"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

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
