“Have we not all one Father?
Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously with one another
By profaning the covenant of the fathers?”

Malachi 2:10 (NKJV)

Scripture & Prayer submitted by: Pastor Caleb Rodriguez

Dear Heavenly Father, your Word teaches us that we are all your children by creation (Gen. 1:26-28), and You do not want us to treat each other treacherously, but rather expect all human beings to deal equitably with one another.

It is quite evident that racism, bigotry and hatred seem to be running rampant in our society today. The world may try to identify all kinds of different reasons as to why all of this may be occurring & some have very valid points of reasoning that we do not overlook. However, in searching the Scriptures we know that “sin” is the major cause of mankind’s issues & failures!!! Sin separates us from God. Sin causes people to deal treacherously with one another and this leads to profaning the covenant of our spiritual leaders & forefathers. This is why we pray that all of Your children by creation would repent of their sins; come to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and truly become Your children by “adoption” as it says in Romans 8:14-16

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out “Abba, Father.” 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God…

As it is also confirmed in Galatians 4:5-7:

5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6 And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

Then and only then, can Your Holy Spirit produce the fruit of Godly love, in your adopted children; which will enable them to truly love their neighbor as themselves and not deal treacherously with one another!!!

May we yield our hearts and wills to our Lord, always. We ask these things in the Matchless Name of Jesus.

Amen!!!
