This blessed morning, I will like us to look at
Discipline, Spanking as a further manifestation of inheritance for a son. Bastards are not disciplined freely by the father of the house. But the son rejoices, reaffirms and reassures himself in the father's discipline. Discipline trains a child up to be able to inherit the house.
"And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you, as unto sons, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the LORD, nor faint when thou art rebuked of Him;
For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son; whom He receiveth; if ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, of which all are partakers, then ye are bastards and not sons.
(Hebrews 12:5--8).
Part of our glorious heritage is the father's discipline. Let me ask you at this point: what spirit indwells your heart? Does the Spirit of God bear witness with your spirit that you are a child of God? Do you only rely on external testimony of men? Are you appearing as part of this family and yet within; you are very timid? What is your attitude to discipline? Are you a bastard who evades the Father's rod of correction...? Typical sons in the family all concur at this point.
" Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me...", "We know all things worketh together for good to those who love God..." They do not stay outside. No matter the rod, they forever cling and cleave unto God. They keep growing in order to be able to bear that heritage in their lives. (To be continued).
You are blessed as you meditate on GOD's word this morning and at all times in Jesus name.
Do have another great experience this new week, God shall grant all your desires that is line with His will; in Jesus most precious name!
