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
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.
