Revelation of the Word:

THEME: SONS OF GOD

Luke 9:35 NKJV

“And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

INSIGHT

–During the Transfiguration God the Father declared Jesus’ divine identity, echoing the baptismal pronouncement and at the same time emphasizing His divine nature and commanding the disciples to listen to Him. This instruction directs believers to heed Jesus’ teachings above all others, including Moses and Elijah, who were also present during the transfiguration. The command underscores that Jesus is the ultimate revelation of God, requiring an obedient response from His followers.

SUMMARY

In Hebrew the word son is ben and huios in Greek which is broadly applied for male offspring, descendants, adopted sons, person of authority and members of a group. The theme on son explores divine authority, human relationship with God, faith, adoption, and transformation into God’s likeness. Son’s of God are born of Christ through loving God and keeping His commandments and by believing in Jesus Christ. We then have victory and overcome the world by believing in God (1 John 5:1-5). Son’s of God are called to love one another not just those who reciprocate their love but also our enemies (Matthew 5:44-46). Son’s of God are also called to be holy and without blamish before God in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will (Ephesians 1:4-5). As son’s of God we were dead in trespasses and God made us alive together with Him by His grace, He saved us and raised us up together and we are sitted together with Him in the heavenly places (Ephesians 2:5-7). If we then are seated with Christ in high places, then we are operating by His grace and His power released through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. If we declare that nothing is impossible with God, then we should not be afraid for nothing will be impossible for us if we believe in Jesus Christ.

PRAYER

Dear Abba Father thank You for loving us and giving us Your Beloved Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. Thank You loving Jesus for offering Your life for our own lives. Thank You for purchasing us at a price, we belong to You. May You help us to live lives worthy and pleasing to You and may You radiate Your glory upon us. May You forgive us every sin and iniquity and cleanse us with Your precious blood. We love our neighbours as ourselves, may You anoint us afresh with Your fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility and self-control, that our commitment will increase. Teach us precious Holy Spirit to wait on You and trust in You fully and unreservedly. May You grant us and all people Your gift of eternal life dear Jesus, that we may resurrect in the Day of You Lord. Dear Lord Jesus may You do exceedingly abundantly more than we can ask of or think of according to the power that is at work in us. Lord we trust in You and exalt You. We believe that You are able to do more than we can think of or imagine. We believe that we shall be extremely fruitful since we abide in You and You in us. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in Your house forever. May You bless us and keep us loving Father, may You shine Your face upon us and be gracious to us. May You lift up Your countenance towards us and give us peace. Amen
