Body that turns Seed
Bible Reading:   1st Corinthians 15:35-38
Key Verse: But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 1st Cor. 15:38

DEVOTION

We are the chosen seeds that are planted not just for ourselves but for our generation’s generation. The bloom we carry isn’t just for display—it’s for legacy. Just like trees that offer shade, fruit, and beauty long after their initial planting, our lives are meant to nourish and impact others.
When God planted us, He knew exactly what kind of soil, environment, and season we would need to grow.
And just as spring reminds us that growth is inevitable when rooted in the right place, our lives will flourish when rooted in Christ. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us, nurturing our growth and helping us bloom in our own time.
We walk through this season of life and see flowers reminding us of resurrection, let’s remember: you are planted with purpose. Your bloom matters. And the beauty God brings from your life will reach far beyond what you can see right now.

PRAYER

Dear God please remind us to bloom and share our shade with those around us. Help us to understand why we are rooted where we are. Help us to be viable and fruitful

Thought for the day
                                                        
God picked us to be seeds not just for our family but for everyone we meet and impact, remember to take a minute and smell the flowers around

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
