"The River Of God"

S.E.E.D. For Today

Scripture: "Then he showed me (the angel of the Lord) the river whose waters give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne of God and of the Lamb." Revelation 22:1 (AMPC Bible)

Explanation: The angel shows John a pure river of water, the water of life which flows from the throne of God and the Lamb. In the middle of the street of the city on either side of the river was the tree of life, yielding every month fresh fruit. The leaves of the tree were for the healing and restoration of the nations. The angel spoke to John revealing to him that there would no longer exist anything that is accursed, detestable, foul, offensive, impure, hateful or horrible. That the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it.

Example: Life in this world has left us dry and thirsty in a weary, weary land. But the good news is that there is a river that flows from the sanctuary of heaven that is pure, free from the delusional contents of this world. The Lamb has provided us the water, Jesus promised it in John 7:37-39; anyone thirsty may come and if they believe in me they can drink, for rivers of living waters will flow from their heart. Just as the woman at the well who was trying to sustain her life by means of natural water, experienced Jesus the living water. If we drink of Him we will never thirst again. In our natural reality the wells run empty and we end up with nothing to draw with and run out of places and people we can draw from. But your future is so great! John reveals to us that there is a river that gives life, healing and restoration and it flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb. How fortunate we are to have this hope. I challenge you to pursue the River of God, move continuously toward the substance that gives life. So many times we choose to drink what causes a sensation over what is substantial. Draw your life from the well named Jesus you will never complain of thirst again!

Devotion: Lord I thank You for the River of God. I pray against everything that tries to induce, or allure or attract me from Your presence, to ignore Your grace and to disrespect Your mercy. Lord I seek You to provoke in me the right attitude towards life, that I will inhale and exhale the very essence of who You are. Produce a likeness and a representation of Your love, faithfulness and compassion in me. Thank You for the River whose waters give life 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 ...
