ADOPTION- Purpose and Performance
Having understood who you are in Christ Jesus and the rights and privileges that you have in him, the next step of discovery is purpose and performance. It is important to note that a child doesn’t get to choose the family he becomes born or adopted into. He just finds himself in that family. While […]
ADOPTION– Sons and Daughters of God
Adoption involves the creation of the parent-child relationship between individuals who are not naturally so related. The adopted child is given the rights, privileges, and duties of a child and heir by the adoptive family. According to Black’s law dictionary, it is “the statutory process of terminating a child’s legal rights and duties towards the […]
ADOPTION- Privileges and Rights
In the previous part, we defined what adoption means. We also established that we have been born into a family. Today, we are going to look at the implication of being a part of this family. That is, what manner of man have you become or are you to become having been adopted into the […]
Dads and Husbands (The Final Episode)
I took a break from this series because some things happened with my mind that required attention. In that episode, I learnt that the way to grow is by “forgetting what lies behind so I can move forward”. The decision to move forward is because of who I am and where I am headed. My […]
Dads and Husbands (Part 5)
At a point in my life, I said to the Lord and myself that I would never be disadvantaged by what I had no control over. This resolution helps my mind in many ways. First, it helps me not to give control of my life to anyone but God. People can be people, life can […]
Dads and husbands (Part 4) – Fathers
For some, Fathers have been a blessing while for others, it is the exact opposite. However, in whatever category we find ourselves, does that take away who a Father is, should be or can be? I do not think so. I remember an example that was very instructive for me some years back as an […]
Dads and Husbands (Part 3)- The Mind of Christ
Of everything God is, one attribute is at the core and centre of His personality and that is, Love. God is Love. Love never gives up. This is because the unconditional love of God is not dependent on the recipient but on Him the giver and very source of Life. We see that God, notwithstanding […]
Dads and Husbands (Part 2) – The Beginning
To understand much, I think it is important we go back to the beginning and examine how it all started. In the beginning, as recorded in Genesis Chapter 1, God created man in his own image; male and female he created them ( Genesis 1:27; Genesis 5:2). So you see from the beginning, God created […]
Dads and Husbands ( Part 1)
Each time I pick a pen to write on this series, I feel so incompetent. I feel like, maybe I should hold on a few more years before I can write about this. But then, deep within, I know I should write on this, for He has made us able ministers of the new testament […]
When Waiting Seems Endless
Have you ever been to a restaurant and you were told the food will be ready in thirty minutes? How did you feel? Especially if you were very hungry and you walked into that restaurant because you felt you would get a prepared meal instead of going home to start one from scratch? I’m sure […]
