As believers, we are God’s children. A child of God will reflect His character. Each week, we focus on one scripture while highlighting a declaration (Who God is) and affirmation (Who we are as believers).
This week’s scripture is:
Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
Genesis 35:11 NKJV
Declaration
God is almighty.
Affirmation
I am a child of the all-powerful God.
Sometimes when God gives instructions, we hesitate. We fail to fully accept the vision or dream that He has given us. It’s the opposite of what we should be doing as believers. We should spring into action at the commands of our Heavenly Father. When God tells us to do something, we need to remember that we are, first and foremost, His children. He would not give us instructions if He was not going to ensure that they came to completion. This is a call for you to walk in purpose as a child of God Almighty.
A Prayer Starter…
Heavenly Father, You are God Almighty. You are all-powerful and give vision to the blind. Lord, thank you for giving me instructions to carry out Your will. I have hesitated in the past, but not anymore. Continue to grant me the strength to move in alignment with Your purpose. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

The passage illustrates the importance of being a beacon of light in dim, dark places, as guided by Luke 11:33-36. One must not let comfort lead to dulled awareness, but instead consciously illuminate one’s environment. It urges self-reflection on how one’s personal light can lead others towards embracing Jesus.
The Lord’s Prayer 11 Now Jesus was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone
The Beatitudes 20 And He raised His eyes toward His disciples and began saying, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when the people hate you, and when they exclude you, and insult you, and scorn your
I have been lost a time or two. Usually, because I got distracted and wandered off the intended path. Whatever sparked my interest was enough to cause me to lose sight of my intended destination. In this passage, we find Jesus as a child, so focused on His Father’s business that he wanders off from his parents. In my own life, I’ve found that I’m not prone to wander towards my father’s business….but away from it.
If you or someone close to you is in need, we would be honored to lift you up in prayer. We believe in the power of prayer to bring peace, comfort, and reassurance during times of hardship. Our community is ready to join together and pray as we trust in God’s love and unending grace.
