DAY 265 - It's Our Job to Have Godly Sons And Daughters

Today’s Reading: Genesis 5

Please read Genesis 5 and listen to what the Lord Jesus Christ would like to tell you before reading my Spiritual Journal below. If you would like to learn a simple and good way of Daily Devotion method please read my “Count Down 5” from this blog. You may click this link directly for the method:Subject Shifting Devotion.pdf. (You may begin with a song to praise the Lord and complete you devotion by singing another praise song.)

This is the written account of Adam's line. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. He created them male and female and blessed them. And when they were created, he called them "man(Adam)". When Adam had lived 130 years he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image; and he named him Seth. After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived 930 years and then he died. Genesis 5: 1-5

Jesus inspired me with new light when I was reading Genesis 5! Please find below what I have received:

1. Adam's line, family tree does not start with Adam but starts with God and Adam's is God's first generation. The format is the same to all 10 generations from God, Adam, Seth...to Noah.

2. Cain lost his position in this line and God had Adam started a new line. How sad it is!

3. The new line starts with the same DNA as God created Adam: "When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image." We really need to reclaim this Christ-likeness back to ourselves and our sons and daughters and our family tree.

4. We should be a role model to our sons and daughters as Seth and his son Enosh were good models to change the whole downfall situation back: "Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord." Genesis 4: 26

One step at a time, how are you going to digest the importance of being a father and mother to lead your sons and daughters to lead a life of Christ-likeness. "Like father like son" - how well are you living out an example to lead your sons and daughters to have your own likeness, in you own image.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for today's inspiration of the importance of being a Godly father. Help me to be a father with your likeness and your image. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Welcome! The purpose of this blog is to encourage Christians to have daily devotion - a wonderful and intimate time with Jesus.

There are three reasons for you to use this blog as your daily devotion:

1. A healthy spiritual diet - One chapter of the Bible daily. We really need at least one chapter of Bible daily so that we are well fed.

2. A good example of Spiritual Journaling - What I have committed for 1,189 days(the Bible has 1,189 chapters)to write this daily post is not for teaching purposes but this is my daily spiritual journal - I write down what I hear from Jesus and how I experience His intimate relationship with me each day. I have launched a wide-spectrum research on daily devotion and have found out that there are less than 10% of Christians that are having daily devotion. Out of that 10%, many having daily devotion are doing so because of guilt (they know that they are Christians and need to have daily devotion and feel guilty if they don’t do that), duty (they need to fulfill their duty as a Christian) or study(lots of Christians primarily use their daily devotion as a time to study the Bible). I do pray and hope that you will make up your mind to have a relational daily devotion so that you can have an intimate time with Jesus. I pray that you will write your own spiritual journal as well.

3. An online discipler – One of the reasons that so many Christians do not have daily devotion is because they do not have a discipler. A discipler can help them build up this basic element of discipleship when they first become Christians. The best way for you is to have a discipler to walk with you for a certain period of time so that daily devotion become a good habit. Or, you may have a small group of two to three people to encourage and be accountable to each other so that you won’t stop your daily devotion. I offer myself as your online discipler to walk with you daily to enrich your spiritual journey. So, shall we start this journey with Jesus Christ our Lord now!
