God's Love for us is highly misunderstood.

We think it is because Jesus came to die for us but it isn't.

Jesus was a proof of works by his love. His love for us as a mother's love is simply because he made us in His own image and likeness so when He sees us He sees what He created.

Just as a mother would want her children to grow right the God would want us to grow well as we are made of Him but we sometimes choose our corruption.

God has set up structures that his children whom he loves will grow right but if otherwise judgement should prevail.

The original design of Parenthood and childhood is all around the parents being selfless, caring, accepting, nurturing, providing, discipline and being responsible while the child follows what has been laid before him/her confused at first but to follow and if what has been laid before him/her is good they grow well.

We are children of God meaning he is our spiritual parent.

To nurture us and groom us well the only thing we need to do is follow it might not be smooth but that is the bond between parents and children no matter what happens you know God is your sure parent not just to save but to guide that you come out better in our next chapter as we learnt from the last one.

Just in case you don't have earthly parenthood is not present God is still there for you. As the children let's submit ourselves for nurturing through prayers by the spirit, reading his word, listening to sound preachers and communicating with our parent (God).

He is the type of parent that nurtures us to death.

God loves you.

We thank God for he is

Then thank him for what he can give us

For Thanksgiving is not just songs

It is all we do for a living

It is Victory before the victory

Joy before the thing of joy

And a manifestation of the evidence of what is not seen but has come to pass

Thank you Lord

Help us to thank you more

When Jesus said "he who loses his life saves it and he who saves his life loses it" we all think only of persecution but it isn't only it. In times where persecution is not profound what do we really have to lose.

We have ourselves to lose in terms of personality. The holy ghost which is the person of God that works and walks with us here on earth, unlike the old testament he can't work with us the way we are. Under the new covenant he has to make us as God was while on earth (Jesus) meaning he has to work in us to work with us as to walk with us.

We lose our lives in terms of choices. We chose to sacrifice so we continue understanding all it is to our work and walk as heirs. Even after Abraham's prayer was answered his value of blessings need to be tested to know if he still values the source that provided it or has something replaced the value for the source.

We need to remember that we take up our salvation shamelessly even if it leads to our social life having a problem as some people are actually stereotyped for signifying with Christ even if your own Christian association has a problem with how deep you are going keep travailing. Even if it means that those dreams of owning a lot and going as far as you want to you pray about it and he tells you no keep staying. Sometimes to maintain our relationship with God we actually don't need much as too much can take us away from the goal which is heaven and with even the little we have we find it difficult to let go towards the will of God we would actually spend time measuring where our finances go than remembering the source it came from. We might need to sacrifice desires, Bible is not fun for some of us you would rather watch hundred Christian movies than Bible well that's nice but we need to let go of that desire and listening to the flesh to do things that grow our spirit.

Prayer is key. Not just request having actual communication with him by speaking to him, reading his word and listening to him. The still voice that repeats for confirmation. We need more of him to withstand the noise of this world for everything around us is temporary. Eternal life is peace.

This is a summary and more light to the main message

We know that God does not give us an instance bigger than our ability but we are to navigate through anything through Christ who strengthens us.

For everything season that we are in, we are to know God for the dimension of his that he is revealing so that In case that season comes again in another form we have no right to doubt him like David, he faced fierce enemies that are thought to be bigger than him which is the animals that tried to attack his sheeps in the bush so when it came to enemies that wanted to attack his nation he knew he should not doubt.

We can grow in his strength by building a relationship with God in sincerity withholding nothing. Not as if he doesn't know all about you but we still talk to him in all that we do that he may guide us into all truth.

Keep growing strong in spirit and in wisdom.

Hello readers, this is a question that has been asked regularly and some people say 'yes' because of how seasons are interpreted. The season when the situations become something that cannot be understood or the season is that season of change where you cannot transition into what God is doing at that moment and whatever is happening you just can't handle it while some people just have a very normal and good lives of no problems so they feel like nothing can go wrong.

Some other people say 'no' as Paul answered. The answer then is 'no' by 1Corinthians 10:13

"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

But, here's the thing when we often think of what we can bear we often think of our strength and what we know we can withstand where as our ability is the God centered reality of Philippians4:13 " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" meaning we are to grow from strength to strength in his strength that we will not be weary for his strength is what is made available for every thing we face that we may come out of it as the conquerors we are.

For as we are children of God and are growing in the spirit the legends in the Bible that had their works recorded from childhood were known to grow from strength to strength meaning the seasons we are in is not just an opportunity to rely on his strength to pass through but to grow in him and see him at that time. For every name we call God now was given as a revelation of God in the season the biblical legends saw him.

How do we practice growing in strength. We grow in strength as he strengthens us through talking to him in sincerity. Many at times we pray to request as we can ask of him as our heavenly father but look at a relationship between an earthly father and his child especially if they are close they form their bond through constant communication and memories. The child is ready to tell his father all about him that he doesn't know and do all it takes to please the father, how much more our heavenly father .

We develop the habit of talking to our heavenly about everything not as if he doesn't know but so that the bond becomes registered in our spirit such that he can release his burdens to us and we can worship well in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. As our heavenly father we also need to know of him by reading his word (Bible) and learning from true children of God that speaks the truth of God avoid false preacher that don't look like the Bible for they are going to kill your growth in strength and in Christ our strength

Keep growing in him even Samuel learnt about seeing how God sees at old age how about you.
