Theme: Born of God 


Anchor Text: John 1:12-13
[12]But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[13]Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

The family to which a person is born into in most cases determines their social status. During the era when royalties and nobilities were really a thing, a person's house mattered a lot. The difference between the highborns (royalties and nobilities) and the lowborns (common folk) was quite clear. The birth of a prince is very much celebrated, whereas little or no one cares about the birth of a child from the common people.

The Almighty, the Creator of heaven and Earth and all that there is, is the Majesty other majesties look up to. His Kingdom is eternal and great beyond comprehension. He has a family with children that are His; who aren't princes but kings. And the difference between His children and other folks who aren't in His family is quite clear. 

Entry into becoming a son in the family of God is one that's quite easy yet still baffles a lot of people. You could liken it to an adoption process. You are accepted into His family when you receive His Only Begotten son: Jesus. Jesus is not the only son of God, but the Only Begotten One. The rest of us were adopted into the family thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus. So the rest of us can become sons of God with our very own titles. (I'm God's Special Son).

The normal adoption proces is that the now adopted son is given the family name and given all the rights and privileges of a legitimate son but he still retains the DNA and natural/physical traits from his original parents. The spiritual adoption into God's family is deeper.

When we are adopted into God's family, we are also given the family name as well as all the rights and privileges of being a son in God's family (and oh boy, what awesome rights and privileges they are). In addition, because it is not a physical birth, our spiritual DNA is altered completely. When we are born of God or born again like Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3, it is a spiritual process that involves a change of carnal (fleshy) nature and a putting on as well as infusing of spiritual nature. 

When you're born of God, a relationship is established that links and tethers you to the very nature of God. Unlike when a child is born in the natural where the umbilical cord has to be severed to give the child his own independent sustenance and existence separate from the mother; when you are born of God, a spiritual umbilical cord is developed which connects you to the eternal source of God the Father. That's why it's called 'Born of God' and not 'born from God. Because an everlasting connection is established on the day of your spiritual birth.

That's why John the beloved said: 'No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God.' (1 John 3:9 English Standard Version).
He went further to say: 'for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.' (1 John 5:4 New International Version) 

What he meant is because you're connected to God and He constantly infuses His very nature into you daily, it is impossible for you to live a life that practises sin.
In the second verse John meant that because this connection between you and the Father exists, the challenges and temptation of this world can't overcome you.

That's what being born of God is. It means you're a Highborn, you're Royalty and you can't act no more like the common folk who aren't part of this family that live in sin and are constantly defeated and overcome by this world. Say to yourself: 'I am born of God.'

If you'll like to be part of this family of Highborns, do say this prayer: 'Lord Jesus, I believe in the sacrifice of your death on the cross and I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Receive me into the family of the father in Jesus name.' (If you've said this prayer, feel free to contact me.)

Prayer: May God open your eyes to realize the truth about your sonship in Him in Jesus name.

Theme: My God: My Shepherd Anchor Text: Psalms 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. The 23rd Psalm is one of the most well known passages of the Bible. The description is so vivid and real that it is certain that the one who wrote this understood and must have an in-depth experience concerning that which he wrote. The 23rd Psalm is a psalm of assurance and it's opening verse sets that in motion immediately. David probably thought of himself as a shepherd leading those sheep through the mountains and finding pasture and water for them. Not to mention the times he had to fight beasts to keep them safe. He then thought of how God had led him through the years and all he could say was the Lord is my Shepherd. How often have you thought of God's guidance, provision and protection deeply for these are the functions of a Shepherd towards his sheep. He guides them, provides for them and protects them. The Lord is my Shepherd: I don't need to go worrying abo...

Theme: The Devil's Devices (Part 5)  Text: 2 Corinthians 2:11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. The second device used by the devil is DOUBT. Doubt is a powerful tool in the devil's arsenal that robs men of God's best I'll like us once again to look at Genesis. [1]NOW THE serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden? [2]And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden, [3]Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die. [4]But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die, [5]For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the differe...

Theme:   Your Inherent Power Level Defines Your Glory Level   Anchor Text:  Mark 13:26 King James Version And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. Glory is desired by most of us. We seek dignity, honour and even praise that is worthy of a successful life. Yet as believers we don't seek it the wrong way like others do. The anchor text says when Jesus returns He will be coming in both power and glory. Is there a relationship between this two amazing words and concept? If so how are they related? I'll try to explain it as best as I can... 1 Corinthians 15:41 says _ 'There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.' _ This means that the level of glory displayed be it Divine, human or even created things differ. Why is there such difference? Using stars to illustrate, we know that _ 'stars shine becaus...
