Between a child and a Son

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6

When a child is born, he is born fully packaged for what heaven has designed him to be. However, he has to grow to become a Son for the full manifestation of heaven’s design about him. Until a child grows into a son, he looks ordinary. Jesus even came to this world as a child for the purpose to bring salvation to this world. He grew up like a normal child and was recognized as a carpenter. He looked ordinary to his friends and the people He grew up with.  He was not only growing physically, but He was growing in wisdom and in favor until He became a Son to be who God wanted Him to be.

“Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.” Mark 6:3

“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all” Galatians 4:1

Beloved, the child in you must grow to become a son if you are going to be who God wants you to be. All the training, the experience, the contact with people are supposed to help you grow into becoming a son. Do not be discouraged if you are not there yet. Learn from what you are going through but do not be tied down by it. As we are celebrating the birth of Christ, be convinced that you have been born for a purpose and as you grow in grace and in knowledge, the purpose of God shall be fulfilled in your life.

May the child in you grow to becoming a son in the name of Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God make me what you want me to be in Jesus name.
