Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the [children] of God . . .
—1 John 3:1

As God’s children, we are His dependents. The Bible says, “Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him.” Dependent children spend little time worrying about meals, clothing, and shelter. They assume, and they have a right to, that all will be provided by their parents. Because God is responsible for our welfare, we are told to cast all our care upon Him, for He careth for us.

Because we are dependent upon God, Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled.” God says, “I’ll take care of the burden—don’t give it a thought—leave it to me.” Dependent children are not backward about asking for favors. They would not be normal if they did not boldly make their needs known. God is keenly aware that we are dependent upon Him for life’s necessities. It was for that reason that He said, “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

Prayer for the day
How magnificent, almighty Father, that I, dependently, can rely on You to take the burden of my heart!

Sir Billy Graham

The only people who are God's children are those who are born-again — born of Water AND born of Spirit — and have through continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ have come to know the Truth and are set free by the Truth(Spirit of Truth) of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44. This is what Jesus Christ Himself said of those who are children of God. Any interpretation that differs in the slightest from what Jesus Christ Himself decreed is a lie!

No! You shouldn't be dependent on GOD&THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. You had since been given independent as satan would wanted it &or had it... That's why you are now becoming superintendent... You are superindependent...! Nigerians has become independent since how many years now? When did Nigeria/Nigerians got independent? You are still dependent on GOD&THE LORD JESUS CHRIST? When would you get independent? You are such an independent superintendent? No! You are a dependent superintendent!
