Don't Give Up In Doing Good

The life of Sons or Daughters of God is a unique one. Unique in the sense of not doing the conventional thing the average person on earth would do.


The world is filled with corruption and it is seen as a normal way of life. But Sons and Daughters of God live a non-corrupt way of life which makes them appear odd or sometimes gullible.

Galatians 6:7-10 says, 

"⁷Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. ⁸For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. ⁹And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. ¹⁰Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith."

Verse 8 makes it clear if we sow in the flesh we will reap corruption. But if we sow in the Spirit, we will reap everlasting life. The world sows in the flesh, going by the level of increasing corruption in the world.

On the other hand, we find out that the Sons and Daughters of God are to sow in the Spirit. This is not a normal way of life in this world. This was why Apostle Paul the Sons and Daughters of God not to be weary in doing good because it won't be appreciated at times. It could get to the point of even getting persecuted.

As Sons and Daughters of God, we must have at the back of our minds that in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.

Remember, we live in a fallen world and we are here on a mission. True, things could be discouraging, but by remembering the purpose of our calling and with the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will receive strength to keep on keeping on.


Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

The Dawn of a New Era

What does being a Son or Daughter of God or a true Christian mean? It is not just a title, like a doctorate or similar position. It is an identification of a different species, that may look like the regular people on earth, but this time from a different kingdom.

Sons and Daughters of God are not of this earth. They are of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.


The kingdom of this earth is the kingdom of the first Adam, but sadly ruled by the devil itself (ref.: 2 Corinthians 4:4), due to the fall of Adam.

The second reason Jesus came as man was to establish a new era, His kingdom. And anyone who confesses with their mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in heart that God raised Him from the dead, they will automatically be translated from the kingdom of this world to His kingdom (ref.: Romans 10:9; Colossians 1:13). All, these are possible because of the first reason Jesus came as a man was to free us from the bondage of sin by taking our place in exchange for His life (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21).

So, what are the Sons and Daughters of God meant to do here on earth. First of all Sons and Daughters of God are like soldiers of our Lord Jesus Christ because they are on a mission and need to be focused (ref.: 2 Timothy 2:3-4).

The whole world is coming to an end, and the devil who knows its time is near wants to make sure no one is saved. This is why it attacks the Sons and Daughters of God through distractions from things of this world, persecution from unsaved people and even some government, antagonism and more, just to discourage the Sons and Daughters of God and ensure the lost are not saved (ref.: John 15:18-25; 16:1-4).

The work of the Sons and Daughters of God is very crucial because they have all been sent by Jesus to spread the good news of salvation, thus letting people know that the world is coming to an end and they need to be saved to be translated into the kingdom of Jesus.

Sons and Daughters of God need to always meditate on the word of God day and night to keep up the spark of their faith in Christ Jesus in the leading of the Holy Spirit, who guides them into all truth, leading them on where to go and how to go about the mission.

They are not too entangled with things of this world because it is very enticing and distracting. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in, whom we are listening to.

The new era has begun already, but would properly be inaugurated in the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. We should not take things for granted, for no one knows the day or time our Lord Jesus will return (ref.: Matthew 24:36; 1 Thessalonians 5:2; 2 Peter 3:10).



Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

Don't Forget The Third Guy

Jesus Christ came for two reasons. The first one is to be a sacrifice on behalf of the whole world, thus taking the sin of the entire world upon Himself being the only one pure, righteous, and without sin (ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:21). But what is the second reason?


The second reason Jesus came to the world was to establish a new beginning with Himself through His resurrection. In order words, He is the last Adam. What does this imply?

This implies that there are two kingdoms. The kingdom of the first Adam of Genesis, who is dying off, and Jesus the life-giving kingdom (ref.: 1 Corinthians 15:45). It also implies that anyone born of Christ Jesus has the same nature as Jesus, the last Adam, just the same way we all once had the life of the first Adam, when we born were of him, born into sin. But anyone born of Christ Jesus is born into righteousness as His true nature.

Now, what happens after being born of Christ Jesus?

Jesus told His disciples when He was here on earth that it was better for them He went back to the Father, if not the Holy Spirit would not come (ref.: John 16:7).

For Jesus, the Holy Spirit is very important. He is one Jesus spoke of as the good things our Father in heaven would give us in Matthew 7:11 being revealed as the Holy Spirit in Luke 11:13.

The Holy Spirit is the one who leads us into all truth, and not speaking on His authority, but whatever He hears, He speaks (ref.: John 16:13).

The kingdom of Jesus, the last Adam will be spread by the Holy Spirit, this was why Jesus said the disciples should wait in the upper room for the coming of the Holy Spirit, because having received Jesus as Lord, you now have the Spirit of Jesus. But you need to be led into knowing your new identity, and, the purpose of your calling. This is where the Holy Spirit comes in.

The Bible says in Colossians 2:6, "In the same way you received Jesus our Lord and Messiah by faith, continue your journey of faith, progressing further into your union with him!" TPT. And the only way to get this done is by allowing the Holy Spirit to lead. But I've seen several Sons and Daughters of God drift away into the wisdom of the world through furthering their education.

Now, education is wonderful, but as a Son or Daughter of God, it is the Holy Spirit who leads us, tells us what we are to do, and how to go about it in line with the word of God.

The Holy Spirit is so important in our Christian growth. Without Him, we cannot accomplish our purpose as Sons or Daughters of God.

He reveals our action plan in line with the word of God we have meditated on. Don't take Him for granted, because in case we have forgotten He is God. This is why we function in the authority of the might of the Lord Jesus.

John 14:26 says "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you." The Holy Spirit is very informed, knows all things, and knows the end from the beginning. He is God! Allow Him to lead you, don't forget Him.




Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!

As To The Lord And Not To Man

When you do whatever the Lord asks, you glorify His name. And this also boosts your faith in Him.

Colossians 3:17 says, "And whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him." AMPC.


Our actions should deliberately focus on Christ Jesus, our guide and captain of our ship.

If we think we do things of our own accord we get stressed out because that is not our job or duty.

Humans or Sons and Daughters of God need a leader to show us what to do and how to go about it. This was why Jesus asked the disciples not to go out to preach until the coming of the Holy Spirit, who is one Spirit with Jesus, and every Son and Daughter of God.

Many times we choose to lead ourselves, when we can't see beyond our noses. But God who made us knows the end from the beginning and has individual purposes for our lives. And to think of it, this saves us a lot of stress. All we are to do is follow His leading.

Whatever we do always have a purpose or a reason. And the Lord is asking us to do things as though we were doing them for Him. Of course, the Holy Spirit is always there to guide us in whatever we do, even when we are stuck. This enables us to live the life of Jesus we have inherited because we are Christ-focused.

There are times we like a show-off, but really, that doesn't portray the life of Christ Jesus we inherited. And of course, we are to get to know who Jesus is more through meditation on His words and the leading of the Holy Spirit. The more we do this, the more we reflect Him, because to know Him is to know ourselves. And as we keep doing that, we effortlessly live His life.

So remember, He should always be on your mind in whatever thing you do, as it is to the Lord and not to man. And the Holy Spirit is always there in our times of trouble, to get us through the mess to a path that leads leads Christ Jesus.



Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
