GOD'S FATHERSHIP.

     Fathership is the state of being the source of something. We've heard of titles given to people for being the one who started, created, or brought to life something. Our male parents are called fathers because they are part of our production. More than bringing forth, thee nurturing and development of the product is important to the source.
     God is the prototype of everything seen and unseen. That's why those who are called His children are people of faith. Faith is defined as the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen(Hebrews 11:1). Only this virtue can please God and move him to do something great.
   He's the FATHER of all fathers. No matter how great the invention of a person, it can't be as wonderful as creation. Before a father, there was a father and before anyone can be called a father, God had been the Father of all. His creation has been in existence for millions of years and everything he created has the ability to procreate.
    He's the fountain of all creation. He made all things and sustained them by His word( Hebrews 1:3). As the Father of all, He made man His favorite because He made Him after His likeness. In the gospel of Luke, when he was stating the genealogy of Jesus Christ, on getting to Adam the first man, he called him the son of God which made Him the first Father ( Luke 3:38).
    The truth about God's fathership was fully stated when our Lord Jesus Christ was teaching His disciples how to pray. The first phase of the Lord's prayer is " our FATHER who hath in Heaven"( Matthew 6:9), settling the fact that the God we pray to is our father and we can rest assured he will answer our prayers (Matthew 7:11).
   The only reason why anyone would not see God as his/her father is because he/she is faithless. God's love made grace available to us all through the death of His only begotten Son, but an individual's faith in His son makes grace sufficient to the person( Romans 5:2). Through our faith, we are made children by His Love (1John 3:1). This is the reason the world doesn't know us because it doesn't know our Heavenly Father, how can it know the children?
    The state of being a child requires our faith and the gift of the father in us which is the holy spirit ( the spirit of adoption) that helps to cry Abba Father (Galatians 4:6). It isn't by works, but grace. So that no man will boost. We must believe strongly in the Lord that he knows our needs, He wants us to ask Him to receive our desires on a legal ground. The state of God being a Father is due to His love, grace, and Spirit He gave us. God bless His children. Amen! SHALOM!!!

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...
