LET'S LEARN: FATHERHOOD OF GOD
Jesus started one of His discipleship classes with two questions; "who do men say I am?" and "who do you say I am?" not because He was confused about His Identity but because He wanted to know what has actually limited God's agenda.
Immediately Peter caught the revelation, Jesus screamed, "we are building on this!!!"
Hear this!
Your relationship with God is proportional to your perception of God. People see God as many things and that He becomes to them. See God as Jireh and see Him provide, See Him as Ebenezar and see His hand willing to help.
That's why He told Moses "I AM".
This morning I wish to bring to your awareness the revelation of God called ABBA, "THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD"
God is your father and loves you all conditionally and unconditionally even more than you love yourself. Nobody understands you as God.
God is not man. He is infinitely good at all times.
The son was called prodigal because he went far from the father but the father was never prodigal because despite the distance of the child, he was always close to him in his heart little wonder he was always on the watch for him.
Kai!
The Fatherhood of God.
He is the Compassionate Father, the One who picks up broken hearts, wipes away tears and lifts up the lowly. He is not intimidated by your trauma, your past, your frailty, your diagnosis or your insecurities. He will never cut off the wounded or quench the flickering flame.
He is Abba.
To enjoy the Fatherhood of God you must go through the humble process of becoming His child, see God as father and watch him become.
The Father is ready and waiting with open arms. You can start where you are with God; in complete vulnerability, in the middle of loss, in the face of great disappointment and in seasons of darkness.
The Spirit says "come".
The Bridegroom says "you are accepted here".
The Father says "the price has already been paid".
So run in childlike faith into the bossom of the Father in the similitude of the prodigal son and watch the father embrace you in love.
