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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
