FATHER AND CHILD RELATIONSHIP

Is a father-son relationship built on mutual interest? No, that’s between friends. Is a father-son relationship built on commercial value? No! Then, what is this relationship based on? Blood covenant! It is the father’s blood that flows through the veins of his children. They belong to him. When we pray, we enter the throne room of God with boldness by the Blood of Jesus. Nothing can keep us apart.

There are three allegories that Jesus cites:

1. Jesus is the Bread of Life. If we desire Him, He will come to us. With Jesus, we won’t end up with a stone that doesn’t edify or build.

2. God alone is the source of all good things. When we pray to the powers of the world, they swallow our time, good works, and relationships like serpents. Our Heavenly Father is the source of all goodness and when we pray to Him, He will only multiply our fish.

3. He provides without adding any sorrow to it. In the Middle-East, scorpions (white variety ones) can be mistaken for eggs when they cuddle up. They are a good example of baits in the world like drugs, alcohol, etc. that look attractive and promising but once they catch us, they switch. With their tail, they give us a poisonous sting.

Our Heavenly Father answers our prayers through the Holy Spirit (when we pray in tongues) and helps us handle our gifts responsibly.

Dear Heavenly Father, we are thankful for we are your children and you are the source of all good things in our lives. We are nothing without you. We depend on you and trust you, for your thoughts towards us are always good and perfect. Amen!
