you and ask God for the grace to increase your faith.

Devotion: You cannot stop pressing in to experience more of God. What you experienced in another season of your life cannot be your expectation in the next. The Spirit of God is a moving Spirit and in this season Grace is your escort into destiny. We implore grace in the name of Jesus and the Holy Spirit to fill us with fresh faith, Lord we are hungry and invite you into our midst, fill the earth with your power, the power that breaks yokes, heals, delivers and sets free. We pray that we will be willing to host your Presence and that we would shift from glory to glory. 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

Looking Forward to What Lies Ahead

"But all these things that I once thought very worthwhile, now I've thrown them all away so that I can put my trust and hope in Christ alone. Yes everything else is worthless when compared with the priceless gain of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. I have put aside all else, counting it worth less than nothing, in order that I can have Christ, and become one with Him, no longer counting on being saved by being good enough or by obeying God's laws, but by trusting Christ to save me; for God's way of making us right with Himself depends on faith, counting on Christ alone. Now I have given up everything else, I have found it to be the only way to really know Christ and to experience the mighty power that brought Him back to life again, and to find out what it means to suffer and to die with Him. So whatever it takes, I will be one who lives in the fresh newness of life of those who are alive from the dead. I don't mean to say I am perfect. I haven't learned all I sho
