WHO IS A SON?
Romans 8:14 KJV
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”.
It is only some that can be led by the Spirit of God. There are two kinds of people in the kingdom of God, and they are the children of God and the sons of God. In Romans 8:16, the bible says “the Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are the children of God”. But in Romans 8:14, the word says “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. To be a child is to be born, but to be a son is to be matured and well developed. It is to have the spiritual senses fully activated.
For instance, the hearing of a child is not necessarily very developed and even when the child may hear properly, he may not be able to understand the meaning of the voice he hears. He may not be able to correctly discern the interpretation and direction of the voice that he hears. A child could hear a voice, see the source of the voice and not understand what the voice is saying nor what the voice expects of him.
However, a son is a mature and maturing person. A son is first matured in the word of God. He is someone who has become acquainted with the word of God. A son is one who has read, studied and really embraced the word of God. Secondly, a son is one who has grown in prayer fellowship with God. He is someone who has learnt to totally depend on the help of God, and has come to the place where he cannot do without the energy of the Holy Spirit that is acquired in the place of prayer fellowship. It is at this point that people like this will be able to correctly discern the voice of the Lord in their lives and follow the leading of the Spirit of God. Receive the grace to be a son in Jesus Name.
Action Points
i. Begin to make moves to develop yourself in the word of God and prayer.
ii. Ask the Lord to sharpen your hearing as you develop.
Prayer
-Lord, I enroll into your school of sons in Jesus Name.
-I subscribe to the energy of the Holy Spirit from today in Jesus Name.
Nugget
To be a child is to be born, but to be a son is to be matured and well developed, having the spiritual senses fully activated.
