Open Heaven [18 October 2018] A Son Indeed?

A SON INDEED? Thursday October 18 2018
MEMORIZE: But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons. Hebrews 12:8
Read Hebrew:- 12:4-11(KJV)
Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.
11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Message:-
Discipline is the act of training a person to obey rules and follow instructions, which sometimes involves corrective punishment for wrongdoing. The bible clearly establish that God excepts parents to discipline their children (Proverbs 23:13-14, Ephesians 6:4) Parents who failed in this responsibility suffered grave consequences, as seen in the example of Eli (1st Samuel 2:27-34).

 Being a just God, he cannot require discipline from earthly parents and fail in his responsibility to discipline his own children, as the Heavenly Father. All act of disciplining God’s children ultimately come from God, and the methods used are determined by Him. However, His motive is always love, while His goals remain making us partakers of His holiness (Hebrew 12:10). God discipline His children as part of His covenant with them. Consequently, an only disciplined children of God has access to His covenant blessings. Job 36:10-11 says:                                              

‘’He openeth also there ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity if they obey and serve him, the shall spend their days in prosperity, and there years in pleasures.’’

‘’But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.’’





Consequently, if you notice that you are getting away with sin and immorality without any type of warning or discipline of God, then you can be sure that heaven does not reorganize you as a true child of God. As soon as a person accepts Lordship of Jesus Christ, he or she became a genuine member of God’s family, and the love of God will immediately kick-start the process of discipline in order to bring the new convert to perfection in due time. May you always cooperate with God for the purpose of receiving proper discipline in Jesus’ Name.

I NEED THEE EVERY
HOUR
I need Thee every hour,
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.


Chorus
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
Every hour I need Thee;
Oh, bless me now, my Savior!
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour,
Stay Thou nearby;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.

I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain;
Come quickly and abide,
Or life is vain.


I need Thee every hour,
Teach me Thy will;
And Thy rich promises
In me fulfil.


I need Thee every hour
Most Holy One;
Oh, make me Thine Indeed,
Thou blessed Son.
