LESSON 4 : BIRTH

 Good day family. lesson 4 is here 😊🤗

Let's get into it✍🏻✍🏻✍🏻

Other accrued tenses are - born, bore, birthed, birthing.

Referential words in scripture include begat, bear, delivered(contextual) etc.

 Some others which may show the process include conceived, bare etc.

WHAT IS BIRTH?

Birth is simply the process of child bearing

Birth is the descriptive name used around the scenario of offsprings emerging from all living things.

Animals give birth, even plants bear fruits.

Birth signifies many things, like a mark, or a sign to something

they are indicators of so many things depending on the scenario behind it.🤌🏻

📌The first pointer the scripture shows us is fruitfulness, multiplication and replenishment of the earth. 

📌 Second pointer is that birth is an agenda to create similar offsprings of like mind and capabilities, much similar, like a carbon copy of the entity birthing.

Let's look at the scripture.

John 3:6: That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

It is good to know the importance of birth in your whole process.

 Whilst we don’t have much of a choice how, where or when to be born(coming to earth), it takes conscious decision to be born again.

What does it mean to be born again?

John  3:3: _Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”_ 

And a lot of people hate the ease behind this process because it looks easy. But one must make the decision to be born again to be saved.

 _Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, all things have become new_

2 Corinthians 5:17

Another scripture goes further to tell us that man *believes with his heart unto righteousness and confesses unto salvation*

and so salvation is new birth

If you are born again, congratulations.🤝🤝

If you are still reading till this point, congratulations. The growth series is designed to bless you.

The bible is like an identity manual,

Jesus being the centre focus and how you can fulfil what you were created for, being the aim.

Let's look at another scripture.

Ephesians 4:24:

and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Let's look at one more point why birth is important.

📌Birth was repurposed because man fell

*Psalm 51:5*

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,

And in sin my mother conceived me.

Jesus came so that many can be reborn. That is, being BORN AGAIN. Going back to it's originality.

Although through Adam, sin came, but through Jesus Christ, righteousness came and Jesus is the same forever

Until you understand BIRTH(Being born again), you do not have a foundation and if the foundation is destroyed, what can the righteous do?

follow growth series because discipleship is key to attaining stature in God.

Remain blessed.
