--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

Understanding your heavenly Father (2)

15 October 2018
‘As parents feel for their children, GOD feels for [you].’
Psalm 103:13 MSG
 
To see God as a loving Father may not come easily, if you carry the scars of a neglected or abusive childhood. Perhaps you had so many unmet needs growing up: affection, security, trust, comfort, material necessities, etc., and your lack of these things makes it hard to believe God will provide for your needs now.


What to do? Recognise that your ‘father-image’ is flawed and in no way resembles your heavenly Father. Even the best earthly father can’t measure up to Him. He wants you to approach Him as a caring, sensitive, generous, dependable, loving Father. That’s why Jesus taught us to call Him ‘Our Father’, not just ‘Almighty God and Lord’. Like a good father, God understands your needs and makes full provision for them (see Matthew 6:25-34).

And just as a good parent recognises the unique characteristics of each of his children, He knows your distinctive personality, gifts, thoughts, and feelings. ‘As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him. He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we’re made of mud’ (Psalm 103:13-14 MSG).

God’s care is tailor-made to your specific gifts – and weaknesses. And like a loving father, He accepts and fulfils His responsibility to provide for you. So what’s your role in the relationship? To act like the child of a trustworthy, generous, permanently-loving Father!
