Father's Day Special : Who is your Real Father!


Who is your Real Father?
   
     Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness. Hebrews 12:9,10

      As much as we are concerned, we are the Children of God by Christ Jesus, Hallelujah!  So this is the time to understand or unveil Who is our real Father ! I don’t mean to degrade our Biological fathers here on Earth, they are our fathers and God’s agents to brought us into this world, but not fully.  Jesus taught us how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13, The Very first words is “Our Father Who Art in Heaven”. But sad to say that God is a Father just for those who Believes in Christ Jesus! Because the Bible says which are not in Jesus are children of Devil or Satan! 
  
       People Celebrate Father’s Day throughout the World without recognizing Who is their Real Father or Who made them to Become a human being, even among the Believers in Jesus Christ. In Jeremiah 1:5, God said to prophet Jeremiah “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” God choose Jeremiah to become a Prophet, so are we chosen by God Our Father to be someone in this World and to Glorify His Mighty and Holy Name!
     
     We see that the writer of the book of Hebrews recognized God as the Real Father shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”  12:9, he says Father of spirits, it simply imply that God is the Source, the Originator or the Creator of all spirits which includes Angels, Demons and Human Spirits. I like the word “shall we not rather be in subjection” to God and not to our Biological fathers. I mean the Most Obedience must be given to God in a contradiction to our Human Fathers, if it is to choose between God and Human.
   
       Let’s go to the Beginning to understand the relation of God and Men, Genesis 1:27 “God created man in his own image. God made man who is composed of Spirit, Soul and Body he is called Adam which means “Earth, Red Clay” because he was taken out of the Dust. God is the Father and He wants to have fellowship with Adam, God did  but it’s not very long time I believe, after Eve came they were tempted by Satan and lost the Father and son relationship. In Luke 3:38   we see that “Adam, which was the son of God.but that was lost because of Sin, till Jesus, God in Flesh (John 1:14) came and redeemed us from sin, satan and hell. And through Him we are restored our rights to become sons of God (John 1:12,13) and by His Spirit we can call GodAbba, Father  Gal 4:6.  John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.God loves us and send His Only Brgotten Son to save His lost sons, that is Father’s love! Glory to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit !
       
      The writer of Hebrews also said in 12:10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.God only thinks our benefit or profit, He doesn’t want anything from us, rather He wants to give everything if we obey Him. Not like the human fathers, sometime human fathers made mistakes but God our Father never make mistake ! Amen. We don’t need to degrade our human father but give more attention to God. I remember what Jesus said in Matthew 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. To Love God with all our heart, soul and mind, this is it ! that simply mean Love your Heavenly Father more than your earthly father !
      
      Here is some of the encouragement I want to give, God is our Real father, but don’t need to despite our earthly fathers,  because if we despite them who can be seen it is the same that we are despising Our Heavenly Father too. Happy Father’s Day and May God bless you!

Ends of the Earth!



    
   But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1:8
   
    Jesus told us to go to the Ends of the Earth, Why? Because people needs to be saved before they die, frankly speaking. It not just enough to go to the Ends of the Earth, we must also go to the Ends of the Age, Matt 28:20. How? Teach the younger Generation about Jesus Christ, thus we would go the Ends of the Age as the Lord promised to be with us!  How we will do it? There are three simple things we must do if we want to go to the Ends of the Earth to Preach Gospel!                                                                         

1. Be Strong (Ephesians 6:10-18)
  
    We must be Strong in the Lord and in the Power of His Might, Eph 6:10. There are many supernatural beings working in this world, in the unseen spiritual realm.  Which are demonic forces operating in the air, Eph 6:12 and controlling the children of disobedience, Eph 2:2. We must put on the Whole Armor of God, Eph 6:11. We know what are the Armor of God, 1. Belt of Truth, 2. Breastplate of Righteousness, 3. Shoe of the Gospel, 4. Shield of Faith, 5.Helmet of Salvation, 6.Sword of the Spirit or the Word of God. Without the Armor a soldier in the Ancient World esp; the Romans wouldn’t go to war, so likewise we as the soldiers of Christ must have the Armor of God in our Lives!

2. Be Filled (Ephesians 5:18)
   
   But be filled with the Spirit, Eph 5:18. One of the most important thing if we want to go to the Ends of the Earth! Filling in Holy Spirit means totally covered with the Spirit of God and His Anointing, so no one touches you except God allowed. Filling in the Spirit also mean Clothed with the Spirit, Col 3:12. Because we already had the indwelling Spirit of God, and our spirit being made alive by God, we still need to be filled with Holy Spirit to received Power when the Holy Spirit comes upon us, Acts 1:8. By the Presence and Power of the Holy Spirit we will do Greater things. It is not by Might nor by Power but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts, Zechariah 4:6b.

3. Be Fruitful (Galatians 5:22-23)
   
    The Fruit of the Spirit are mentioned in Gal 5:22-23, these are the Spirit’s Fruit for every Born-again Believers, so we must have it! What are those? Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Meekness, Temperance or Self-control. Spirit’s Fruit doesn’t come easily we must Grow it ourselves it speaks of the Character of Jesus Christ which we all must have it!
    
     Finally, my brethren we got to know what is our calling, if we want to participate in the Extension of the Kingdom of God. So we will be going to the Ends of the Earth and Ends of the Age. May the Lord bless each and everyone of us!
