I want to look into this aspect of our lives about our christian growth. A lot of times as a child of God we refuse to grow into His image and likeness.
We most time always behave and act out the attributes of a child and not a son
We may want to know how children behave and i want to put some of the behaviour of children down here for us to see if we fit in.
A child is very selfish, being a mother that have grown children, i can attest to this. Give me give me is always a child's vocabulary. Are we doing this before our Creator and maker, that each time we go before Him, all we do is to ask. Even when He answers and give to us and He asks us to give a tenth, do we withhold it and give reasons why we can give now, but will do it later. When my chilfdren where small, they acted this out. Give them sweet and you are like, can i have just one there, the reply was most times know, as if in the first instance, it did not belong to me their mother that gave it out in the first place.
When God gave His son, He gave us all, and when He requires our service, do we say no.
Another is a child does not know how to serve, you are at their service twenty four seven.
Ask a child when they feel their busy with either their toys or whatever, and you will hear them say i am busy or i will do it later.
A child does not understand the language of service and so we find today in the body of Christ, a lot who are still being served. They never want to give back service unto their creator.
Also, children are takers, immature, not bothered about anyone but themselves, could be disobedient most times. Always dimminishes stuff and don't care to be tranformed into what they are suppose to be.
On the other side, you find a son is very mature. selfless, giving always. a son seek to be transformed to comply to what has been mapped out for him. A son will always be faithful, obedience to the purpose and call of God, trust worthy also has a servant heart.
A son wants to approach the throne room asking our Father what he or she will do, committed to the call also helping to fulfil the mandate.
Are we sons or children?
I am praying God to help us come to maturity in christ, so that we will go beyond the rudiments of salvation and go up to his upward calling for our lives. Those who have tasted and seen that the lord is good will make themselves available for the Master's use at this end time, because the harvest is truly ripe and labourers are still children.
God will move us beyond the level of seeking things to seeking His will and purpose for our lives.
It is well with us, as we seek to be His hands, eyes, legs, and mouth, so He can reach as many people He has purpose to save in this end time.
Have a bless time till i come your way again

I am a son
I manifest his gifts and i have spiritual discipline.
But some days i think i am a child, because i get mad and scream blue murder and curse the shit out of the poor soul who crossed me.
