RESTORATION TODAY,

TOPIC: *GOD IS YOUR FATHER [1]*
"And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."
2 Corinthians 6:18.
*MESSAGE*
One of the beautiful dimensions of God's grace that every believer must enjoy maximally is the grace to partake permanently and perpetually in the Fatherhood of God. He has promised to always be with us and to never leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5-6).
Why is this important? Our Lord Jesus Christ predicted that a time is coming when lawlessness will abound on the earth (Matthew 24:6-12). It seems that we are now living in those days. Many who used to be vibrant Christians are turning away from the faith. Many parents are finding it difficult to pass on the baton of faith to their children. Many are running helter skelter to survive. The obligations and demands of day-to-day living has caused many to keep running from pillar to post. And as Jesus rightly predicted, the love of many is growing cold!
The problem is not that times are hard. The real issue is that many followers of Jesus had lost touch with the reality of their sonship status! What we got when we embraced the free gift of salvation accomplished by the blood of Jesus 2,000 years ago is not just an entry ticket to make heaven as many often think of it to be. In reality, it is an invitation into a new family where God Himself is our father—an ever-present Father! When we start seeing God like this, it will change everything about how we relate with Him.
*ACTION POINT*
?️ Do you see God as a Father? As you pray to him today, talk to Him as though you are talking to your Father—because that's who He is.
*SCRIPTURES*
Hebrews 13:5-6; Matthew 24:6-12.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, thank You for Your fatherhood over me;
2. O Lord, help me to continually remember that I have you as a Father in the name of Jesus;
3. O Lord, grant me the power to always overcome the powers of my enemies.
*THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR*
