  NOT AUTOMATIC Philippians.1:1-11 Devotional:- “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns” (V.6 NLT) Knowing fully well that spiritual growth is one of your purpose of been on the earth, then you also need to know that developing Christ-like character takes years, it is not automatic. We open to God bit by bit. Discipleship is the process of conforming to Christ (Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:13). The truth is that the journey to Christ-likeness is a life time journey. Growth involves believing, belonging (through fellowship) and becoming (through discipleship). Every day God want you to become a little more like Him (Colossians 3:10) Today we are interested in speed but God is interested in strength and stability than swiftness (2 Corinthians 3:18). The reason it takes time to grow is because we are slow learner. We often have to relearn a lesson forth or fifty times to reall...

SONSHIP

SONSHIP

Galatians 3:26 - 29
Devotional:- “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (V.26) NKJV

    It is of great importance to constantly keep in your mind the awareness of your sonship in God. This reminds you of your status in Christ and gives you a steady growth in faith. If you forget the son of who you are, you are bound to face what you are not supposed to.

You become a child of God when you invite Jesus into your heart and He dwells in your spirit by His Spirit in you (1 Corinthians 3:16). You then grow to become a son of God when you always fellowship with Him and you allow Him to direct your heart (Romans 8:14). If you are the son of the highest God, the creator of heaven and earth, the ruler of the universe, then the angels are envying you (1 Peter 1:12).

Friend, you are not ordinary and that is why the bible calls you god (John 10:34). You are a son of God because His Spirit is in you. It is the Spirit of Jesus that dwells in you. When the enemy sees you he is afraid of you. He knows you are a child of authority (Luke 10:19). He only tricks you into fear since he knows you are ignorant. From now remember to always tell yourself “I am a son of the highest”. This should build up your confidence from now and all doors shall open unto you. You are now irresistible; your appearance shall terrify the devil. Since you are the son of the highest, you shall not be defeated. You shall arise and shine.

Prayer: Lord, let the glory of my sonship be demonstrated from now.

“A SON IS ALWAYS A RULER OVER THE SUBJECT”
