God & His Kingdom Family

Ephesians 2:19

God has a household/family. His family is part of His Kingdom.
The kingdom of God has an Earthly presence and a heavenly and spiritual presence.
Ephesians 3:15
We are a family in God's kingdom.

The scriptures show us God's family is in heaven and also on Earth.
At the end of age, the heavenly family and the earthly family will come together as one.
Revelation 21:1-3
We all have different and unique personalities and assignments in this family but we are all bound by love.
Love is that great quality and nature those in God's family and kingdom have.
John 15:12

The Holy Spirit is part of this family.
Jesus Christ is part of this family.
Jehovah (the Father) is part of this family.
Angels are part of this kingdom family and that's why angels are called sons of God.
Job 2:1, Genesis 6:2
Whether winged angels or angels without wings, they are sons of God.
Whether it's cherubims, seraphims or thrones (also called the 24 elders), they are part of God's family.
Revelation 4:4
If you are saved, if you have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour you are a part of this royal kingdom and family.
1 Peter 2:9

The presence of this glorious family will always be with you.
The presence of our heavenly family is strongest among us when we assemble together to worship (often called church).
Hebrews 12:22
Jesus is part of this family, even when He was on earth.
That's why He enjoyed fellowship with personalities from the dimension of God's kingdom and family. Eg. Moses and Elijah on the mount of transfiguration, and angels after fasting.

In God's family we are royalty.
Your identity is rooted in the kingdom of God, get to know this family!
Revelation 5:10

Benefits of being part of God's family:
In God's family we are protected. Psalm 91:11
In God's family we are armed. Ephesians 6:10
In God's family we look out for one another. 1 John 3:17
In God's family we enjoy favour. Proverbs 8:35
In God's family, there are ranks. Jude 1:9, Ephesians 6:1, Ephesians 4:11
In God's family there is respect. Philippians 2:3
The respect comes because there is ranks and hierarchy in God's kingdom household.
We enjoy mercy in this family. Ephesians 2:4,5
In God's family we are loved. 1 John 4:7-8

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
