ADOPTION

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

“We who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, we ourselves also

groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, the

redemption of the body.”

Yes, the whole creation which has, for this hope subjected

to futility also groans and waits for the manifestation of the

sons of God.

We are subjected to the vanity or futility that we encounter in

nature, the death and destruction,darkness and depravity present

in this age. However the Holy Spirit heralds the Future in God,

with God through Christ Jesus our Lord.

We are pioneers of hope as we wait for our adoption, that is the

redemption of our body.

We understand that we are redeemed by our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ and sealed with the Holy Spirit. We are now the

children of God. It does not yet appear what we shall be, but

when He appears we shall see Him as He is, for we shall be like

Him. Through the Holy Spirit, we experience the love of God

which is shed abroad in our hearts and we cry, Abba, Father!

We have witnessed the New Reality in Christ Jesus.

Unseen, yet very real!

We are saved. Based on this salvation we proceed to know

and anticipate. The physical, emotional, social, economic

aspects of our lives are lived under this knowledge and

anticipation.

We are made partakers of the divine nature by Christ Jesus

our Lord and Savior through the Holy Spirit according to

the will of the Father. Now, this moment and every minute

of this fleeting temporal life we are under the hope and

anticipation of the divine Now, the eternity that is His.

“For by hope we are saved: but hope that is seen is not

hope: for what a man sees why does he yet wait? But if

we hope for the unseen, then we wait with patience.”

Waiting with hope and patiently possible only with God.

God’s thoughts of eternity, new creation, freedom, wholeness

and holiness are only accessible through His Holy Spirit.

We are as Paul, determined to know only and focus on Jesus

and Him crucified and the Holy Spirit that raised Him from

the dead. The Spirit bears witness that we are children of God.

Through the Holy Spirit we experience the love of God poured

into our hearts and we express our hope, praise, thanks, love

and longing as we cry, Abba, Father!

HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!

The Spirit of Sonship

The Spirit of Sonship

For all who are led by the Spirit of God

are sons and daughters of God.

For the Spirit you have now received

is not a spirit of slavery to put you

once more in bondage to fear, but you

have received the Spirit of adoption

( the Spirit producing sonship) in the

bliss of which we cry, Abba ( Father)!

Daddy!

INSPIRATION FOR MEDITATION

Meditate on the following:

1) Upon receiving Jesus Christ as

our Lord and Savior and baptism

in the name of the Father, of the Son

and the Holy Spirit you receive the

Holy Spirit.

2) God’s love is has been poured out in

our hearts through the Holy Spirit Who has

been given us. ( Romans 5.5).

MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S CHILDREN

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

Please read MANIFESTATION OF GOD’S CHILDREN

 

For we know that the whole creation

groans and labors

with birth pains together until now.

Not only that but we also who have

the first fruits of the Spirit

even we ourselves groan

within ourselves

eagerly

waiting for the adoption

the redemption of our body.

For we were saved in this hope

but hope that is seen is

not hope for why does one still

hope for what he sees

But if we hope for what

we do not see we eagerly wait

for it with perseverence.

 

Likewise the Spirit also helps in

our weaknesses.

For we do not know

what we should

pray for as we ought,

but the Spirit Himself

makes intercession

for us with groanings

which can not be uttered.

Now He who searches the hearts

 knows what the mind of

the Spirit is, because He makes

 intercession for the saints

according to the will of God.

And we know that all things work

together for good to

those who love God, to those who

are the called according

to His purpose.

(Romans 8.22-28).

 POINTS FOR REFLECTION

1) The groaning and laboring of nature

2) The firstfruits of the Spirit

3) The redemption of the body

4) Waiting in hope

5) The description of hope

6) Help from  the Holy Spirit

7) Intercession by the Holy Spirit

The answers to these questions are vitally important.
