SONS ARE SPIRIT-LED – Saturday May 6th
2017
Memorise: For as many as are
led by the Sprit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:14
Read: Romans 8:13-14 (King
James Version)
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye
through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the
sons of God.
Bible in one year:
Deuteronomy 4, Jeremiah 26:12-24, Hymn: Sing hymn 15
MESSAGE:
“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the
words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63
To a
natural man, the words of Jesus Christ and the message of the cross are all
foolishness (1st
Corinthians 2:14). A person who is not living in the Spirit cannot
comprehend the message of Jesus Christ because it originates from the Holy
Spirit. This is why it takes the Holy Spirit to enlighten the eyes of a natural
man’s understanding and convict his heart, before he can accept Jesus Christ
into his life. To live in the Spirit, you need the Holy Spirit to quicken you.
It is His work to make you alive and to strengthen you spiritually. When you
are down or tired, if you pray in the spirit long enough, you will find the
required strength to undertake the assignment ahead of you. Every assignment
that God has for you is the first spiritual and then physical. This is why you
cannot effectively perform a divine assignment using only physical means. Even
when you have to undertake the physical aspects of a divine assignment, you
need spiritual stamina or input to be effective.
Moreover,
if you live in the Spirit, you should also be led by the Spirit. Who leads you
reveals who owns you (Romans 6:16). Open Heavens 2017 Saturday 6 May
2017:-Sons are spirit led. To understand what it means to be led by the Spirit,
read up the account of the operations of the Holy Spirit in the life of Philip
in Acts
8:26-40. If you are saved and you barely receive divine guidance
from the Holy Spirit, you are still a babe in the Kingdom; but if you are
regularly led of the Holy Spirit – meaning you hear His voice and fellow His
instructions – then you have most likely attained the level of maturity in the
faith where you can be called a son (Hebrews 5:11-14). God is looking for sons and
not just babes! There are several Kingdom assignments that God wants to give
out, but He is looking for sons to take them up. Sons hear His voice and obey
promptly, but babes find it difficult even to recognise God’s voice. Rccg Open
Heavens 2017. Sons are guided by the Holy Spirit into all truth, because they
can accept it and run with it, but babes cannot stand certain truths (John 16:12-13).
If there are some truths from God’s word that can make you to turn back from
following the Lord, you are still a babe and not a son yet. The word of God
contains depths of truth. While babes read through it without getting much,
sons carefully go step by step through it to harness the volumes of truth
contained in it. Are you a babe or a son?
Prayer Point
Father, give me ears that hear
Your Spirit, and give me a heart that follows His leading.
