ADOPTION OF CHILDREN SATURDAY JANUARY 28 TEXT: ROMANS 8: 15-17 Key Verse: "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father" (Romans 8: 15) Adoption means to accept or claim ownership or parenthood of a child that is not directly your biological child and make the child enjoy the benefits of parenthood through out his life. Adoption is good and acceptable in the sight of God. We were not children of God but He made us to become part of His family, not through the natural process of human conception, but through adoption. God's only begotten son is Jesus Christ, but because we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour, God is now pleased with us to make us become the sons of God. We were not children but God has made us children and Jesus is not ashamed to call us his brethren. And God has put His Spirit in us, the same Spirit that was in Christ is now in us, the Spirit of sonship, that cries Abba Father. God called the nation Israel His son, whom he loved. God Himself determined the adoption of believers as children of God. This adoption is not the result of any work or merit of the believers, but solely on God's love and grace. Bringing a person into a family by means of adoption is done by choice and out of love. Note that our Lord Jesus Christ was adopted and raised by Joseph, his mother's husband, who took Him as his own son. God chose His son to be adopted. If adoption was good enough for the son of God, then it is a blessing for God's people. Moses a great prophet of God, who God used to deliver His people from captivity, was adopted and brought up by Pharaoh's daughter, who took him as her son, and named him Moses. Samuel, another great prophet of God who judged Israel, was adopted by Eli the high priest. Esther, who God used to deliver Israel, was adopted by Mordecai. Adoption is a biblical principle by which we become children of God. It is one of the ways God fulfills His promises of giving children to the barren (Ps 113:9). Finally, it is part of the ways God shows compassion to the fatherless on earth. Thought for the day: Adoption is a biblical principle by which we become children of God Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father we are joint-heirs with the Son..... Bible reading for the day: Exodus 16-18 Matthew 19:16-30 #horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

VIRTUOUS WOMEN FOR END TIME REVIVAL SATURDAY APRIL 29 TEXT: John 4: 39-42 Key Verse: “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” Ruth 1: 16 When the Lord shall come He shall gather the wheat but the tares shall be cut down and cast into the lake of fire, God is looking for some wheat to use.
