GOD’S CHILDREN
- Sis. Stella Dhinakaran
A young man surrendered his life completely to the Lord. His unquenchable thirst for the Holy Spirit made him not only receive the anointing in an immeasurable way but God also gave him the gift of prophecy and used him as a tool to transform others as His children.
Once, a pastor in a certain town fell sick. He kept pondering, “Whom shall I invite to share God’s Word in the worship service?” Simultaneously, God looked at the young man to whom He had granted the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and told, “Son! You hardly have time to catch a particular train going to this town. However, the train will depart only after you board it. Upon reaching that town, you will meet your friend near a bridge. This is the sign for you to know that I am sending you to that place.” That young man was pleasantly surprised because everything happened as foretold. Led by the Spirit, he reached the church. The pastor who was sick jumped with joy on seeing this young man. The young man narrated all that the Lord told him to that pastor. As desired by the pastor he ministered God’s word in the Sunday Service and the Lord used that young man mightily. Many young people accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour and became His children through his message.
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14). God predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ by Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1:5-7; 2:1). He has not given us the spirit of bondage but the spirit of adoption so that we can call Him “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15).
Further, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, says the Bible (John 1:12). When we receive this experience of becoming His children, His joy is limitless! We also share this great joy in our hearts.
Dear Friend, the Lord loving calls you to receive this experience of becoming His beloved child. This experience alone can grant you true happiness on this earth! Today, yearn for such a blessed experience and become an heir of God through the Lord Jesus Christ (Galatians 4:6, 7).
Prayer:
Loving Lord,
Give me this immortal joy of becoming Your child in my heart and accept me as Your own. From today onwards, give me the blessed privilege to bring others to Your divine presence.
I ask this in the blessed name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen.
