A SON HONOURS HIS FATHER

DAILY GRACE FRI.10TH FEB, 2017 A SON HONOURS HIS FATHER MALACHI 1:6 Beloved, lets thank God for His tender mercies and grace towards us and household members. Its a great privilege to see the light of today, indeed He is faithful to Hos words (open your mouth and give him thanks now for few minutes). "A son honours his father, and a servant his master. If then I am the Father, Where is My honour? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says the LORD of hosts To you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ln what way have we despised Your name?" Truly, we are both sons and servants to God. For He makes his angels spirits and his ministers a flame of fire (Heb. 1:7). Lets briefly discuss on these two levels of relationship with God; a) As sons: God has called us into sonship through His own dear Son; for He is not ashamed to call us his dear brothers and sisters even as he remains the first Son of God. This is the first level we relate with God and this occurs at the point when we accept Jesus as our Saviour (2 Cor. 6:18). It is also at this point that God becomes our FATHER . Also, He saves us from the power and dominion of sin (Rom. 6:14, Titus 2:10-12) and then give us the power of the Holy Ghost for the manifestation of sonship that we are in God through His Son, Jesus (John 1 :12, Acts 1:8, Psa. 32:8). It is at this point that we move to the next phase. b) As servants (Col. 1:25): At this phase, God starts committing resources or assignments into your hands to test your faithfulness and also to give you the privilege to grow. The yardstick for growth here is faithfulness in little things. He will expose you to another man's work to see how you will manage it and test your faithfulness. If you fail then you can't move to the next phase. Hence, it is required in stewardship to be found faithful. As sons and as servants of God, one thing is key and it is that you honour Him. There are several reasons you need to honour Him all of these reasons are for your benefits. To be continued.... Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Oh Lord my Father help me to honour you henceforth as your son and servant in Jesus' name. Read, Reflect and rebroadcast to bless someone. God will @ you in return.
