What does it mean to be a child of God? According to God's Word, we are one with Him. We are Abraham's seed and an heir. That means we have a promised inheritance from God that is greater than anything we could receive from this world. It is an identity that can never be taken away.

There's Purpose In Your Name!
Written by Elder Lily Jenkins
Galatians 3: 26-29 --For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
God, from the foundation of the world, knew you, ordained you, and mandated your purpose in the earth. Upon your birth, you were given a name who was synonymous to who your parents knew you were. That name stuck with you, even until now. However, upon your re-birth, and regeneration through Jesus Christ, you were given a new name. That name is a child of God.
What does it mean to be a child of God? According to God's Word, we are one with Him. We are Abraham's seed and an heir. That means we have a promised inheritance from God that is greater than anything we could receive from this world. It is an identity that can never be taken away.
There are many in the Bible that had one name upon birth, but after getting a greater insight and a greater sense of purpose as to who God was in their lives, their names changed. Jesus immediately gave Simon Bar-jona the name, Peter meaning Rock in the Greek, after He gained insight into who Jesus really was. As a matter of fact, Jesus said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-jona, For flesh and blood have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven" (Matthew 16:17). When Abram and Sarai took hold of the knowledge and insight into their greatest purpose of being the mother and father among many nations, it in turn, caused a dramatic change in their characters-thus the given names Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 17:5, 15).
When you know who and whose you are, your name will line up with the purpose and plan of God for your life. You are a child of the King. Let that name and the brand of being Christ-like bring glory to God. At the Purpose Development Institute, we teach the wisdom that Hebrew brings to the Bible, since it is the original language of God. See you cannot have a surface knowledge of the Bible and survive in this day and age. The Hebrew word for King spells Melek. If you took the word in Hebrew and spell it backwards, it is Calem which means embarrassment. In other words, if you don't live up to your name and live in the class of a king, you will become an embarrassment to the kingdom of God. Be confirmed today in who you are!

In spite of being childless and with no childrearing moments to celebrate, Elisabeth was faithful in her duty towards God. Both she and Zacharias, although well stricken, were well situated for God to breathe upon their lives and upon their bodies. God was going to do a new thing for this faithful, righteous, and blameless couple. God was about to shine forth his favor upon this unsuspecting couple, and grant unto them a dream come true, which they thought, was a dream deferred, and God can do the same for you!

Let me first say that it's your time and it's your turn! This is the season of the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:31), yielding forth fire, glory, greater, increase, acceleration, etc. However, it's not short of warfare… and we thank God for all of it! I say that because maybe you're like me in that this year [has yielded forth some] unexpected things of life that you had no control over. From losing my job; to my husband's health issues; to personal family matters; so far, this year has been real. And yet...read more inside...
