MORNING TEAâ
SUNDAY APRIL 30, 2023.
START THINKING AS A SON.
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
1 John 3:2, NIV -
âDear friends, now we are the children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.â
TODAY'S WORD:
Itâs easy to have the wrong image of ourselves. The Scripture says, âNow we are the children of God,â but too many times, we live as though we donât deserve to be blessed because weâve made too many mistakes and had too many negative things come against us. We live with a slave mentality to mediocrity, to guilt, to lack, to addictions.
Stop thinking as a slave and start thinking as a son. Stop thinking about what youâve been through and the mistakes youâve made, and start thinking about who you are. A son of the Most High God doesnât live feeling guilty and condemned about past mistakes; he receives mercy and moves forward. A son or daughter has boldness and confidence. Youâll expect Godâs favour. Youâll believe for doors to open for you that you donât deserve. Why? Because youâre not a slave, or a hired worker, or a friend of the family. Youâre a free child of Almighty God!
PRAYER FOR TODAY: âFather, thank You that You have made me Your child, and I am no longer a slave. Thank You that You redeemed me, and Youâre taking me forward into full freedom. I believe that I have Your favour, and the obstacles in my way will be overcome. In Jesusâ Name, Amen.â
