PARENTING

Text :  Psalms  127:3

Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

When you think about normal children, the first thing that readily comes to mind is a child that appears physically and mentally healthy. Well, this definition can suffice in an academic or medical parlance, but not in the Spirit realm. 

A normal child is one that is whole spirit, soul and body. And this can only come about with the aid of Godly parenting.

God expects His children to raise goodly children for Him. This is one of the reasons He said you should not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever. (2 Corinthians 6:14).

When a believer joins himself/herself in marriage with an unbeliever,  he/she has joined himself with a wrong spirit. 

 *Essentially, everyone is controlled by a Spirit.  A child of God is controlled by the Spirit of God, if you are not His child, you are controlled by the evil Spirit.*  

Romans 8:14 says *For all who are led by God’s Spirit are God’s children.*  So, when a child of God goes into Union with a non-child of God , he/she automatically accepts the devil to co-parent their children for them.

The only caveat to this is, when the two (man and wife) both got married as unbelievers, then if along the line, one of them got converted. 

The new believer shouldn't separate from his/her partner except if the partner wants out. This is well stipulated in the word of God. 

For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified because of his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified because of her husband. Otherwise, your children would be unclean, but now they are holy (1 Corinthians 7:14).

God knows the importance of parenting, that's why He ensures that no child jumps down from heaven, they all have to come through a father and a mother.

Once, the parents failed to perform their duty, the child will not be balanced in life except through divine intervention. This explains why we have many wounded and internally abnormal children today.

However, there's no child so damaged that God cannot heal. He is a Father that cares for His children even when the child does not deserve it. 

He is still in the business of changing abnormalities to normal. Go to Him today and He will see you through. 


 *Bible  Reading :Psalms 127:1-5.

1.) Father God, I bring my life to you today, please, guide me in the path of life.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
