TEXT: Romans 8:14-19Amplified Bible (AMP)
14 For all who are allowing themselves to be led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship] by which we [joyfully] cry, “[a]Abba! Father!”
16 The Spirit Himself testifies and confirms together with our spirit [assuring us] that we [believers] are children of God.
17 And if [we are His] children, [then we are His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His spiritual blessing and inheritance], if indeed we share in His suffering so that we may also share in His glory.
18 For I consider [from the standpoint of faith] that the sufferings of the present life are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us!
19 For [even the whole] creation [all nature] waits eagerly for the children of God to be revealed.
Sometimes, the circumstances of life makes it so hard for some people to imagine a life full of bliss but I dear to say, that for a user of this devotional, the Lord is saying to you, in the space of five years people would not believe that you are the same person. It looks like you are a nobody right now, but all God wants you to do is to stand for Him. People may think you are crazy but stand. Too many of us have given up too quickly. Refuse to give up, God is saying to you today my child just do all you can to stand and then nothing will be able to stand against you.
Some years back, not many people believed in what I was doing, but I decided to hold on to my dream. I refused to give up on what the Lord spoke to my heart. When others left I held on and now things are different, as God has brought The Glorious Fountain Ministries to an unimaginable place for many and an enviable place desired by others, but this is not the ultimate.
Your light must be made manifest for all to see (Matt. 5:14). Do not listen to peoples’ failure stories, even if this is a norm in your family, receive the power to break that stronghold of failure now in Jesus name. Learn from the life of Jabez by taking advantage of every divine help you can get and then do all you can to break free from the gripe of a slavish mentality.
