Don't remain a child.
Sunday, October 9th
“NOW WHAT I mean is that as long as the inheritor (heir) is
a child and under age, he does not differ from a slave,
although he is the master of all the estate;”
Galatians 4:1
If you are not able to function in your authority as a
Christian, it means you are a child spiritually. Children
are not able to function as masters because they are under
aged. This explains why some Christians are still subject to
sickness and diseases. Some of them are sense ruled;
controlled by their bodies. You ask them, why did you not
fast? They answer; it was because I was hungry. They are
sense ruled.
Galatians 4:3 says, “Even so we, when we were children, were
in bondage under the elements of the world:” Are you in
bondage to anything as a Christian? The Bible reveals that
it is only children who find themselves in bondage to the
elements of the world. If you are still bound to alcohol,
immorality or any other vice or bad habit, it is because you
are still a child spiritually.
So how do you break out of this phase? Acts 20:32
says, “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the
word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to
give you an inheritance among all them which are
sanctified.” Psalm 1:1-3 say, “Blessed is the man that
walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in
the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law
doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his
fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and
whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”
Prayer.
Dear Father, teach me to number my days that I may apply my
heart unto wisdom, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
For further study, read:
John 8:31, Galatians 5:1, Ephesians 6:14.
