THE EARTH GROANS FOR YOU

JUICY JULY 2025: ABBA FATHER

DAY 14: THE EARTH GROANS FOR YOU

TEXT: ROMANS 8:14,19,29

BIBLE STUDY: JOHN 14

 

Dear Daughters of Abba, another day has dawned: Day 14 of Juicy July 2025. Oh, glory be to the One who never lets go, who holds us, helps us, and keeps calling us higher. What a Father! What a mercy! What a privilege to be found on this journey still. If you are still holding on, wow, congratulations! Keep on keeping on! It is the one who endures to the end that shall be saved. May His sufficient grace be activated over our lives in abundance in Jesus’ Name. Amen. 

 

NO LONGER SLAVES- Jonathan David

Let’s Prayerfully and Confidently Sing This Song. Replace ‘Child’ with ‘Son’ as you sing. Amen. 

OPENING PRAYER

Abba Father, we invite You into today’s session. Grant us Access, Abba! Take over. Take the whole atmosphere. Saturate this moment with Your presence, Lord. Break every chain, raise every weary heart, and fill us with Your fire again. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

 

Last year, July 2024, was a turning point for my family and me. We were confused and stranded, not knowing where to go next. Everything that brought us to where we were living had ended and it felt like the brook of Elijah had dried up. We knew we were relocating, but everything was uncertain. We didn’t know where to move to, and even if we did, we had no money to go, no money to settle, and no means to start afresh. It felt like everything had been lost and taken from us. We cried to God in desperation: “Lord, where do we go from here?”.

I wept over my journal and pled with God for mercy. And what He did, I will never forget for the rest of my life.

That very month, July, the very last day, we were on our way to the place where He’d ordained for us. 

On the first day of August, He settled us. He brought us into our own state and in the first week of September, he settled us in a peaceful, beautiful area, in a good community with access to everything we needed which we didn’t know would be possible in a bigger city- affordable markets, stable electricity, and low-cost living- in a bigger, better city! He made the impossible possible.

He fed us. He established us. He relocated us. He SETTLED us.

The way we have lived this past year has just been so miraculous! July 2024-July 2025 has been a year of divine provision, encounters, and miracles. I can boldly say, God answers prayers during Juicy July. I am forever grateful to be connected to this move of God. It’s been one miracle after another! To God alone be all the glory. Praise the Lord 🙏🏾🙌🏾

 

EXHORTATION: THE EARTH GROANS FOR YOU

You feel it, don’t you? The tension in the air. The confusion in nations. The storms that rage louder than weather. The decay. The darkness. The deterioration. Something is wrong. Something is missing. Something is crying out.

The systems are failing. The morals are collapsing. The ground is cracking beneath our feet, and the skies are heavy with things we cannot name. And yet, beneath all the noise, if you listen deeply, there’s a groan. Not from hell. Not from man. Not from demons. But from the earth itself. It’s groaning for something. No. For someone. For you!!!

Yes, you. Not just as you are, but as you were meant to become!!!!

This world is not waiting for another church program. It’s not waiting for another sermon. It’s not even waiting for another revival. It is waiting for sons!

You were not born to decorate pews. You were not born just to survive. You were not born just to be saved.

You were born to become. And until you do, sis, the groaning will continue!

 

The Son of God

The first human son of God was Adam. Human, because even though angels were also called sons of God, Adam was the first man that carried that title on earth. He was supposed to be the beginning of a divine lineage. A man made in the very image and likeness of God. But almost immediately, he turned his back on the One who had formed him. He did what a son should never do to his father. He doubted Him. He disbelieved His word. He trusted the voice of a stranger over the voice of His Maker. He questioned the integrity of God. He disobeyed and in that moment, threw away everything: his inheritance, his authority, his dominion. He fell from sonship.

 

Sonship Lost!

Our first father and mother chose to deviate. They chose to believe a lie instead of the truth. And when they did, the life of God in them was cut off. Their DNA was corrupted. Death was born. Instantly, the glory that covered them lifted, and they began to die. Not just spiritually, but even their bodies started breaking down. From that moment, the entire creation began to suffer. Nothing remained untouched.

Animals that once lived in harmony started turning wild. Plants began to carry poison in their leaves and fruits. The ground that was meant to cooperate with man started resisting him. Even the climate began to shift. Everything God had called “very good” began to experience the ripple effect of that one decision. Romans 8:22 says that “the whole creation groans and travails in pain,” waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God. Why? Because creation remembers what it was like at the beginning! But now, it groans, because something is missing.

When Adam fell, it wasn’t just man that fell. Creation fell with him. The very environment began to reflect the brokenness of its ruler. The man who was to govern the earth lost his throne, and the whole system came under decay. 

That fall was not a small thing, sis. It was a complete misalignment from divine purpose. One of the worst things that happened was that Adam lost the ability to reproduce after God’s kind. In creation, everything was made after its kind. The grass produced after its kind. The fish after its kind. The lion after its kind. But when it came to man, the Bible says, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness” (Genesis 1:26). That was the kind of God! That was what made Adam different. He was not created to be ordinary. He was created to carry the life of God, the DNA of God, the likeness of God. He was supposed to bring forth after that kind. Sons of God. Children of divinity. But he lost it all in one moment of rebellion.

Now, what he began to produce was no longer after God’s kind but after his own fallen kind. Genesis 5:3 confirms it when it says Adam begat a son in his own likeness, after his image! Ayaaay, not God’s. That was the tragedy. From that point, humanity began to multiply, but not as sons of God but as sons of men. This is why the journey of salvation is not just about going to heaven. It’s about becoming sons again. It’s about being restored to the original kind we were created to be- after the kind of God! 

 

Dominion Was the Plan

God loved man and made him for His glory. That was the beginning of it all. Man was the crown of creation, formed intentionally to reflect God’s image and to rule in His stead. The idea was never for man to escape to Heaven. The idea was for man to live on earth and dominate it. That was the assignment. That was the plan. When God placed Adam in the garden, He told him to tend it, keep it, subdue the earth, and have dominion over everything upon it (Genesis 1:28). That dominion was not a suggestion. It was a mandate. Earth was man’s domain. The Bible says that Heaven is God’s throne, but the earth He has given to the sons of men (Psalm 115:16).

This is why all the running away, all the “just take me to Heaven” mindset, is misaligned. We were not created to abandon the earth. We were born to govern it. Even Jesus, when He came, did not bypass the earth. He descended. He walked this soil. He wore flesh. He fulfilled all righteousness right here on this same earth. Why? Because the redemption plan was never about us escaping to Heaven. It was about Heaven invading earth. It was about restoring God’s will on earth as it is in Heaven. Remember Jesus even taught us to pray this? That is it! 

And in the end, when time winds down and the scrolls are closed, the Bible does not end with people living in the sky. Revelation shows us a new heaven and a new earth. The Holy City descends. Creation is healed. The groaning stops. God once again dwells with man on earth. Because that’s how it started. That’s how it was meant to be. That’s how it will be again. We must stop treating the earth like a cursed, abandoned project. Sons don’t run from responsibility. They rise and reclaim it. Becoming sons is returning to that dominion mandate, to rule, to build, to restore, and to reflect God’s glory right here on earth.

 

The Word Became a Son

So, back to the original discussion: the Lord needed sons. Not just people who call Him “Lord.” Not just worshippers. He wanted sons. The kind that look like Him. The kind that carry His life, His Spirit, His DNA. Sons who can reflect His glory and represent Him on the earth. Adam failed. The lineage was corrupted. But God, in His mercy, gave the earth another chance.

The second person of the Godhead,  the One called the Word,  stepped forward. He agreed to come into time, to put on flesh, to become a man. Why? So that through Him, true sons could rise again. A body was prepared for Him, using one of the eggs from the womb of Mary. During His ‘inauguration’, the Father publicly declared the beginning of a new lineage. “You are my Son, today I have begotten You” (Psalm 2:7, Hebrews 1:5). That was the voice that tore through time. That was the Word sent into the womb of Mary. That was the eternal Son stepping into human form.

Jesus Himself confirmed it: “A body You have prepared for me” (Hebrews 10:5). That was the strategy. The Word had to become flesh. The Son had to become visible. Why? First, to teach us how to walk as sons. 

But He didn’t stop there. He came to make us sons. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God.” That was the goal. That is still the goal. Jesus came not just to forgive us, but to restore us to our original identity: sons of God!

 

The Making of Sons

So today, we are looking at the making, the process of becoming sons. That’s our focus. Not just what it means to be a son, but how God shapes us into one. This is so important because many want the title without the transformation. They want to be called sons of God but don’t understand the weight of being made into one. And let me say this clearly, when I say sons, I also mean daughters. The Bible uses the word “sons” to capture both male and female heirs. So, as women, we are not left out of this calling. We are being made into daughters of God. Sons in the Spirit. Full heirs of His nature.

Look at Jesus. He is our perfect example. He didn’t just arrive on earth and start declaring His status. He submitted Himself to the process. For thirty years, He lived as a true Son. Quiet years. Hidden years. Obedient years. Years of learning, listening, obeying, and growing. No record of miracles, no platform, no crowd. Yet, He was working, working on being aligned, yielded, submitted. And when the time came, at His baptism, Heaven could not keep silent. The Father had to speak. He had to make it known to everyone: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him” (Matthew 3:17).

Jesus didn’t become the Son of God at baptism, He had always been the Son. But baptism marked a public confirmation of what had been quietly formed. The making had produced something Heaven could endorse. The Father was saying, “This one has given Me pleasure. This one has lived for Me. This one has passed through the process and remained faithful. Listen to Him.” That is what it means to be made a son.

You don’t just wake up into it. You’re made. Formed. Proven. In the secret place. Through obedience. Through surrender. That’s what today is about. Are you submitting to that process? Are you being made into a daughter of God that Heaven can point to and say, “This one gives Me pleasure”? 

 

Dominion Recovered

Eventually, Jesusd was killed. The spotless, blameless Son of God was crucified. But His death was not an accident but a divine setup. As His seamless blood hit the cursed earth, something shifted. That blood wasn’t ordinary. It wasn’t stained with sin or corrupted with disobedience like the blood of the first Adam. This was perfect blood, the blood of the Second Adam, the true Son of God. And as that blood touched the ground, it began to speak. As it descended into Hades, it began to disrupt systems. Hell could not understand what had just happened. Death stared at Him and wondered, Who is this? The grave became confused. That pure blood was causing a disturbance.

Why? Because dominion had just returned. What Adam lost in the garden, Jesus recovered from Satan, Death and the grave. What the first son handed over, the second Adam reclaimed. His blood was the legal transaction. It was the payment. It was the key. He didn’t fight Satan with swords. He conquered with blood!!! The Bible says through death, He destroyed him who had the power of death, that is, the devil (Hebrews 2:14). The moment that blood hit the ground, dominion was no longer under Satan’s custody.

But Jesus didn’t just take the dominion and keep it. He handed it over. To who? The Church. The body of Christ. Because it is the Church that now carries the responsibility to raise sons. It is the womb through which God will bring forth men and women who carry His image and walk in His authority. Sons of God, not just by name, but by life, by power, by alignment. The dominion wasn’t handed to a building or a religion. It was handed to a people, a living Church, because through her, sons would rise again. Sons who know who they are. Sons who reflect the Father. Sons who rule again on the earth.

 

The Call to Become Sons

So because one man, Jesus, was able to live fully as man on this earth, and still please God completely, Heaven found what it had always longed for. God finally had a Man that represented His kind without deviation. That obedience opened a way. A fellow human, like us, had walked the path and triumphed. That gave us access. Real access. Not just the feeling of it, but legal, spiritual access into the family of God. And if we now believe in His name, because He has pleased the Father, we too are invited to walk that path. That’s the invitation. That’s the access point.

John 1:12 puts it clearly “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.” That word become is heavy. It’s not an instant switch. It’s not “you believed yesterday and now you are automatically living as a son.” No. That “become” is a journey. It is a making. It is a process. Yes, the moment you believed, you were born again, praise God. That means the seed has entered. A child of God has been born. But that’s just the beginning. The desire of God is not just to have babies in His house. The desire of God is to raise sons. Mature ones. Stable ones. Obedient ones. Governed ones. Fruitful ones.

Adam failed because he wanted to rule himself. He wanted to be his own god. He was a child with access, but he didn’t submit to the process. He didn’t please the Father. Jesus came and showed us what it means to walk that path to maturity, to grow, to submit, to obey, to wait, to endure, to love, to serve. That is sonship. So today, we are asking the hard questions: We’ve believed. We’ve been born again. But are we becoming? Are we growing into sons? Are we submitting to the making? Because being born again gives you the right to enter. But only sons will rule with Him. Maturity is the goal. Sonship is the destination.

 

The Power That Brings Sonship

So, how do we become sons? It takes as many as believe, and to those who believe, God gives power to become sons of God. This is one of the most profound verses in the Bible. It’s not just a promise; it’s a divine reality. When a person is born again, when they trust Jesus and are born into God’s kingdom, a special power is made available for them. This power is what actually transforms them into sons. It’s this power that changes us from mere believers to mature sons who can walk in authority and dominion.

That’s why Jesus told His disciples to wait in one place and pray for the promise of the Father,  the coming of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5). He knew that without this power, they could do nothing. When He left the earth, He gave the church into the hands of fishermen and ordinary, unlearned people. He wasn’t worried that they lacked education or experience because He knew they would not operate by their own strength. It was the power of the Holy Spirit that would make them become sons, not just followers, but rulers in God’s kingdom.

This power is the key to subduing the earth and restoring dominion. The reason the earth is still groaning under corruption is not because there are no children of God. There are many who have been born again, who know the blood of Jesus. But what we lack are sons,  mature, powerful sons who understand and walk in their identity. Heaven itself lacks sons of God because many of us don’t fully understand what it means to become sons.

The revelation of sonship must awaken in us. We must understand that being born again is only the beginning. The power to become sons is what carries us into maturity and authority. Without it, we remain children. With it, we step into our God-ordained dominion.

 

The Revelation of Sonship

So, what is the revelation? How do we become sons? God gave us power to become sons. That power is the Holy Spirit. We cannot become sons by our own strength. We cannot be glorified, sanctified, or made holy by ourselves. We need the power to become. We need the Holy Spirit to shape us, to transform us, to lead us into sonship.

How do we become? The Bible gives us a clear answer. Romans 8:14 says, “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” It’s that simple. There is a direct connection between the power God gave us to become sons and being led by that power:  the Holy Spirit. Those who are truly sons and daughters of God are identified by their daily, consistent submission to the Spirit’s leading.

When you see a son of God, you see someone who is constantly led by the Spirit. The same is true for daughters of God. The Spirit is the proof, the evidence, the life force that produces sonship in us. Without the Spirit’s leading, sonship remains incomplete.

Jesus Christ was once the only begotten Son, but He is no longer alone. The Bible tells us He now has many brethren. He is the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29, Hebrews 2:10-11, Philippians 2:15). He humbled Himself to become like us, so He could draw many others to Himself. He became the firstborn, the pioneer, leading the way for all who would become sons and daughters, led by the Spirit, and transformed into His likeness.

 

From Children to Sons

So, it is not enough for us to be born again. Yes, we have been born again, glory be to God, but that is only the beginning of the journey, not the end. Many of us have been born again for 15, 20, 10, or even 3 years, and yet we remain babies, still children of God. There is a calling for us to move beyond that immaturity into full sonship. And sisters, hear this: it is often us, the children of God, who have not stepped into sonship, who continue to allow this earth to groan and the world to worsen. Our spiritual immaturity is linked to the brokenness all around us.

The Bible tells us that the entire creation waits eagerly for the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19). The world grows worse because sin continues to increase. Death holds dominion because sin remains. Every day, sin is birthed, and until we arise and choose to be led by the Spirit of God, creation will keep groaning in pain.

This is the call today: enough is enough of living as mere children of God. It is good to be children; we are better than many unbelievers because we have been born again. But being a child alone is not enough. Children live in fear, waiting for the rapture, lacking power, lacking grace, lacking maturity. They are powerless in the spiritual battles they face. This is why so many believers, even in great churches and theological schools, remain spiritually immature- children in Christ.

You could meet a young believer, a child of 15 or 16 who has grasped the revelation of sonship and walks in it daily. This child is more spiritually mature than a pastor or leader who has been a believer for decades but remains a child in the Kingdom. There is a real difference between a child of God and a son of God. 

Today, we are called to press on, to mature, to grow into sons and daughters who walk fully in the Spirit, who have overcome the desire to live for ourselves, and who take up their authority in God’s kingdom. It’s time to move from being children to becoming mature sons. The earth, creation, and heaven are waiting for us to rise.

 

Jesus, Our Perfect Example

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Wise One who perfectly fulfilled all that it means to be a Son of God, lived entirely by the Spirit. He never operated from His own flesh or will. He was always led by the Spirit of Christ. When He told us in John 5:30 that “I do nothing on my own,” Jesus was fully submitted to the Father’s will, only doing what He saw the Father doing through the Holy Spirit. He did nothing independently.

For example, when he was tempted to turn stones into bread, something that would be like taking money out of your pocket to buy food, Jesus did not do it because the Father did not give Him permission. He said to the devil, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). Jesus obeyed only the words the Holy Spirit revealed from the Father. Since the Father never told Him to make bread this way, He refused to do it.

Now, can you imagine living in that place of dependence? Do you truly believe you can depend on the Holy Spirit to guide every part of your life- your money, your time, your talents, your appetite, your clothing? Do you believe you can be so led that you don’t act on your own understanding but wait for the Spirit’s direction? Has that become your reality?

Even in His miracles, Jesus was led by the Spirit. When His friend Lazarus died, though Jesus surely longed to go immediately, He waited until the Spirit said it was time to move (John 11). He did not act on human impulse but on divine timing.

Another example is the man who had been sick for 38 years at the Beautiful Gate . Jesus passed by him many times but never healed him because the Spirit had not told Him to. Although Jesus surely had compassion, His emotions did not dictate His actions. He obeyed the Spirit alone. He prayed, gave alms, but did not heal. After Jesus ascended, the Spirit prompted Peter and John to heal this man, which became a powerful testimony, leading thousands to faith (Acts 3).

If Jesus had healed the man, it would have been just another miracle in His ministry. But because He was led not to heal, it set the stage for an even greater movement. This shows the power of being led by the Spirit- waiting, trusting, obeying, not by our feelings or impulses but by God’s perfect timing and will. This is the example we must follow if we are to truly become sons and daughters of God.

 

The Call to Total Dependence

But how do we live? Most times, we still live as children. We decide what we want, we say what we will do, and we act independently. You’ll even hear some pastors saying, “God won’t choose that one for you,” or “That’s why God gave you a brain, to decide for yourself.” Oh, really? Is that the way of sons? Is that the example Christ left for us? No. God is not looking for independent thinkers who walk in their own wisdom. He is looking for sons and daughters who are radically dependent on Him. Completely surrendered. Fully yielded. Even down to the simple things, like what to eat to break your fast, as in the case of Christ!

If He is so interested in your bread, how much more your marriage, your children, your career, your ministry, your location, your church? He wants to be involved in it all. But when we continue to live as children, doing what we like, moving by our senses, using our brains as the final authority, we hinder heaven. We prolong the groaning of creation. We delay the healing and restoration that only mature sons can bring.

So, here is the cry today, dear sister. The call is for us to come higher. To stop being casual Christians who merely carry the name “child of God” but have no weight in the Spirit. The call is for us to become daughters in the real sense, Sons of God in the language of heaven. The ones who carry His divine nature. The ones who live by His voice. The ones who are led daily by His Spirit.

 

Let Him Have His Course!

The Holy Spirit you have received did not come just to sit quietly inside your heart. He did not come merely to comfort or to decorate your spiritual life. He came to lead. He came to take control. He came to rule. The Holy Spirit was sent to dominate your life, to dictate everything you do, not because God is a dictator, but because His ways are higher, His thoughts are perfect, and His plans are always right.

It is as the Holy Spirit begins to dictate your steps, your words, your responses, your decisions, your very rhythm of life, that you begin to become. It is in daily submission to His voice that His nature starts to shape yours. That is how Christ is formed in us. Galatians 4:19 says, “My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you.” Who does this forming? The Spirit of God. He is the one who chips away your sharpness, your rudeness, your haste, your self-will, and replaces them with gentleness, patience, humility, and surrender. That is the making of a son.

We were not born soft. We were not born ready. We are full of flesh and ego and emotion. But when the Spirit begins His work, He breaks us, He molds us, and He presses us into the image of the Son. Until we look like Jesus, until we speak like Jesus, until we respond like Jesus, the process continues. This is why you must let Him lead you, even in the little things

The seed must fall to the ground and die before it can bear fruit (John 12:24). If it doesn’t die, it remains alone. That is how many of us are, still alive to self, still holding on to control, and therefore still fruitless. But when you die, when you surrender, when you break, when you let the Holy Spirit take over, then you begin to multiply. Then you begin to raise other sons. Then the dominion begins to manifest.

So I ask you today, sister, are you becoming a son of God? Are you letting Him lead you in the little, little things? Or are you still the one in charge of your own life? You may be a child of God, yes, but if you are still in control, you are not yet a prophet to the kingdom. You are not yet useful to the dominion plan of heaven. Only sons can carry kingdom weight. Only sons can rule on God’s behalf. Only sons can bear fruit that abides. This is the call today: Let the Spirit lead. Let the Spirit form Christ in you. Surrender and become.

 

Sons of God versus Children of God

There is a major difference between being a child of God and being a son of God. While every son starts as a child, not every child grows into sonship. Sonship is not a title we automatically receive at salvation. It is a stage of maturity we are formed into by the Holy Spirit. The Bible shows us this progression clearly:

“But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God…” (John 1:12)

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)

 

Let’s break it down:

 

1. Children are born. Sons are made.

A child of God is someone who has received salvation, believed in Jesus, and is born again. It’s a beautiful beginning, but it is not the final destination. A son of God is someone who has allowed the Spirit of God to mold, prune, discipline, and lead them into maturity. It is a becoming.

 

2. Children live by feelings. Sons live by the Spirit.

Children act based on what they feel: happy, angry, offended, tired. Sons live by what the Spirit says, even if it is hard. Sons are not tossed to and fro by emotion; they are anchored in obedience.

 

3. Children seek to please themselves. Sons seek to please the Father.

A child often wants what feels good or seems best to them. A son asks, “What does the Father want?” Jesus said, “I do nothing on My own; I only do what I see My Father do.” That is the language of sonship.

 

4. Children ask for toys. Sons ask for responsibilities.

Children are concerned about blessings: breakthrough, favor, open doors. Sons are burdened with purpose: dominion, harvest, obedience, impact. They say, “Send me.” They are dependable.

 

5. Children cry. Sons command.

Children are always in need: “Lord, do this for me.” Sons carry the authority of the Father. They speak, they decree, they bind and loose, because they know who they are in the Spirit.

 

6. Children are fed. Sons feed others.

Children need to be constantly spoon-fed: “pray for me,” “encourage me,” “remind me.” Sons have been processed, and now they raise others. They disciple, nurture, and lead. They feed the flock.

 

7. Children live in fear. Sons walk in boldness.

Children still fear death, fear hell, fear witches. Sons know they are seated with Christ in heavenly places. They are not scared of battles because they know they are backed by heaven’s authority.

 

8. Children love God’s hands. Sons seek His heart.

Children want miracles. Sons want intimacy. Sons press in to know God. They don’t serve for what they can get; they serve for who He is.

 

9. Children can still fall easily. Sons stand firm.

Because children are still growing, they fall and rise often. Sons, though not perfect, have grown into stability. They are rooted, grounded, and not easily moved.

 

10. Children wait for heaven. Sons manifest heaven on earth.

Children dream of escaping the earth. Sons understand they were born to subdue it. They carry kingdom agenda into families, systems, schools, politics, and beyond. They bring heaven down.

 

11. Children rejoice when prayers are answered. Sons rejoice when God’s will is done.

A child rejoices when their desires are fulfilled. A son rejoices when God’s desires are fulfilled, even if it’s hard. Jesus said, “Not my will, but Yours be done.” That is the cry of a son.

 

12. Children live for visitation. Sons walk in habitation.

Children wait for God to “come” during a meeting. Sons carry Him. They live constantly aware of His presence. Their lives are altars. Sons become hosts of the presence of God.

 

13. Children ask for revival. Sons become revival.

Children are always crying for God to move. Sons are the move of God. Their lives spark change. Wherever they are planted, things begin to shift. Sons are not only prayer warriors, they are revival flames.

 

14. Children compete. Sons complete.

Children compare themselves with others, compete for recognition, and seek approval. Sons are secure. Sons collaborate. Sons complete the work, even if they don’t get credit.

 

15. Children demand rights. Sons surrender rights.

Children say, “But God must do this for me!” Sons say, “Even if He doesn’t, I’m surrendered.” Sons know they were bought with a price. They don’t demand; they yield.

 

16. Children follow crowds. Sons follow the cloud.

Children are easily swayed by trends, voices, and popular opinions, even in the church. Sons are led by the cloud of His presence. They will stay still if God says wait. They will move even if they are the only ones.

 

Will You Remain a Child?

This is where we end it today, dear sister, but this is where the real work begins. God loves His children. He rejoices over every salvation. But He is waiting for sons. God is calling us deeper. He is calling us higher. The Spirit is crying out across the nations, through the churches, through the groaning of the earth, through the barrenness of many lives and systems, where are My sons? Where are the ones who will not just carry My name but will carry My life, My nature, My burden, My will, My heart?

It is not enough to be born again. It is not enough to have said the sinner’s prayer. It is not enough to dance in church, to speak in tongues, to post scriptures online, to be active in fellowship, to be known in religious spaces. God is looking for sons. Sons that are led. Sons that are dead to their own will. Sons that have lost ownership of their own lives. Sons that tremble at His voice. Sons that will say, “I do nothing except what I see my Father do.” Sons that will wait on Him even when it’s painful. Sons that will turn down good opportunities because the Spirit has not said “Go.” Sons that will live for His glory, not their convenience.

The world doesn’t need more noise. The world doesn’t need more religion. The world doesn’t need more ambition in Christian dressing. The world is groaning for manifestation. The Father is waiting for maturity. The harvest is waiting for sons.

The groan is beneath our feet and the cry above our heads. The heavens are waiting. The earth is aching. The Spirit is speaking. And the Father is watching. Watching for those who will not just wear His name but carry His likeness. Watching for those who will no longer live as spoiled children but grow into proven sons.

Sister, enough of shallow Christianity. Enough of spiritual babyhood. Enough of being born again without becoming. Enough of living on milk when you’ve been called to manifest. The time has come to press in, to break, to die to your own will and rise by His Spirit. The world will not be healed by your intentions. Creation will not be restored by your tears. The groaning will not stop until the sons arise.

So today, surrender again. Yield deeper. Ask for that power to become. Follow the leading of the Spirit in everything, no matter how small. Let Him form Christ in you. Let the corn of wheat fall and die. Let the Son of God be seen through your life.

Because the earth is not groaning for another child. The earth is groaning for you. The Son. Will you become?

 

STIRRING THE WATERS

Dear sister, it is that special moment. 10 good minutes of stirring the waters, of praying in the Holy Ghost. Please gladly take this short pause. Let the instrumental below play and just stir. Don’t rush this. Pray in the Spirit. Abba to Daughter. Spirit to Spirit.

And if you haven’t received the gift of the Holy Spirit yet? This is YOUR TIME! Cry out to Abba:  “Father, fill me! Baptize me! Immerse me in Your Spirit! I need You for life, Holy Spirit, come. Baptize me with the Holy Ghost and Father, please grant me another pentecost in Jesus Name”

Let’s start stirring. 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE

We are daughters, let’s take charge over the territories where we are represented right now. 

Father, by Your mighty Name, I sanctify my body, my home, and my atmosphere right now. I cover myself with the blood of Jesus (Revelation 12:11) and declare every strange spirit, every demonic stronghold, to flee by fire (Psalm 34:7). I cleanse this place and myself from every trace of darkness (2 Corinthians 6:17). Let Your Holy Spirit fill this space and my life with Your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3). I take authority as Your beloved daughter and refuse to be moved. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

 

START PRAYING

Sis, if you’ve ever prayed before, now is the time to turn it up! You’re not here to joke.

1. My Father, my God, I lift my voice in thanksgiving today. Thank You for saving me, for calling me Your own, for not letting me be wasted by darkness!

STANDING IN THE GAP

Now, please intercede. Stand in the gap for others. Take these as if they were yours:

ONE: There’s a lady in my church, she can’t stand and walk properly. It has affected her a lot over the years, she can’t go to university because of her condition and most of the time she has to be backed by others. Today I saw the scars on her laps caused by her hands she place on her laps for her to move around.
I want everyone to pray with me that she gets her healing and regain ability to walk and stand like a normal human being.

 

TWO: I’ll be starting my final exams on Monday (today), I just want the children of God to join me in prayers that God will help me and grant me excellent success.

We’ve been on about creating a local chapter of an organisation in my department which would be very beneficial for all the students and staff but it seems there are principalities against it. I’ll like the people of God to pray with me that doors will open for us and every difficulty will be far gone, principalities will now and before we finally leave the campus, we will successfully achieve this great goal.

Lastly, I will like the people of God to join in me in prayers for the salvation of the souls of two of my sisters. That in ways beyond men’s reasoning, they will encounter God and He will bring them out of darkness into His glorious light.

 

THREE: I have need for two particular approvals that have been pending since January. There was a promise that it will come through in May but it hasn’t. These approvals have delayed some other decisions and growth causing stagnation. I will like that my sisters join me in praying that this very month, Juicy July, that my name will be remembered for good and favour, I will get those approvals by grace, I will recover all lost time, and I will get double honour alongside in Jesus name. 

 

FOUR: 1. I want God to draw me closer to Him. I want to be consistent with my walk with Him and I want Him to baptise me with the gifts of the Spirit.

2. I want God to perfect my mum’s health and heal her completely from every chest pain and weakness in her bone. That all that concerneth her health is perfected in Jesus name.

3. I just purchased my master’s form. I want God to provide all other finances I will need for the masters and grant me his favour and I will lack nothing throughout the studies.

4. I want the Lord to provide a better job than where I am presently. A job that will pay me times three of what I’m earning presently. A job that will make me serve, and love God more, propels career growth with zero toxicity in Jesus name.

 

Round off with thanksgiving, 

 

FATHER’S CORNER

Let the instrumental below play freely while you talk to God. Imagine Him seated right before you. Now, start to talk to Him like you can see Him. Heaven is open. Your Father is right before you. Ask away! Ask real things, meat, not chaff. It’s you and Him now. Spend this 10 minutes well, unrushed. spend more time if you so desire but make sure you spend time with your father. I can promise you before July ends, you’d start to have encounters you never knew existed! Ayaaa… Just open your mouth and let it pour! Amen!

Round off with thanksgiving when you are done.
