TOPIC: Who Is Not A Child?

John 1:12 ‬
But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:

*Message*

Let's read Psalms 127:3-5 - ‬

"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. [4] Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. [5] Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; They shall not be ashamed, But shall speak with their enemies in the gate."

It is the pride of every reasonable person to have sons and daughters (whether biological or adopted) that can carry on with the mandate of their agenda, and God is not exempted. The LORD also continually craves to have sons and daughters that can further His purposes on earth.

*As the world celebrates the annual Children's Day, we should always remember that we all came out from God and He is our Source and Father. Before you could have an earthly parent, God already destined you to be one of His attested children on earth. Incredibly, while the parenthood of your earthly persons is only temporal, the Fatherhood of God over you is meant to be eternal.*

Scripture made us realize that there are legitimate children and illegitimate ones. God wants you to be part of the cadre of His bona-fide children whom He knows by name. This can only be made possible when you earn the right to become His son/daughter through faith in Christ Jesus.

*Prayers*

Pray for the well-being of every child in the world.

‭
Hebrews 12:7-8‬
[7] If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? [8] But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.
