BENEFITS OF SONS

Memorise: "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God" (Ps 92:13)

Read: Psalms 92:12-14

You can be anything you want before the Almighty God. You can be just a creature, a dog or a cow. You can go beyond being a mere creature to becoming a servant. Being a servant gives you more personal access to God. But you could go yet another step - to becoming a son of God. Sons have tremendous opportunities that servants do not have. As a son of God, you become a co-heir with Christ. That means all God has jointly belongs to Jesus and you. Besides, John 8:35 says sons abide in the house forever. No wonder David in Psalm 23:6 says, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever". He could say so because he had a sonship relationship with the Lord. For such sons, even after leaving planet earth, Jesus promises to prepare His Father's house for them to stay throughout eternity (John 14:1-3). Sons have eternal right to God's house. Are you a son of God?


If you abide in God's house, you would automatically flourish. Psalm 92:13 says, "Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God". Beyond being rich or wealthy, you can flourish. Age will not erode your opportunities or harvests. In fact, the older you are, the more flourishing you become. This is not for those who visit God's house. It is not for servants but for sons. Some people endure going into God's house or presence. If they were asked to come for a big contract at 9 am, they would be there by 7 am. But if invited to meet with the King of kings for 8 am, they will stroll into church by 10 am. This attitude hinders people from attaining the heights they were meant to achieve. If you find it difficult to stay in God's presence, you can be sure you cannot have access into His Heavenly home. Those who would enter Heaven must desire to enter that city not made with hands (Heb 11:10, 16). It far excels the best of planet earth to the extent that it is simply incomparable. Do you qualify for Heaven? To what extent do you long for Heaven? How much do you crave to be in God's presence? How much do you enjoy worshipping the Lord? May you make it to this glorious planet in Jesus' Name.

Action point
If your relationship with God is below that of a son, you can ask for an upgrade.
