...a SON or a SERVANT

   When a man is wealthy he tends to have many people around to help in the taking care of the house while he is focus on the job that gives them their salary. Eventually he gets married and gave birth to a boy.
   The little boy of course is the heir to the man, yet he will be restricted to some things just like the people that works in the house. Yes, he is the man's son and a junior boss in that house. Yet in the sight of his father he's not different from the house workers.
   A son isn't different from a servant, though he's the heir, they are equal as long as he's still a child (Galatians 4:1). We are like that when we believe in the Lord and we become born again. We are like babies to Him, we can't do or understand much. But someone who is a servant would have understood the master and always do whatever he says.
   When the child becomes an adult, he would have understood his father and will be ready to take over his father's work. In this case, the servant's isn't of any use because the boy has grown to a man. He knows better than the servant and more important than who the servant is no matter the achievements.
   No matter how good you work for the Lord, but without you believing in Him, you are just a servant. So your services is irrelevant to Him, you just have to be a son by believing. As for the sons, you are of no use if you are still a child. Grow up and be like the Father. So check yourself and ask "AM I A SON OR A SERVANT? Find your way to the Lord if you are not a son by BELIEVING in Christ Jesus and OBEYING HIS COMMANDMENTS. PEACE!!!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
