We Cry "Abba Father"

From Our Pastor's Desk

Romans 8:15  For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

Abba is the Hebrew word for father. Just like Jesus Christ (Mark 14:36) & Paul (Galatians 4:6), we also cry Abba, to address God in a relation of personal, deep intimacy. 

Just like calling our earthly father “Daddy”. Also, just like Abba (or Ab), another root word for father is Pater (Greek), and they all basically mean source, foundation, upholder…etc. 

The source of a thing is its ab or father. The upholder. Father is the source that upholds every-thing that comes from it. In Isaiah 41:10, the Lord tells us to “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” He is our Up-holder. 

We are His children. No matter how old we become, we are still children be-fore our Father in Heaven! As our earthly fathers do, even more so our Father in heaven will  

 Pamper & Prosper us, 

 Nurture & Nourish us, 

 Enrich & Empower us, 

 Care & Cater for us, 

 Love, & Lavish His attention upon us, 

 Guide & Guard us. 

That the Lord God, our Abba Father, cherishes us as His children, will be evident for all to see, this day and forever, in Jesus mighty Name. Amen 

You will have good success this 2022. 

Remain blessed.  

Shalom.
