God’s not finished with you yet 

‘For God has appointed another seed for me.’ Genesis 4:25 NKJV 

Satan’s goal was to infect Adam before his first son was born – that way he could contaminate all the rest of us. And it almost worked! Cain, his firstborn, murdered his brother Abel. But God wasn’t finished with Adam yet. Listen: ‘Adam knew his wife again, and she bore a son and named him Seth, “For God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel, whom Cain killed”’ (Genesis 4:25 NKJV). How wonderful! For everything you’ve loved and lost, God has another seed. For everything that has died or been stolen from you, God has another seed. You see, your seed is your future and God has another one for you to birth. He has another miracle for you to hold. Where you are right now is not where you’re going. The devil knew God had a plan for you; that’s why he worked so hard to wipe you out. He didn’t want you to live long enough to receive what God had in mind. But he failed, didn’t he? The very fact that you’re still here says that God’s not through with you yet. Start looking ahead – there’s something coming up on God’s calendar that’s got your name on it. ‘God hath appointed...’ There’s something good just over the horizon; something good for your life...your marriage...your family...your career...your ministry. If you are not on your deathbed, then God still has an appointed task for you to finish. Get up! Get going! He’s called you with an eternal purpose! 

Prayer Point: 

Lord, it’s great to know that every day I live I create a legacy for the future. In my work, in my family, in my very existence there is the potential to bless someone. I know and recognise, Lord, that one day, all the grief of this life will be cast into the shadows, when heaven reveals its full nature and beauty. Praise Your wonderful name.
