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. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
