Scripture: Jeremiah 35:15- from Servanthood to Sonship
Jeremiah 35:15 says, “I have also sent to you all My servants the prophets, rising up early and
sending them, saying, ‘Turn now everyone from his evil way, amend your doings, and do not go
after other gods to serve them; then you will dwell in the land which I have given you and your
fathers.’ But you have not inclined your ear, nor obeyed Me.’” Jesus came on the heels of all the
prophets including John the Baptist, who were all servants. But He came preaching the Kingdom
and Sonship and bringing a whole new dimension of Kingdom rule and reign. This passage
identifies for us again the transition that Jesus was announcing from servanthood to sonship. He
who is least in the kingdom is greater than he… The issue of being a son or a daughter means we
have a pattern to follow, and that pattern comes from Christ. He showed us what is available to a
son –from walking on the water to raising the dead to stilling the winds and the waves. All those
acts are fruit of walking in relationship with the Father as a son! We are the ones who are charged
with showing the fullness of Christ as He was in the Gospels, but also as He is in the book of
Revelation. There is a strong change toward the judicial when we see the activity of Christ in the
book of Revelation. What are we going to do in the days ahead as we begin to see fullness emerge?
It is obvious we have to make a transition in our thinking and shoulder the fullness of being sons
and daughters. It is God\’s call, it is God\’s timing and it is here now!
❖ The number 6 is the number of man.
❖ When God created the first righteous man (Gen 1:26-31); He saw that everything was very
good. Pray that the Lord will use you & yours, and His Church to make the difference
everywhere: anything that is already good will change to very good, you will always leave
people and places better than you met them (Joh 10:10, 1Joh 3:8)
❖ On the other hand, fallen man leaves everything and everyone he comes in contact with
worse than he met them (Gen 6:5-11, Eccl 7:27-29, Ps 106:29). Everywhere he goes he
attempts to do three major things: 1. Doing away with God, 2. Self-exaltation, 3. Selfglorification. If the number 6 represents each attempt, we end up with 666. This is the
number of the antichrist according to Revelation 13:18. Pray that you, your family,
business, the church, and the nations will be delivered from the influence of this mark of the beast until the appointed time.
❖ We are the ones who are charged with showing the fulness of Christ as He was in the
Gospels, but also as He is in the book of Revelation.
