THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD 1

15 FOR YOU DID NOT RECEIVE THE SPIRIT OF BONDAGE AGAIN TO FEAR, BUT YOU RECEIVED THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION BY WHOM WE CRY OUT, “ABBA, FATHER.”
16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, IF INDEED WE SUFFER WITH HIM, THAT WE MAY ALSO BE GLORIFIED TOGETHER.
18 FOR I CONSIDER THAT THE SUFFERINGS OF THIS PRESENT TIME ARE NOT WORTHY TO BE COMPARED WITH THE GLORY WHICH SHALL BE REVEALED IN US.
19 FOR THE EARNEST EXPECTATION OF THE CREATION EAGERLY WAITS FOR THE REVEALING [Manifestation] OF THE SONS OF GOD."
Romans 8:15-19 (NKJV)

• Sonship is about maturity. A baby in the things of the spirit could not be called a son.

• Being a son talks about maturity, and what differentiates a baby Christian and a mature Believer is being able to hear from God—being led by the Holy Spirit:
  "FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THESE ARE SONS OF GOD" (Romans 8:14 NKJV).
• It is those who are mature that manifest. If you submit to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, you cannot but manifest. The reason being that whatever God led you to do would command the attention of others, friends or foes, and make you relevant.
• The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of liberty:
  "NOW THE LORD IS THE SPIRIT; AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY" (2 Corinthians 3:17 NKJV). There is no bondage where He is. - You do not have to fear (Romans 8:15).
  Some who claimed to be born-again do believe that being led by the Holy Spirit is a bondage.
• They thought If they submitted their life and all they do to the leadership of the Holy Spirit, they would not be free to do whatever they want.
• God will not lead astray; He would not lead you into errors or failures. He is a faithful God, He cannot mismanage your life and destiny.
• If you live by the flesh, that is, you follow the dictates of the flesh, It would end in destruction—death (Proverbs 14:12; Romans 8:6).
• Someone who is being led by the flesh cannot fulfil the purpose or plan of God for his or her life (Romans 8:5,8).
• Being carnal or being led by the flesh makes you an enemy of God. Carnality would make you detest the leadership of God through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:7,8).
• Some, even those who professed to be born-again, have drawn plans for their lives and they would not want God to change those plans.
• They have the thoughts that If they submitted wholeheartedly to the leadings of God, their plans would be changed or disrupted; but they would not want that. They are rigidly committed to whatever they had planned for their lives.
• The fear of not wanting their plans to be changed or disrupted made them unsubmissive to the leadership of God through the Holy Spirit. Thus, they could not manifest because they are not being led by Him—they wanted to have their own way.
• One thing which such who claimed to be Believers failed to know is, It is only
  God who teaches and leads to make profit: "THUS SAYS THE LORD, YOUR REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL: “I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD, WHO TEACHES YOU TO PROFIT, WHO LEADS YOU BY THE WAY YOU SHOULD GO" (Isaiah 48:17 (NKJV).

• To manifest in life; ministry, business, or whatever, It has to be by the leading of God.

• A Believer who would be outstanding, and be a leading figure in his or her field of endeavour, had to submit to the leadership of God.
• Being submissive to the leading of God completely might be demanding and challenging at times, this might be the reason why some would not want it.
• God is thorough and could be considered a perfectionist. However, obedience to His leadings make life colourful and meaningful—It makes you fulfil in life.
• The manifestation of whoever is submissive to God wholeheartedly would be with sufferings and challenges.
• You cannot manifest without having a story to tell. The suffering which is the story, would precede the glory. There would be no glory without any story.
• Whatever you have to pass through in a bid to do God's Will, should be gladly and submissively done. When you want to be led by God in whatever you wanted to do, some believers would say you are spiritualising what you should not.
• Whatever you would pass through to do God's Will or to receive directions about what to do, or whatever, cannot be compared with the results of your obedience—the glory of being led by Him (2 Corinthians 4:17).

• You will MANIFEST and fulfil the purpose why you are sent here on the Earth in Jesus' name.

• You will not the earth unfulfilled in Jesus' name.
• You will not die before your time. And you will totally accomplish the purpose of God for your life in Jesus' name.
• And should there be any ailment in your body, receive your healing now in Jesus' mighty name.
  Peace!

STEPS TO SALVATION
• Take notice of this:
IF you are yet to take the step of salvation, that is, yet to be born-again, do it now, tomorrow might be too late (2 Corinthians 6:1,2; Hebrews 3:7,8,15).
a. Acknowledge that you are a sinner and confess your Sins (1 John 1:9); And ask Jesus Christ to come into your life (Revelation 3:20).
b. Confess that you believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord, and that you confess it with your mouth, Thus, you accept Him As your Lord and Saviour (Romans 10:9,10).
c. As you took the steps A and B your name is written in the Book of Life (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:8).

• If you took the steps As highlighted above, congratulations, It means you are saved—born-again. Join a Word based church in your area and Town or city, and be part of whatever they are doing there. Peace!
