HERITAGE

Text : Psalms 127:3 

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

"Lo!" is an exclamatory word, it is an attention-getting word. So when the bible says 'Lo!' it's calling you to pay attention to what God has to say.

Lo! children are an heritage of the Lord. Explicitly, this shows that children belong to God and He gives them as He wills.

James 1:17 says  Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

Children are good gifts from God, and as a good Father He knows how and when to give this good gift to His children. Matthew 7:11.

He said in His words that none shall be barren in His house. (Exodus 23:26). So if you seem to have a delay, know that you are not barren, you are only a waiting Father or mother. 

Listen to His words concerning you, dear waiting Father and mother, *For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.* (Habakkuk  2:3).

The few people that were mentioned to have delay in the Bible, we later discovered that God wanted them to carry children with special assignments for Him.

Sarah waited to carry Isaac; Rebecca waited to carry Jacob and Esau; Hannah waited to carry Samuel; Elizabeth waited so she can carry John the baptist. 
If you are a waiting mother, rejoice and know that your womb is being prepared to carry a special heritage of God.

The reason many are failing in their parental roles today is because they are oblivious of the fact that they are privileged to cater for God's heritage, hence, they mishandled it.

That child in your care, whether biological or not is God's heritage; ensure you nurture him or her with love and in accordance with owner's (God) specification. 
 
 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1.) Father, help me to nurture your heritage with love and Godly wisdom. 

Bible Reading: Psalms 127:1-5.

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...
