TODAY’S TOPIC: God's Children are born champions
Text: Galatians 4:22-31 (NIV):
"4:22. For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
4:23. His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.
4:24. These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
4:25. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
4:26. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
4:27. For it is written: "Be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband."
4:28. Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
4:29. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
4:30. But what does the Scripture say? "Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son."
4:31. Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Gog's children are the real champions. They (we) are children born of free woman. Those born by free or legitimately married wives should beam the light of hope at their homes. They are engine rooms. Our lives should reflect that in our behaviours. That is, we should display it in our attitudes. If we are actually reflecting it in our daily lives, what is currently happening among us ought not to occur. In Nigeria, specifically, it is annoying. We must not use because others are increasing the fees for accessing money through POS to increase ours too. Why are we also indulging in hoarding or selling Naira notes in banks? Some of our transporters have equally hiked the cost of transportation just as fuel pump price are on iroko too. We can overcome all these by showing love to all.
