MANIFESTING AS A SON: MUST READ


Are you a child of God? Have you been begotten of the father? Then show it. We live in a time where there are more professors of the faith than possessors of it. Many profess to have been saved. They shout the loudest hallelujahs, but when they must demonstrate the power, their emptiness is exposed. 2 Timothy 3: 5 warns us to flee from those who have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof.



As a true child of your Father, you ought to be like him. After all, he made you in his own image and after his likeness, the likeness that has been restored in Christ Jesus. The world around us cannot be deceived. They know the life Jesus lived. They have access to the Bible and the sermons that are preached daily. These have formed the basis for what they expect from today’s Christians. Are you saying you are indeed like Christ?

Acts 11: 26 tells us how the people in Antioch started calling the members of the early church ‘Christians.’ It was a nickname, based on the fact that they were living the way Jesus did. Today, we call ourselves Christians, but we should rather let the power of God in us do the introductions. Today many believers claim to be Spirit- filed and to speak in tongues, but they have no power. They can’t even heal someone with an ordinary headache by laying hands on them and quoting Scripture. On the contrary, they may be making it worse, because they don’t know what they’re doing.

Oh believer, where is your power? Peter and the other apostles were able to establish the Christian faith among many nations, because they knew God, the source of real power.

Ask yourself if there are people with whom you aren’t on speaking terms.Call them or go to see them and make amends before the end of this year.

‘For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.’ (Rom 8:19)
