TEXT: 2 Corinthians 6:18.

 *“I will be your Father, and you will be my sons and daughters,” declares the Lord Almighty.* 

God is sovereign over all creation. He is the Creator of all things and the Lord of the universe, but He is not a Father to everyone. 

The fatherhood of God is a privileged relationship that is established through spiritual birth (John 1:12–13) that is through adoption (Romans 8:15).

Just as in the natural, fatherhood is not only about identity but also about responsibility. A true father cares, provides, protects, instructs, and disciplines his children and God perfectly fits in in all these roles.

The Scripture assures us that God is a responsible and faithful Father:
He provides for His children (Matthew 6:31-32).
He protects and watches over them (Psalm 121:5-7).
He shows compassion toward them (Psalm 103:13).
He corrects and disciplines them in love (Hebrews 12:6-7).

Unlike earthly fathers who may fail, God never fails in His responsibility. He is constant, dependable, faithful and perfect in His dealings with His children.
However, just as fathers have responsibilities, children also have obligations. One of the greatest responsibilities of a child is *honor*.

The Bible clearly states:
“A son honors his father…” (Malachi 1:6).
Know that honor is expressed through reverence, obedience, love, and submission. As a child of God, are you 
Honoring Him with your life and decisions? (Proverbs 3:9).

Are you obeying His Word? (John 14:15).
Are you living in a way that reflects His nature? (1 Peter 1:14–16).
And do you submit to His discipline and guidance? (Hebrews 12:9).

When a child refuses to honor the father, it disrupts the relationship and limits the experience of the father’s blessings. In the same way, *many believers claim God as Father but fail to live in honor and obedience to Him.* 

True sonship is not just by confession, it is revealed in conduct.
Therefore, if God is truly your Father, there must be visible evidence in your life: a heart of obedience, a lifestyle of honor, and a continual growth into spiritual maturity.

Let us not only enjoy the privileges of sonship but also embrace its responsibilities.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, I receive the grace to submit to your will and to reverence you with my life always in Jesus name.

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...
