Memorise: The spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit,
that we are the children of
God.
Romans 8:16
Read: 1st John 3:7-10, 7 Little children, let no man deceive
you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the
children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither
he that loveth not his brother.
Bible in one year: Joshua 13:8-15:63, Job 36:17-33
It is very important to know our identity in Christ Jesus;
it makes all the difference in our lives. If you don’t know your status, you
will be denied many things. Your identity will help you know what you are
qualified for and what you can do. When people ask who
you are, the response you give them will determine the level
of respect they accord you from that moment on. Who you are determine your
actions. There were certain things you used to do before you become born again
that you can no longer do. I know that I am the Son of the Most-High God. My
father rules over the Heavens and the Earth. He owns all you can see, both
visible and invisible. This is why I don’t ask my father for peanuts, I ask Him
for big things, if they are not available at the moment of my asking, He will
create them just for my sake.
My heavenly father owns everything and they belong to me.
Joy, peace, riches, victory, success, healing, anointing, exploits are all my
rights in Him. The fact that you are also a child of God should inform you that
you are not permitted to stay in bondage. If you claim to have an assurance of
your sonship in Christ and you are still a slave to fear, then something must
be wrong somewhere.
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to
fear; but ye have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba
Father.”
Romans 8:15
Many people do not understand when I call God ‘Daddy’ or
when I say “my father said”. They see God as mystery that cannot be
communicated with, but He is my father and He speaks with me. When the Holy
Spirit guides you, you cannot make mistakes, and that is why we cannot afford
not to be led by Him. It also assures you of your sonship in God. Having this
assurance, you are to live holy.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed
remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
1st John 3:9
You cannot be toying with sin and expect to maintain your
sonship in God. Sin is a destroyer. No matter how big the temptation to sin is,
there is a seed in you that gives you the power to overcome. Joseph knew who he
was in God and so he said “how can I do this great wickedness and sin against
God.” Once you know who you are and where God is taking you to, you will not
live carelessly. The moment you surrender you life to Jesus, your status
changes. You become a member of the highest royal family in the universe and
you possess the greatest weapon against the devil.
If you are not saved, your status cannot change.
