ADOPTION OF CHILDREN

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: ADOPTION OF CHILDREN

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 10th

TEXT: Romans 8:15-17; Ephesians 1:5 
Key verse: But as many as receive Him, to them gave He power to become sons of God, even to them that believe in his name. John 1:12
Adoption means to accept or claim ownership or parenthood of a child that is not directly one’s biological child. This makes the child enjoy the benefit of parenthood throughout his/her life. He/she is your child and heir as any of your children. Adoption is good and acceptable in the sight of God. We were not children of God, but He made us become part of His family not through the natural process of human conception, but through adoption. Bringing a person into a family using adoption is done by choice and out of love.
Our Lord Jesus was adopted by Joseph, His mother’s husband, who took Him as his child. God chose that His Son should be adopted. If adoption was good enough for the Son of God, then it is a blessing for His people. Moses, a great prophet of God, whom God used to bring out His people from Egypt was adopted by Pharaoh's daughter. God used Esther to deliver His people; she was adopted by her uncle Mordecai. Also, Samuel who judged and led God’s people to worship Him was fostered by Eli.
Adoption is a blessed practice because it is a biblical principle by which we became children of God (Ephesians 1:5); God fulfills His promise of giving children to the barren, Psalms 113:9, “He maketh the barren women to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD”. By it, God shows compassion to the fatherless on earth. Also, it is a soul-winning strategy when the adopting parents are believers, it also fulfills the definition of religion (James 1: 27). Furthermore, it is victory in spiritual warfare against the devil, whose aim is to steal, kill, and destroy people who are childless by making them restless.

Thought for the day: Adoption into the family should be done willingly and out of love.

Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father. We are joint heirs with the Son...

Bible reading for the day: Lamentations 1-2; Hebrews 7

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
