SONSHIP

Dear Believer in Christ, hearing God should be your default lifestyle


and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. 
Isaiah 30:21 KJV 


Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left. 
Isaiah 30:21 NLT 


When Christ walked the earth it was evident He had a vibrant relationship with the Father. Say, you identify as a Christian i.e one who is Christ -like. That means you supposedly lay claim to having a relationship with God abi? And you don't hear Him? How?


Believer, you're supposed to talk to Him about everything! Hear His opinion about everything! Follow His leading about everything! I said everything. It's what the Word says!


"For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they're the sons of God..."


The true children of God are those who let God’s Spirit lead them. 
Romans 8:14 ERV 


See what the bible is saying: You have to be one who's being led (by the Spirit) to be called a son!


You're not letting yourself be led by the spirit of God and you're calling yourself His son?


Something is not aligning.


It's apparent the qualification for a certain quality of sonship (the true one) is being led by the spirit. Or am I interpreting wrongly?


You're shouting I'm God's child, are you being led by Him?


Your adoption into the Divine family will not reach 'maturity' if you don't let Him be the one leading you.


I'm not saying the quality of your salvation is fake but your place in the heavenly family is like that of a visitor. You have no strong family ties, and that's an anomaly!


This hearing is hinged on relationship. You can't lay claim to being a Christian if you don't have a working relationship with God. For it's in relating closely that your hearing Him developed. It's in hearing Him that you're led. It's your being led that marks you as a son!


Is it normal to be someone's son and not have a tangible relationship with them, be unable to hear their voice or refuse to seek and follow their guidance?


Is it normal to be born into a family and not have a good relationship with your father? Oh, it happens but that is not and should never be the norm!


The ideal is that there should be sweet fellowship and interaction between you and your dad. You go to Him for parental guidance, he instructs you and you duly take the advice. You spend time together, you know his likes and dislikes, you can recognize his voice when he calls you. That's how it's meant to be between you and Father God too.


Leave that distance and step into intimacy

Come close, draw nearer.

Seek to hear Him, to be led by Him, to do His bidding.


It's the child who's closer to the Father/ parent who will enjoy the most attention. She's the one who'll seem to get all the best presents when Daddy comes home. He's the one who it'll seem Daddy listens most to.


This child is 'Daddy's pet'. He is the one who does all daddy bids and tends to tell on the others (to their taunts and disdain most times).


This is not the most legitimate child. This is just the child who has stayed closer to Daddy.


Don't 'grow' up and grow away from Abba. Draw closer, grow closer, Daddy wants your fellowship


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.” 
Romans 8:15 NIV
