John 16:25-33

I CAME FROM THE FATHER
Yes, I came from the father into the world, and now I will leave the world and return to the father. John 16:28, NLT

Jesus plainly declared to His disciples that He came from the Father. At His ascension, He went back to the Father. As a result, we gain access to the Father through His Son, Jesus. We can ask and receive whatever we desire according to His will.

Once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, automatically, the love of the Father is planted in us. Our love for Jesus shows we believe He came from the Father.
Jesus knew His Source and was accountable to Him. If we would fulfill God's purpose on earth, we should behave likewise. The One who sent us is waiting for our "report cards".

Bearing this in mind will help us watch our motives, motivations, decisions, actions, reactions and responses in our daily engagements and ministries. The import of the message is this: God is your Source, He is the Source of your resources and unto Him you shall give account of your life and stewardship. Live in this consciousness.
