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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
