We are adopted

Galatians 4:1
"Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2 but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons."

Until we come to maturity, we are all on the same level. We grow to be mature because we are in the Word and we grow in our prayer life. When the time was right in God's sight, we reach maturity. When we reach maturity, we can help those who are weak in their walk. In the anaology presented, when the time was right God sent Jesus to earth to buy us back after Adam sold us out to the devil. Jesus made it possible for us to be adopted into his family. All we have to do is accept Jesus as saviour from our sin. You can be adopted into the family.

The book of Romans tells us how, let's look at it, in Romans 10:9-10 NKJV, it reads,

"that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
It is great being a part of the family.

Your Thought Life

It is interesting to me, how we don’t realize that how we think, affects our lives. We make most of our decisions based on what we ponder. Consider how much you dwell on a particular thought and at some point you make plans on how you will make it happen.  You possibly have thought on a matter so intently, that you start making hand motions or your foot moves as if you are actually doing what you are only thinking about. Your thoughts are actually very powerful. It is the genesis of any action you take. Books have been written on what effects our thinking can accomplish. Possibly one of the better known books on the subject is “Think And Grow Rich” written by Napoleon Hill. The book was first released in the 1930’s and changed the trajectory of many lives. Many of the concepts are found in the Word of God, the writer only acknowledges the fact in rare mentions. Another source that is out there is the Master Key System. It follows the same concept as the book “Think And Gro

Money Answers Everything

Ecclesiastes 10:19 NKJV A feast is made for laughter, And wine makes merry; But money answers everything. This can mean that money is needed for bread and wine, and/or that money provides life's needs. Look back to Eccl 7:12 (NIV) for another example of how it is acknowledged that money is needed: Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor. Remember that knowledge is just the beginning of wisdom. True wisdom gives benefits in this life and the life to come. Proverbs 17:8 NKJV A present is a precious stone in the eyes of its possessor; Wherever he turns, he prospers.
