Topic: Ministry of the Sons of God
Greetings Sons of God:
First we know that ministry is serving. Now when we talk about the ministry of the
sons of God so much is put into thinking ministry is a select group of programs
under a church umbrella. Do not get me
wrong many of these ministries do well in the community but we are called to go
higher in Him. His thoughts are higher
than our thoughts. So there is a level
of ministry that the Lord is bringing us to that not only meet the physical
needs but above all the very spiritual
needs of people. I would like to use the
story of Joseph (Genesis 39-41) to explain this wonderful concept because
remember many of the old testament testimonies and witnesses are shadows of
things to come.
We remember Joseph, sold into slavery by his brothers
through jealousy because of the vision from the Lord. He ends up in Egypt serving under
Potipher. The Lord gives him visions and
interpretations to reveal to the prisoners and ultimately to Pharaoh. The power of God working through Joseph would
elevate him to ruler over Egypt and through him the nation, Egypt and nations
round-a-bout were saved by the provisions Joseph made with the wisdom of
God. We know this includes his very own
family that betrayed him. This is how
the nation ended up in Egypt. Now this
is the shadow and reality. Joseph is a
picture of Christ. Through His rule the
nations were saved and provisions made in the midst of famine and drought. Because we are in Christ this is our
ministry. Let me lead with this
Scripture:
1 Peter 1:10-12: Of which salvation the prophets have
enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come
unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was
in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and
the glory that should follow. Unto whom
it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the
things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel
unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels
desire to look into.
The manifestation of the sons of God for this time is that
we become His channel for the word and authority for this time. In this time of preparation and maturity we
will leave the mentality of hoarding and storing up for physical provisions and
be what God desires to become within us.
What does this mean?
We are His life, His bread, His water which He has prepared
for those people who are shifting out of this dying age. We are the vessels He is preparing as
provisions for the people who desire to come to Him. We must come to a realization that those
people in the Bible were just like us and things that happened to them were
written for our instruction and example:
1 Corinthians 10:11: Now all these things happened unto them
for ensamples and they are written for our admonition upon whom the ends of the
world are come.
We are being prepared for such a time as this. This is not about working for God but
manifesting God incarnate through the sons.
This is why our bodies and the entire creation is in travail. There is a yearning within your spirit to
manifest God within you and the creation is groaning for the liberty from the
sons of God from this corrupt world.
This why you are going through these trails in these days to burn away
the soulish nature, The Word of the Lord
is going to continue to try you until it is made flesh within you.
Psalm 105:19: Until the time His word came: the word of the
Lord tried him.
Work with the Lord and submit your soul to the rule of the
flesh so that you may be all that He desires in the earth.
Peace, Love and Grace,
Calvin Calhoun, Jr.
