- Adoption Cements Our Primary Purpose. Our sonship is legalized
Scripture: Ephesians 1:5
Ephesians 1:5 says, “…having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,…” Number four of the Sonship endowments is adoption and adoption cements our primary purpose. We become legal sons and daughters. That sets our Family status as God’s very own in place. It is the very first thing that is declared as God’s purpose for us. We accept our Sonship and become unshakeable in the fact that we have been adopted by God and we are fully His. Now we are sons and daughters of the Most High, exactly like Jesus was and is! That is only a challenge to our minds. It is not a challenge to our hearts. Our heart wants to say yes, of course we are! I am a son and I will walk side by side with my elder brother Jesus. We are sons and daughters and we can have the same relationship with the Father that Jesus had. That is the purpose. That was God’s first purpose for us. Other purposes unfold. The first purpose demands we take our place as a son and daughter of the Most High and we don’t let anyone argue us out of it. True Biblical faith comes from a place of being in a relationship with God—a legal relationship that comes with privileges, inheritance, and anointing. All originated with God Himself. This relationship also comes with responsibility! These endowments are critical for us developing the relationship that God intended us to have so we can further accomplish our appointed purpose in the last days.
- Repent for any person you have worked but did not give care e.g. you paint the wall beautifully but left the floor stained with paint drops, or wash dishes but chipped the drinking glass rims. Repent for areas where you have not left things better than you found them. Repent for depleting rather than replenishing that which was given into your hands to steward. (Gen 1:26-28, Gen 2:15)
- Ask for grace to leave people and places in a better spiritual state than you found them; even as righteous Job did. (Job 29).
- Pray for the grace to improve every part of creation that you are manifested in. Pray that you will leave things, people, and places better physical state than you found them. (Gen 39:1-6)
