Sons of God
As a believer, have you ever had a strong feeling that you ought to do something that defies logic? If you have such a strong sense of doing the unreasonable and you confer with men, they will talk you out of it. Paul had such a strong feeling and his response was this “immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood”-Galatians 1:16. What you do at that instance determines whether you are a son of God or a babe. Romans 8:14 says “as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. We see a perfect corroboration of this in Luke 4:1 “and Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness”. Are you led by the Spirit or led by the flesh? “It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”-John 6:63. Many times, you know that God has spoken to you, but you have allowed reason and fleshly advice to interfere with what you know God has asked you to do forgetting that nothing cancels our faith like reasoning. From today, if God has spoken to you, “conferred not with flesh and blood” because “to obey is better than sacrifice”-1 Samuel 15:22. Be like Peter. His fleshly experience and the counsel of his fellow fishermen was that there was no fish in Lake of Gennesaret. But when Yeshu’a told him to cast his net he simply said “Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net”-Luke 5:5.
