ISRAEL, GOD'S SON

DAILY GRACE FRI.14TH JULY, 2017 ISRAEL, GOD'S SON JER. 31:20 "Is not Israel still my son, my darling child?" asks the Lord."l had to punish him, but l still love him. I long for him and surely will have mercy on him. Israel, as a nation is the chosen people of God that God by His own outstretched hand started with Father Abraham and fought for His people by delivering them from the slavery of many years in a strange land. Gen.12:1-2. Today, believers are the people of God-the Ecclesia (called out ones, the Church, the believers, the covenant people of God). Jer. 31:31-34. God delights in discipline His own children, that are called by His name, "Yahweh". This shows His intense love and how He longs that all His children come to full measure of who He has made them in Him. In fact, if God never disciplines you often and at those times that you derail, then it means that you are an illegitimate child. Heb. 12:8. God's discipline is not meant to kill, harm or destroy you rather, His intent is to make you learn, shapen you and make you better and mature thereby. Even, while He disciplines, He does it with His tender mercy opened up to you. You must ensure that whenever you notice that God is trying to discipline you, embrace it and don't ignore it and don't get discouraged at all. Heb.12:5-7. Those who have destiny in Christ Jesus must go through divine disciplines, i.e no discipline, no destiny! Remember that it is only those who are bonafide children of His that He joyfully, heartily and mercifully disciplines. May you yield to the discipline of God so as to give room for your best to manifest. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Father Lord, help me to embrace your discipline for my progress in life in Jesus' name.
