TOPIC: WE ARE THE ADOPTED SONS AFTER JESUS THE BEGOTTEN SON
TEXT: 1 John 5:10-13
Key verse: John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Many people misunderstand this term or the description given to Jesus as the Son of God. Some reject Him because of this title. The Islamic religion in particular contend against this title saying God cannot have a Son. This has been an obstacle on the way of many because without believing this eternal truth, they cannot believe in Jesus and be saved. Even among the Christians, many are still confused about this title but you need to understand clearly that while it is affirmed that we have one God, Jesus being the Son of God does not mean Jesus Himself is not God.
When the title “Son of God” is used with respect to Jesus, it does not connote the same meaning as children being born by human parents or by a man impregnating his wife. This title specifically refers to one born, not by the will of man, but by the will of God. It is equally used of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ (John 1:12-13). Not born through copulation or sexual union between a man and a woman. Rather, they were people God fashioned and bought for Himself. Therefore, everyone that believes in Christ is an adopted son of God. Our sonship is adoption, which is quite unlike the status of Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son of God.
“Adopted” means our father was not originally God. You had a father, Satan, who was chief sinner. Through his corruptive influence, sin entered your life. That was why you were a sinner. But when you believed in Christ, God by His mercy adopted you as His son. You received the Spirit of adoption giving you right to this one Father. Now, you can call on the true God and serve Him. But, if you don’t continue with Him in truth, righteousness and holiness, you will go back to your original father, Satan. You had a father but God chose to pick you. If you fail to continue to comply with the conditions for your adoption, God will release you back to Satan.
Thought for the day: Everyone that believes in Christ is an adopted son of God
Song for the day: I have a Father, Almighty Father….
Bible reading for the day: 2 Chronicles 34-36; John 19:1-22

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...

Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2)

God's blessings will continually accompany you for dedicating time to your studies. Pastor Paul Rika’s Burden, Vision and Action To Reach the Unreached (2) Wednesday 15th October TEXT: Titus 3: 3-6   Key verse: Titus 3: 6 “Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior.” I remember I was in Sao Tome and Principe as a deeper life national overseer and I was writing the book, “Divine Revelation of God’s Holiness and Judgment.” The vision the Lord gave to Michael Sambo. I was translating it into a book, with the scriptural backups to make it a sound evangelistic book. I saw that truly the world is doomed. What will I say about those who have not known Jesus among the 7 billion people on earth; those who do not even have anything to do with Him? Do I speak of the billions in Asia without understanding of Jesus? Out of the 1.4 billion in India, they are struggling to record 150 million Christians including Catholics.  Who knows Jesus then? Even among Pentecosta...
