Like Father, Like Son
Romans 8:16
16The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Everything produces after its kind. Dogs give birth to puppies, cats give birth to kittens and tigers give birth to tiger cubs. In the same manner, when you are born again, you are born of God. You are a child of the Most High God and He is your Father. He doesn’t see you in the flesh. He sees you in the Spirit. And His Spirit bears witness with your spirit that you are His child.
So when the devil comes to you and says, “Well, your father died of cancer, his father died of cancer and you are going to die of cancer, just like your father,” you should say to him, “Yes, devil, you are right, I am like my father — my Father in heaven. I am a child of the Most High God. He doesn’t have cancer, so neither do I!”
In the same way, when you are born again of the Spirit, you are born to win. Because your Daddy God is a winner, you are too! When you wake up in the morning, say, “I am born to be a winner because God is a winner!”
When you say that you cannot afford to buy something that you need, you have forgotten which family you now belong to. You have been born again into a very rich family — your Father owns every beast in the forest and the cattle on a thousand hills! (Psalm 50:10) You have a Daddy God in heaven who can supply all your needs. (Philippians 4:19) Even if you don’t have the money now, you need not worry. Just ask God for the supply because your heavenly Father is rich.
When someone talks to you about a problem and asks, “What are we going to do about it?” you should say, “Don’t worry. Let’s talk to Daddy God about it. It’s not a problem for Him, so it will not be a problem for us.”
Even when all around you is going under, your Daddy God is still the same heavenly Father who kept Noah’s world afloat, his loved ones safe and sound, and his possessions intact. Your world will never go under because you are God’s beloved child!
If you would like to receive all that Jesus has done for you and make Him your Lord and Saviour, please say this prayer.
Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and dying for me on the cross. Your precious blood washes me clean of every sin. You are my Lord, my Saviour and my God, now and forever. I believe that You rose from the dead and that You are alive today. God, You are my Father and I am Your child because of Jesus Christ. Thank you for filling my heart with Your peace and joy. In Jesus' name, Amen.
