The Apostle John, a single man and most likely childless, wrote, “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.”11 Paul referred to Timothy as “my son”: “Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.”12 He also said that he had “begotten” Onesimus: “I beseech thee for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my bonds.”13 We have no indication that either of these men had biological children, and yet their spiritual children were many.
Shetani yupo kazini, kuomba kwako au kutumiwa kwako na Mungu sana katika huduma uliyopewa karama na vipawa hakuwezi kumzuia asikujaribu na kukuangusha. Petro anasema, " Mwe na kiasi na kukesha; Kwa kuwa mshitaki wenu Ibilisi, kama simba aungurumaye, huzunguka-zunguka, akitafuta mtu ammze ." ~ 1 Petro 5:8. Ufunuo 12:9,12, " Yule joka akatupwa, yule mkubwa, nyoka wa zamani, aitwae Ibilisi na Shetani, audanganyaye ulimwengu wote; akatupwa hata nchi, na malaika zake wakatupwa pamoja naye.
