The
Spirit Of Adoption
Romans 8:15 “The
Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again;
rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba,
Father.”
What a powerful scripture from the book of
Romans! We don't live in fear but we live in connection to. Not like the connection
we have on Face Book or Twitter where you have 752 friends and 3,000 followers
and you know about 10 of them personally…it is a connection that places us as
sons and daughters of the Most High God. The Spirit of adoption is the Spirit
that allows us to be children of God. God’s love toward us as his children
comes through the Holy Spirit. As the Spirit persuades us, we become part of
God’s family. The challenge for us is to accept that we are his children and
then behave in a way that reflects that we are his children. Sons of the King
and daughters of the King don't act like
commoners; they act like royalty because they are royalty. Reflect on who you
are? Reflect on how you behave. Do you act like children of the King or do you
act like a commoner? If you behave like a child of the King…good…. now show
someone else the way, but if you act like a commoner…check yourself, pray, fast
(if you need to) and allow God to transform you from a commoner to a child of
the King.
Let’s pray, Father we are so grateful that we are
children of the King, we are so grateful that by your grace we are saved. Help
us today to walk not as commoners but help us today to walk as royalty. We love
you for what you’ve did for us and now we ask that you help us to live in such
a way as to reflect how much we love you, in the way we walk and in the way we
talk. To your name be the glory, honor and praise. In Jesus name we do pray…Amen!
Have a great day!
