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!!!

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...

Beyond the natural laws

    Laws are laid down principles to help people to walk in certain directions. It is structured, firm, and sometimes rigid. Laws are expected to always follow the same pattern and anyone found doing differently will be accused and penalized. The scribes and Pharisees were always angry at the ways and teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ because he wasn't doing the same as them yet have mind-blowing impacts better than theirs. He taught, people listened and yielded, but they force people to do it their own way (Mark 6:1-3).    They are ignorant that even though we have one big God, He is diverse in his ways and acts. No wonder people find it difficult to believe in the ways and characters of a child of God. It is a life led by the wind of God's Spirit because it's beyond the normal laws they believe in. Natural laws are principles generally accepted by people and passed down from one generation to another. We are Christians. We operate in the supernatural ...

Fear in the Process

There is an African proverb that says, "the demon you've known for a while is better than the angel you just met". As weird as this sounds, many people consciously or unconsciously act it out. This shows the hardness of people's hearts towards change. Change is constant, but it can be a very weird process and experience. The Israelites desired to go back to Egypt and continue the life of slavery and pain that they were used to than to be in the wilderness and uncertain of what the promised land looked like. Yours might not be as dramatic as the Exodus. It could be the Lord telling to you take steps about your finances by saving and sowing. Or leaving the life that is not accurate with the word and plan of God for your life. It could be for you to stop saying to yourself and others, "That's who I am and I can't change." Our change experiences are different. You know what the Lord is addressing in your life. And it may have raised questions of doubt li...
