Equal access to the Father

Equality is never about gender, neither is it about strength nor weakness but always about a level playing field. And equality is different from equity as well as inequality.

While inequality is the opposite of equality and equity is based on a person's contribution, what one brings to the table; equality, as it relates to our discus, is dependent on God - what God brings to the table. And He says "equally access"

"He treated us as equals, and so made us equals. Through him we both share the same Spirit and have equal access to the Father."(Eph.2.18 msg)

After Jesus made a "new kind of human being" (see Eph.2.15 msg) God granted everyone equal access. He treats everyone equally but much more than equal treatment, He gave equal access to everyone. No one has more access to the Father than any other.

This is encouraging because that means I do not need anyone to be able to gain access to the Father.

If you remember when Jesus breathed his last on the cross, the Bible records that the veil separating the holy of holiest from the outer court was rent in two (see Matthew:27:51). This once again reaffirms your free access to the Father. He is a whisper away. He is as close as the mention of His name or thought of His name. You have equal access...

Good day,
And have a great day today,

      Interesting, yes we will have u limited access to God our Father.

      One is only limited by himself particularly by those that refuse accept Him as their Lord and Father.

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
