God sent forth His
Son…to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the
adoption as sons.

A
Matter Of Spirit
|
|
As an heir of God, you have a rich inheritance. All the
blessings of your heavenly Father are yours!
“Well, Pastor Prince, if it’s true that I am an heir of God
because I’m His son, then why am I still not seeing the blessings?”
I asked the Lord the same question once. I said, “Lord, why is
it that there are believers who don’t seem to be blessed despite the fact that
they are Your sons and heirs?” The Lord said this to me, “It’s a matter of
spirit.” Then, He pointed me to Romans 8:15, NIV—“For you did not receive a
spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’” He was telling me that walking in His blessings has
to do with having a spirit of sonship.
How does the spirit of sonship operate? By the cry, “Abba, Father!” The Holy Spirit left the word Abba, meaning “Daddy” or “Papa,” untranslated in
Romans 8:15 so that we will know that God wants us to have an intimate
relationship with Him. Seeing God as Daddy and calling Him “Daddy” or “Papa”
removes any distance and breaks down every barrier between you and God. It
brings you into an intimate relationship with God and that’s how the spirit of
sonship operates.
So beloved, have a spirit of sonship. Don’t see God as an
impersonal, distant being who doesn’t really care how you feel. He isn’t just
Almighty God, He is also your Daddy! Have this sense of intimacy with Him all
the time and start to walk in a greater measure of your Daddy’s blessings!
