Showing posts with the label The Father

Showing Up

From my previous posts , we understand that we are on a journey and we need a lot of things as we go on in the way. This brought me to an important point that I believe is valuable in forming the basis of our defense for the Kingdom and the Father—Loyalty. A dog is said to be the most loyal animal to Man. In the sense that it will always show up for its owner any day or time. We are not dogs, but the figure of speech is needed for the message of this post. Being loyal is a state of having or demonstrating undivided and constant support for someone or something. It can also be a firm allegiance to a person or institution. It is a display of faithfulness to a person or cause. Judging by the standards of this definition—God has been faithful. He's got our backs at awkward moments and saved us from troubles, time and time again. He trusts and believes in us so much that He could entrust us with His Spirit—we've not earned or deserved it. We know God is faithful to us! B...

Poor in Spirit

Can you imagine when a boy who can't even feed himself without his parents, decides to stand alone because he thinks he's got all it takes to become the head of a family? You know he has set himself up for troubles.  When the devil thought that he can set his throne above God's, he found himself in far below expectations. Can you imagine what and how a creation can do and live without the creator? Miserable is an understatement. As much as an invention is dependent on the manufacturer. So is everything made by God is structured to survive in Him. God is LIFE and only Him can supply it, anything outside Him is DEATH!!!  I know we must have come across the scriptural verse that talked about "poor in spirit"-(Matthew 5:3). This is the genetic makeup of man. Finding sources outside of God will cause the person to be miserable.  There are times when we feel we've tried all we can to have a thing and we find ourselves at the end of the road and it l...

Possessing or positioning

The condition of having or owning something is called a possession. When a man buys, got, or steal something, so far it has changed hands from one person to the other (whether legal or illegal), wherever that thing is found is a possession to whoever claims it. Position on the other hand is a place where someone or something should be. " Should " in the definition shows that its an expected place. People have been finding a way to fit in so many places, but just because you fit somewhere doesn't mean that it is your place. Finding your place has to do with who you are first. In the process of knowing who you are, you will get to know what you are meant to do and where you are supposed to be. When you understand who you are, then you can take your place and have what you want. We have confused positioning to possessing things. They are two different things as defined above but could be related. When the positioning is right, the possession is given....

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 refere...
