Father's Love

The position of a father means that the personality has a child. It might not necessarily mean a biological one, some are adopted, and some are children to a father by the virtue of learning one thing or the other. It doesn't matter where what makes a person a child, the fact that the person has impacted a part of himself and it's yielding results, he is a father.

I won't want to add to the countless definition given to love, but Father's love simply means a strong affection from a man to his children. This kind of love helps a child to be encouraged, appreciated, and chastised (when necessary) Proverbs 3:12. The father's love is a rare one. Not everyone has the privilege to be close to his/her father, but the ones that experience love from a Father are happy and strong.

So why is this important? It is because not everyone understands or has experienced this kind of love. And though we might not have the privilege to be loved in this way with our earthly references, I'm here to introduce the personality of someone who is the Father at all times. He's LOVE Himself and He expresses His fatherly love every time. He the FATHER of all fathers. The Everlasting Father - Christ Jesus.

  I have a few things to say about Him. He needed a standard, He made Himself the standard. HE IS GOD! What a majestic figure! We have nothing to deserve Him, yet he made himself available for everyone. Ready to love, impact, examine, encourage, and chastise. What a FATHER! The one that saves also helps out in a time of depressions, discouragements, and when we need someone to lean on.

What and who can separate one from this love? (Romans 8:35) No matter how bad and strong it is, we are even more than conquerors because of this Father. The Father's love experience is boundless and all it requires from our part is our FAITH in His ability to do and give good things.

The Lord loves you, even in your down casted moments when no one is around to lean on, He's got you and won't let go of you for a second. At your most sinful, He is most merciful. You are redeemed by His love. The world might hate you, but know that you are a child of the Most High God(1 John 3:1). Just believe and He'll come through for you.

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...
