The fatherhood of God (1)


“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

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

“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.” Isaiah 43:2
“Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.” Isaiah 49:16

When I was growing up, there was this spot in our area where we lived that 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 a 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.

Fear is a product of the spirit of bondage but the presence of a trusted father will break fear at all times.
Prayer for today: Oh God manifest as my father in my present situation in Jesus name.
