A Child or A Son?



The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
- Romans 8:16

At new birth, our spirit is quickened or made alive.
This(spirit) died in man, when Adam sinned in the garden of Eden.
God told Adam the day you eat of the tree, you shalt surely die. Genesis 2:17. So, it was the spirit of Adam that died, when he sinned by disobedient. I have heard people say, 'but he(Adam) didn't die as God had said' yes, he did!

Through Christ Jesus, the spirit that was dead to the things of God is quickened back. Now the Spirit of God is bearing witness with our spirit, that we are no longer under the authority and kingdom of Satan, due to man's fall. But, we have been translated into the Kingdom of God through Jesus Christ sacrifice on the cross, and that we are now children of God.
Being a child of God is good, but there is more for us. There is a purpose for which we were created. We can only know why, understand why and be guided, and also for what purpose. when the Spirit of God leads us step by step into it, through our spirit. This is however a process.

Are you a child of God? Good! But, every child is expected to grow and develop to maturity(to become a son). That is the reason we have the five fold Ministry gift; Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and Teachers to help us develop to the status and measure of the Christ(anointed), Ephesians 4:11-12. Many are children, but very few are sons.

Romans 8:14 says, 
"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." 
And in Romans 8:19, 
"For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God." waiteth for sons not children, God expects us to develop into sons. Unfortunately, many stop at baby stage and never developed.
Too many remained baby all their life and never really get into what God has created them for. This is sad, but true! It a matter of choice, you can make a decision today to develop into God's fullness. Have a fruitful week! 

Jesus is Lord!

Press In

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.... – Colossians 3:16 Things in this old world aren't getting any better, and in recent times, the Holy Spirit has been speaking an urgent message to my heart. He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
