Our prayer for you is that God helps you to leave the best of legacies for your children- leading them in the way of the Lord. Having them depend on your salvation would at best provide them with an appropriated version which can\u2019t take them far. Instead, have them know God for themselves, and you are guaranteed rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Some time ago, I heard one of my pastors say, \u201cGod is God of\nall, but Father to few.\u201d&nbsp; That is to say,\nHe only fathers those that embrace the gift of salvation. The Bible in <strong>1Timothy 2:4<\/strong> lets us know that God\nwants all men saved and to come to the knowledge of truth. But, it takes\nreceiving the gift of salvation and confessing Jesus as Lord and personal savior\nto get anyone enlisted as a child of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Typical of a good earthly father, he wants the best for his\nchildren at all times and does as much as he can to make sure his family is comfortable.\nIf an earthly father can do this, how much more our heavenly father? He dots\nover us with overwhelming love, seeking our best interest at every point of our\nlives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>Matthew 6:25-33<\/strong> presents a catalogue of situations that tend to get people worried- feeding, shelter, clothing, etc. Verses <strong>31-32<\/strong> (TPT) states, \u201c<em>So then, forsake your worries! Why would you say, \u2018What will we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What will we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What will we wear?\u2019&nbsp;For that is what the unbelievers chase after. Doesn\u2019t your heavenly Father already know the things your bodies require?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your heavenly father does know all that you\nrequire per time and He wants to ravish so much love on you, but you determine\nhow much of this love gets to you. He doesn\u2019t want to be only your God, He\nwants to be your Father too. Are you ready to have Him father you? Please say\nto him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><em>Dear God, thank you for the gift of salvation. I appreciate you for sending your son to die for my sins. Today, I forsake my sins and ask that you forgive me. By your blood, cleanse me of every unrighteousness and make me yours. Thank you for saving me, thank you for giving me a new life in Jesus name.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations, you are now born again!! If you would like to know more about your new life in Christ, please send us a <a href=\"1nebodyblog@gmail.com\">mail<\/a>; we\u2019ll be excited to hear from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God&#8217;s blessings always,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dammy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doesn\u2019t your heavenly Father already know the things
