Day 1
Reading: Gen. 1:1-3:24
Today marks a new beginning. As the sounds of happy new year filled the atmosphere, thanksgiving arose within my lips to say thank you for allowing me to see this new season. This year by God's grace I will blog my devotional notes. I am not seeking to give new revelations. I just want to encourage people to read the bible on a daily basis from my notes.

Many times we are amazed at the story of Creation. Genesis is filled with beginnings and principles that show God's order. As I read Genesis 1 I got struck by the times God spoke then God made. Not only is God a God of the plan, however, He executes His plan with attention to detail. He not only decreed and declared creation, God also made creation. God is interested in the process. This year understand somethings will happen without any outside aid, however, also know that the process of making into the prophetic word is part of God's manifestation strategy.
Notice that when it came to mankind God first had a conference. We are introduced to not only the beginning of the ages in God's design but also God's desire for man to walk with Him. When God made mankind He not only spoke, He made and breathed into him and blessed mankind. I carry the breath of God as a child of God.
Sin entered the world voluntarily. No one forced Adam and Eve to sin. They sinned because they were enticed. Sin brought shame to Adam and Eve. Walk carefully knowing the enemy seeks to entice you away from the Garden of Eden God has planted you in. The enemy will seek to distort the truth revealed. Certain conversations I have entertained can no longer be accepted as they are doorways for satanic enticements. Be careful the conversations either internally and externally, that they are not causing you to doubt the veracity and efficacious nature of the Word of God.
Sin may have entered the world but it cannot stop God. When God made man and woman He blessed them. To bless is simply to empower to prosper. Sin simply brought an obstacle to the manifestation of the blessing. God in providing the skins illustrated the power of the blood to cover sin. Only God can cover our shame. God never removed the blessing even when Adam and Eve left the garden. This doesn't mean that we can do whatever we want as the blessing will work. No, sin removes you from fellowship with the Source of Blessing.
As I close I want to challenge you. God is the God of beginnings. He is the Beginning. Don't allow any beginning in your life to happen without the Beginner of all beginnings. Begin every day with Him. Begin the day with the Word and Prayer. Let the Beginner of all be in your beginning.

Memory verse: Gen 2:7
Decree:
I am blessed of God. I decree that I am empowered to increase, to be fruitful in the body and produce of work; empowered to multiply, to subdue the earth and have dominion. As this year begins I decree and declare that I am blessed and will see the blessing of God work for me. I invite the God of Beginnings to begin with me this year, season and be in all that concerns me. Let today herald a new beginning in Jesus name. Amen
