Our Father Who Art In Heaven: Volume One Discover the Love of God Beyond Human Senses

By K C Uche

This series of devotionals is to encourage us to grow in our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We have all stayed away too long from Him that it is difficult for us to discover the love of our Heavenly Father beyond human senses. Our Lord Jesus said, "I have revealed you to them, and I will continue to do so. Then your love for me will be in them, and I will be in them" (John 17:26). So the more we increase in our knowledge of God, the more we remain in His love.Beloved, do you want to enjoy the peace and goodies the world and its affluence cannot give? Do you want to live in and experience God's rightness and justice--God's own ways of doing things right? Have you tasted the joy of the Holy Spirit? If not, this devotional is for you. Come and enjoy the fatherhood of God--a divine Father-child relationship God planned for Him and us before the foundation of the world.

Introduction

Self-knowledge and the knowledge of God is important in our relationship with God, so as to give Him the worship He seeks.

Just as our body thirsts and hunger for food, our soul yearns for his creator—our Heavenly Father. The coming of our Lord Jesus was not only to free us from our sins but also to reconcile us with our Heavenly Father.

We have all stayed away too long from our Heavenly Father that we neither know who He is nor who we really are. These series of devotionals provide spiritual insights and the wisdom you need to grow in the knowledge of God, our Heavenly Father, as well as who you are in Christ Jesus so you can love God beyond human senses and give him the worship He seeks.

Chapter 1

Relate to God Beyond Human Senses

Our Genealogy

For you have been born again, but not to a life that will quickly end. Your new life will last forever because it comes from the eternal, living word of God (1 Peter 1:23 NLT).

After baptism, even though we look the same, we are a new kind of man, created in the true image and likeness of God, same as Jesus. Our genealogy is not traced to our ancestors, rather to the Word of God. That is why we are not subject to ancestral curses.

This is our genealogy:

In the beginning the Word already existed. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. He existed in the beginning with God. God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. He came to his own homeland, yet his own people did not receive him. But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. They are reborn—not with a physical birth resulting from human passion or plan, but a birth that comes from God. (John 1:1–3, 11–13 NLT)

Never let anyone tease you with ancestral curses, for we are now brand-new; old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV). God does not give birth the same way as humans do; even our challenges are part of our creation. God’s creative hands are still holding us till we receive our new bodies—celestial bodies.

That is why the Bible says that Adam, the first man, was made from the dust of the earth, while Christ, the second man, came from heaven. Earthly people are like the earthly man, and heavenly people are like the heavenly man. Just as we are now like the earthly man, we will someday be like the heavenly man (1 Corinthians 15:47–49 NLT).

Prayer

We pray for the grace to grow in the knowledge of the new life Christ brought for us, to the glory of God the Father. In Jesus’s name, amen!

Thank You, Jesus!

The Fatherhood of God

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God (Romans 8:16 NKJV).

If you want to verify the paternity of a child, you test the DNA. In the kingdom of God, we do not test DNAs. We trace paternity through the Spirit of God. He is the one who affirms with our spirit that we are the children of God. He is the life in every child of God. First Corinthians 12:13 (NKJV) says, For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body.

First John 5:8 (NKJV) says, There are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as one.

The water is the water of baptism, showing that we are dead to this world and alive in Christ. The blood rescued us from darkness into the kingdom of Christ, and the Spirit affirms this.

That was why when we were baptized into Christ, we were created anew in the true nature of God, in the same spiritual personality. Spirit gives birth to spirits. Romans 8:15 (NKJV) says, But ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Our Lord Jesus said, As the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself (John 5:26).

So the same life of God in Jesus is in us, for as He is so we are in this world. That is why the Bible says, And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life (1 John 5:11–12 NKJV).

Brothers and sisters, which life are we living today? Human life or this eternal life of God?

Prayer

We pray for the grace to live life as children of the Most High, to the glory of God the Father. In Jesus’s name, amen!

Thank You, Jesus!

Be Filled with the Spirit All the Time

And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18 KJV).

If you are driving and you stop at a red light and another car is coming behind you slowly, you will notice that when the light turns green, the car driving slowly behind you will overtake you. Why? Because your car has potential energy, which needs to be converted to kinetic energy for the car to accelerate, while the car driving slowly behind you has kinetic energy—energy due to its acceleration—and can easily speed off.

If we are filled with the
