Fatherhood of God (2) The Truth and The Lie

“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” John 8:44

We are children of God and we enjoy His fatherhood because we believe the truth of His word and reject the lies of the devil.

God created everyone but unfortunately many people are not His children today. We became children of God through receiving the spirit of adoption (Rom 8:15) by believing Jesus who is the word of God and the Truth (John 1:12, 14). Adam and Eve chose to believe the lies of the devil and lost the relationship with God (Gen 3); Jesus called the Jew at that time children of the devil because they believe the lies of the devil and they do it.

Beloved, as children of God, it is our responsibility to continuously seek the truth of God’s word, believe it and walk in it for us to enjoy the blessing of His fatherhood at all times. No matter what you are passing through, devil or your circumstances do not have the final say, never accept or believe their lies. God has the final say, and if you believe and act on His word, you will have victory.

Remain lifted.

The fatherhood of God (1)- Breaking the bondage of fear

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.” Romans 8:15

Fear is a product of the spirit of bondage but the presence of a trusted father will break fear at all times.

When I was growing up, there was this spot in our area which was very dark in the night. Whenever I had to pass through this spot, I would run for fear of possible attack from something or somebody. But I remembered one day that I had to pass through the same spot at very late hour with my father by my side. I confidently walked not fearing anything because I believed that my father could handle whatever appeared against us in the dark spot.

Beloved, our heavenly father is a tested and proved father whom you can trust in all situations. Are you in the dark hour of your life? Cry unto him as a father. The presence of this trusted father can handle any challenge that the enemy may throw at you.

Have a great day.
