Are You Manifesting the 'Sonship' Of God?

Romans 8: 19 Amp– “For (even the whole) creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God’s sons to be made known (waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship”.

This scripture never ceases to fascinate me because you and I are the sons that the scripture is talking about and I am wondering – why is creation waiting for us to manifest sonship or could there be something we need to be and are not?

To manifest sonship is to manifest the nature of God. It is to allow the light of God shine through us. It is to be God here on earth. The manifestation of sonship must be really important to God because it is to manifest Jesus thereby destroying the works of the devil. God’s ultimate purpose in sending Jesus is that he may destroy the works of the devil.

I John 3: 8b – “but when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the son of God came to destroy the works of the devil”

Whenever the son of God is revealed, it is the light of God shining in darkness and darkness has to give way so Jesus puts an end to the works of the devil wherever He is manifest. This suggests that manifestation of sonship will definitely enthrone the will of God on earth as it is in heaven.

It is sad to note that despite the number of Christians that there are on earth, evil appears to be getting stronger. The question we need to ask ourselves is this – are we manifesting as sons of God? The bible says the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church but it appears to me that the gates of hell are prevailing. The church is barely breaking into the kingdom of evil. Instead of us pushing back the forces of darkness, they appear to be pushing the church back. Isn’t that sad?

It can’t be okay to say we are born again and not behave like we are sons. It is of utmost importance that we reveal the nature of God. The sons of God must begin to imbibe the culture that is taught in the bible and yield to the Holy Spirit to help us as we get conformed to that image. Like a preacher once said – satan is not worried about the number of people that say they are born again and even attend church regularly, he is worried about those who actually conform to and manifest the nature of God. A man that just says he is born again and yet continues in sin is a liar. According to the scripture above, he belongs to the devil.

The time has come to resist the devil and chose to manifest sonship. The time has come to be tired of living in sin though you have proclaimed publicly that you are born again. It is time to push the enemy and not let him prevail against the church. We have to manifest sonship. That is who we are and who we will ever be. We can not light a lamp and put it under the bushel. It is time for our light to begin to shine. The earth and all that is in it, is waiting for you and I to reveal the God that we carry on the inside of us.

  1. Dear Pastor B,
    Thank you for this reminder.
    Yes,as children of GOD we must let our light shine in this world of darkness. We must let our conduct and attitude glorify GOD and consequently bring a change in the lives of people around us-Rom 12 vs 17-21. We must continue to conquer the evil with the good.
    But know this pastor B, we shouldnt forget the fact that we are in the last days, and all the evils we see around are features of the last days as prophesised in 2Tim 3 vs 1-7.
    We however have an assurance from the lord Jesus- He has conquered the world...the gate of hell can never prevail over his conquest. This is the confidence we have in him.
    As his children let us continue to hope for the future he has promosed us... A time will soon come when the will of GOD shall take place on this earth as it is in heaven. Then GOD'S purpose in the begining will fully be realised... for not a word from what HE had uttered will return back to HIM without fulfillment.
    May the grace of our lord Jesus christ who is our advocate in the presence of the father continues to keep us all away from sin and temptation- Amen

  2. Sometimes I feel sorry for the earth, it seems she might have to wait for ever.

    We are meant to shine the light of God as Christians, but the issue is we are too busy shinning our own light. Unfortunately our own light has no impact in the world, it doesn't dispel any darkness and it certainly doesn't destroy the works of the devil.

    Christians are too busy promoting themselves to promote God. There isn't much space left in our hearts for Christ to shine through. So now in churches the flesh is shinning forth powerfully and quenching the Holy spirit powerfully too.

    It is simply not politically correct to manifest as sons of God when you can manifest as a star, networker, power dresser etc. You spoil your chances of belonging to the hip group in church if you are too spiritual.

    Yet the bible says friendship with world is enmity with God, it says those who are in the flesh cannot please God. We are truly in the last days, the bible says even the very elect will be deceived. We have to be discerning in these times. God will help us all in Jesus name.

  3. Jesus said in Jn 14:12 - Greater works than these shall ye do; because I go unto my Father.

    It is truly time for We christians to step out and do greater works than Jesus did.

    Thanks for this refresher
