A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.” #Godscreation

"Can you not take it out now?" Niki asked as she was in so much pain about to have our first child. The feeling of pain in most cases immediately turns to the feeling of joy and excitement as the new child is held in the hands of the parents. And if you are a parent like me, you think, Oh man, what have I done! I’ve got to look after this?!

The birthing process is one created by God. God is not a father like me. From the beginning He knows you; He has a plan for your life!

John 1:12-13 KJV

[12] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: [13] which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Original Word: ?ξουσ?α. Translation exousia Meaning: (a) power, authority, weight, especially: moral authority, influence,

It takes power to remain in a childlike state with God. Power to totally depend on Him and not our own strength. Power to obey His command and instructions. Power to yield to His will. Power to realise and live our identity in Christ!

If you tell my children that we are not their parents, they will laugh in your face because at their young age, we’ve lived life together, so much so that they know their true identity.

You are a child of God purchased by the blood of Jesus! You have every right to come to your father in boldness and confidence. You have the right to live the life your father promised you. You have the authority to say, "As it is in heaven, so shall it be on earth."

Get busy doing your father’s will

The Holy Spirit enables us to remain in this childlike state! Yield to Him as you go about your day. Listen to those prompts and act as your father has instructed. Live a life saturated in the Holy Spirit. Get busy doing your father’s will.
