FROM SERVANTHOOOD TO SONSHIP (PART I)
Text: Romans 8: 14-17
“For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage to fear, but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we, ‘Abba, Father’. 16 the spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. 17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together”
Everybody who accepts Christ as his lord and personal savior is called, cleansed and elevated by God from servanthood to sonship.
As Christians, we have been called by God to be joint-heirs with Christ Jesus to enjoy full sonship rights.
Most Christians today remain in the servanthood stage till they die. They do not really enjoy the full benefits of being sons or joint-heirs in the kingdom of God.
Once you confess and accept Christ, your level is changed, you no longer exist in the kingdom of darkness but rather the kingdom of God (righteousness). Your godly nature is restored once you accept Christ to be the Lord of your life. Your right to have dominion is restore back to you. Though you still exist in the flesh, you become a new creature.
Every Christian is supposed to have dominion over everything as heirs in the kingdom of God. Christians are supposed to live a life of authority over darkness to draw men to Christ.
Christianity, we should know is not a religion of modest living, but a way of life. Christians are supposed to have full access to all the benefits of a heir in the kingdom of God – thus they are supposed to enjoy the full riches in Christ Jesus. They are not supposed to live a beggarly life but rather a life worth envying by the unbelievers.
The child of God is to be the head everywhere he finds himself, live in good health, a lender and above all exercise full authority over all forces of darkness.
The essence of accepting Christ Jesus is not just living a lowly life and expecting to be in heaven one day. I strongly believe that if going to heaven alone is the reason of salvation, then God would have been killing us just minutes after salvation.
You are a son, a prince and a joint-heir in the kingdom of God so stop living like a servant. Exercise your God-given authority today and see the hand of God at work in your life.
SHALOM!!!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
The price paid on the cross by Christ for you is too expensive to live a cheap beggarly life.
