My husband has done some preaching about sonship. The realization that God in fact is your Father and that you walk according to His will is a pretty freeing and great blessing.
For some people this will never come to pass. Those ‘hang ups’ some like to hide behind. Those ‘poor little ole me’ statements they only get you so far. They don’t get you a seat at the Father’s table.
Don’t you know the table is set and it’s time to sit down?
Pride is certainly a downfall for some; but for the child of God that knows His Father’s voice and walks in that direction people often mistake for sin. Because of the insecurity and abuse the accuser suffered at some point in their life; they consider it good enough to ignore the moving of the Spirit to a place of healing and peace. Because in My Father’s house there is fullness of joy, in My Father’s house there is a servant’s mindset, not a confused who’s better than who. In my Father’s house the heart is measured.
We like to focus on the fall of man and the original sin; but what happened a few pages more. Cain and Able, two brothers with very unique and special things to offer. One a talented gardener and able to produce many crops. It takes hard work, early mornings, discipline to farm. The other boy cared for livestock, involved in breeding and maintaining healthy cattle. There are different but also similar techniques here. In the body of Christ, the foot must not compare and think himself less than the hand. Likewise the nose must not look down on the knee. Because what would the body be if it was constantly fighting itself? Constantly twisted and causing trouble? Constantly gossiping? Not healthy. No growth and ugly. Don’t misinterpret this to mean unhealthy people are unhealthy Christians. It is quite opposite, people that have infirmities often overlook the healthy person’s appetite for destroying others. And those that may be looking otherwise healthy are actually awful and rotten inside.
Are you your brother’s keeper?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? And if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shall rule over him. Genesis 4:7
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. John 8:35
