KNOWING GOD AS YOUR FATHER

23rd April 2024

KNOWING GOD AS YOUR FATHER

Jeremiah 3:19 – But I said, how shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, thou shalt call me, my father; and shalt not turn away from me.

Throughout the Old Testament and even before the coming of Jesus, the nature of God as a father was not commonly used. We see God as the Lord (Malachi 3:6), the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exodus 3:15), the Almighty and Jehovah (Ex 6:3). The desire of God for us all is to acknowledge Him as our Father” …thou shalt call me, my father…” and this Fatherhood of God was made more known through Jesus Christ. All through the life of Jesus, He always acknowledged God as the Father.

In teaching the disciples how to pray in Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus made it a point that God should be acknowledged as β€œour father”. The revelation of God as the father by Jesus is also seen in John 6:39 about the will of the Father, John 11:41 He hears you when you call, John 10:29 talking about the greatness of God and His ability to preserve, Matthew 6:8 He cares for you, Matthew 7:11 He gives good gifts, Luke 11:13 He gives the Holy Spirit.

As long as you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour and believe in Him, you are empowered to be the son of God. To then enjoy the benefit of sonship, we must consciously see and acknowledge God as our Father and then as Jeremiah 3:19 says, He will give us pleasant land, goodly heritage of the hosts of nations.

Matthew 6 gives us a clear description of who God is as a Father, our Provider. In Matthew 6:8, He knows what you need even before you ask. This shows that God clearly is not ignorant of you as His child. In Matthew 6:25-32, we see that as a child of God, you are valuable to God (vs 26) and therefore, He will feed you (vs 26), He will clothe you with beauty (vs 28-30). There is provision of what to eat, drink, and put on (vs 31-32).

Also, Jesus makes us to understand that we have a Father that is greater than every enemy that might come against us and that God as our Father is able to preserve us and all He has given to us. Here, we see God as our Protector (John 10:29). Therefore, be confident that the life God has given you, nobody can take it away from you. Your children, your business, your spouse, and all that God has given unto You, they are preserved.

Confession
I have God as my Father, He takes care of me. Therefore, I lack nothing good, I am protected, I am blessed, I am clothed with beauty. All that my Father has given unto me are preserved and protected in the name of Jesus. Amen

  5. Once we accept Jesus as our lord and savior, God becomes our father.
    There are so many benefits of God being our father. Some of these are: he becomes
    1. Our provider; making us lack nothing
    2. Our protector or preserver; ensuring that we and all that we have is kept safe and preserved against any evil or destruction.
    So we need to remember that God always cares for us and will never ignore us because we are his children.

    Thank you Pastor

  7. Evangelist Margaret Jesuorobo

    Luke 11
    1
    One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
    2
    He said to them, “When you pray, say: “Our`Father, [1] hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. [2]
    3
    Give us each day our daily bread.
    4
    Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. [3] And lead us not into temptation.
