I was literally in solitude enjoying God all the way.
I didn’t want to leave the presence of God. I just wanted to swallow God if it were possible.
I took my spiritual baby steps with joy. I started eating the Scriptures with alacrity, like a new born who needed the milk from his mother to survive.
I knew I needed strength from God, Spiritually, psychologically, and physically, so I sat with the Bible to draw strength from there. I didn’t rush to read the whole Bible at once, but one verse per day. I took the Scriptures like daily pills that I couldn’t afford to miss. And gradually, like a plant that was constantly watered, I grew spiritually. I became charged in the Holy Ghost. The teenagers and youths in the house knew something was happening with me, as I sat praying for hours on most days. I was particular about getting to know God and getting close to Him, than impacting the teenagers… I had a dream that made things really clear to me.I saw a baby who I carried in my hands, the baby was a replica of me. Days passed by as I carried the baby in the dream, he kept losing weight till he became like a skeleton in my hands. It suddenly dawned on me that I was starving the baby. I reached out for a feeding bottle that had milk in it and gave it to the baby. As the baby sucked on the bottle, he started growing back and his face began to radiate. He was all smiles as well…
Immediately, I woke up, the Spirit of God interpreted the revelation to me…
The baby was my Spirit man that needed to be fed. �During the course of my spiritual feasting on the WORD of GOD, I also encountered God in another dimension…
“I want you to be my Son and not just my Servant” I heard those words during
one of my prayer time and I wondered what that meant.
“Most Christians Pride themselves to be “My Servants”, but I want Sons and Daughters.
The relationship between a Servant and his or her master is an official one…. just basic errands, while the relationship between a father and a son is cordial.
A father can also send His Son on errands. Chuks, I want you to become my Son before raising me other sons and daughters… Too many servants …”
For days, I ruminated over the issue. I had grown up hearing the Word “Servant Of God” as a dignified title , but what I was listening to on the Inside of me was saying otherwise… I explained my encounter to Favour and as always, she gave me an in-depth lecture on what I was receiving from God…
“Yes, Chuks… there are a lot of Servants of God as Opposed to Children of God. Meanwhile, Bible has declared us Children of God….
1st John 3 verse 1
states “See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be
called children of God! And that is what we are! “
“Hmm…”
“So Chuks, we are first sons and daughters of God, before Servants. Christians who are more concerned about serving God than having a personal relationship with God are mere servants….
Most pastors, ministers, teachers of the Word, Mentors , Pastor’s wife, women leaders, teenage teachers only get close to God to get messages for others. They are like courier men and women, Servant who run errands….
Chuks, Do you notice Jesus referred more to Himself as the SON of God…?”
Favour gave me time to reflect on all that she said before she continued…
“Chuks, even as the administrator of this house,
I have disciplined myself to always have two hours of fellowship with God every day, before attending to the teenagers and youths in this house…
It is therefore important to develop a good relationship with God as your father..”
“How do I go about it? I mean how does one become a son or daughter of God?” I asked Favour….
