TOPIC: UNDERSTANDING YOUR SONSHIP IN CHRIST
SCRIPTURE: But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. John 1:12.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Whose son you are determines the privileges you can enjoy in life.
You are welcome to the month of February, the second month in the year 2021, our year of Release, Recovery and Replication. In this second month, you shall see unusual manifestation of the Recovery Power of God in your life in Jesus’ Name.
It has been confirmed that whose son you are determines the privileges you can enjoy in life. Even though everyone is meant to live and work for their personal achievements, your parentage is a major determinant of your privileges in life.
Let me give you an example: children born into the British Royal family are “sentenced” to success because of who gave birth to them. They do not have financial worries or other worries in life simply because of the family they were born into.
This is another example: children of diplomats do not need to beg for visa into the country where their parents represent their home country as ambassadors or high commissioners. This is because their parents’ position as diplomats automatically made room for them. A diplomat and his family members are entitled to free diplomatic visa. By virtue of the position of their parents, children of diplomats don’t need to appear anywhere or struggle to get visa into the country where their parents are serving.
In the same way, there are many benefits you enjoy as a Christian because of being a child of the Most High God. The benefits or privileges of being born into an earthly royal family or having parents that are diplomats are nothing compared to the benefits of being a child of the King of kings and the Lord of lords.
My counsel is, know whose child you are. Know that you are a child of the Most High God. This is because a person whom God has given honour, and does not understand it, is like the beast that perishes (Psalms 49:20). That will not be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Whose son you are determines the privileges you can enjoy in life.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Study God’s Word consistently to understand who you are.
2. Maximize the privileges and benefits of your sonship in Christ Jesus.
PRAYER: Thank You Lord for opening my eyes to know who I am. Help me to maximize the privileges and benefits of being your child, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

AMAZING FACT: Lions can see six times better in the dark than other mammals. This is why they see their prey even in the dark. What an amazing characteristic!
PROPHETIC DECLARATION/WORD: As the child of the King of kings, I decree that the privileges of His children be your portion in Jesus’ Name.
