THE BELIEVER'S PATERNITY TEST

 "whoever says he lives in Christ [that is, whoever says he has accepted Him as God and Savior] ought [as a moral obligation] to walk and conduct himself just as He walked and conducted Himself."-1 John 2:6 (AMP)

A father and his son arrived in a small town looking for an uncle whom they had never seen. Suddenly, the father, pointing across the square to a man who was walking away from them, exclaimed, “There goes my uncle!” His son asked, “How do you know when you have not seen him before?” “Son, I know him because he walks exactly like my father.” (The Gold Mine, Lee Roberson)

A paternity test is the scientific means of establishing whether a biological relationship exist between a father and a child. The test compares the DNA profiles of a father and his alleged child to determine the validity of their claim. There is an urgent need for heaven to conduct paternity test on many professing believers in our generation. The result of this paternity test must be published before the trumpet sounds. The test will help to unravel all the vagabonds who have been parading themselves as children of God, Choristers, Pastors, Deacons, Apostles, General Overseers etc in the kingdom. 

In 1 John 2:6, Holy Spirit states the procedures for conducting paternity test for any one who claims to be a believer. The fellow must have a striking resemblance with the saviour in mannerism and conduct. The believer's paternity test cannot be compromised or manipulated since God already knows those who are his (2 Timothy 2:19). And on the day of reckoning, when the ultimate paternity test result shall be announced, there will be many surprises. According to Luke 13:26-28, some highly respected believers will be tagged as "vagabond" and ushered into the lake of fire. 

"Then you will begin to say, "But Master, we had meals with you. You taught us in the streets of our villages". But He will tell you, "No! I really do not know you. I do not know where you come from. You have done very bad things, so go away from me, all of you!" - Luke 13:26-27 (EASY)

Friends, are you sure you can pass the believers paternity test? If your DNA sample is collected and compared with that of Christ, what will be the result? Do you have any striking resemblance with our father in heaven? Are you a spiritual vagabond? Can others see the image of Christ in you? Is your life a contradiction to God? Please be sincere with yourself, repent and make your ways right with God before the trumpet sounds. 

One powerful hymn that re-echoes the desires of any believer who wants to pass the paternity test is titled "Walking With Jesus". Please prayerfully meditate on the lyrics of this hymn and trust God for grace to pass the believer's paternity test.

WALKING WITH JESUS By Samuel L. Speck, (1897)

My days are swiftly passing by,

My time ere long will close,

But I’ve a home beyond the sky

Where I shall soon repose.

Refrain:

           Yes, passing gently, gently on

           To realms of holy rest,

           My soul is filled with rapt’rous song,

           I’ll sing among the blest.

Then help me, Lord, to ever be

A faithful child of Thine,

Washed in Thy blood that flowed so free,

And filled with love divine.

I press my hand, dear Lord, in Thine,

And walk by faith with Thee;

Oh, let Thy glory in me shine,

That men Thy life may see.

I walk and talk with Jesus now,

And lean upon His arm,

And to His scepter meekly bow;

He keeps me from all harm.

It is prayer that all backsliders shall be restored before their paternity result is announced. And all genuine believers shall remain on the narrow path till Christ returns to take them home. 

Good day and God bless you.

Maranatha!
