FROM SERVANTHOOD TO SONSHIP (PART II)
THE ABILITY TO MAINTAIN AND ENJOY FULL SONSHIP RIGHTS
Text: Acts 1:8
8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. (AMP)
Memory Verse: Romans 8:16
The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God.(AMP)
Beloved, once you accept Jesus into your life, you are divinely elevated from being a servant to sin to a joint-heir with Christ Jesus.
Now, even as a child of God, you need to perform certain responsibilities to be able maintain your sonship right and even become your father’s favorite.
One problem many people face is the inability to maintain their sonship less to talk of becoming their father’s favorite.
The devil is a tireless worker. Even when you are saved by God from his kingdom, he (devil) works tirelessly just to win you back to his kingdom.
Therefore we need to be conscious of the fact that being saved from the kingdom of darkness does not mean the devil will just sit down and fold his arms and watch you.
The Bible makes it clear in 1 Peter 5:8
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.
Now the ability to maintain and enjoy your sonship comes from God through the indwelling of the HOLY SPIRIT.
A child of God without the indwelling of the holy spirit is as powerless as a toothless dog. That's why Jesus told his disciples they will receive power when the holy ghost is come upon them.
Acts 1:8a “But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you”
I believe in prayer but without the indwelling of the holy spirit, you will get fed up whilst praying.
When the holy spirit comes, living the Christian life becomes easy because he (holy spirit) empowers, teaches and directs you in your walk with God.
Beloved the holy spirit is a MUST HAVE for everybody who wants to remain a child of God.
PRAYER
Dear Lord, I realize the need for the indwelling of the holy spirit in my life. Spirit divine I thirst and long for you today. Come dwell in me, satisfy my hunger and quench my thirst so that I might live for you and enjoy all the benefits that comes with serving you. Thank you Lord for answered prayer in Jesus Name.
Amen.
