PHANEROO~DEVOTION 20th March 2016 The Spirit Of Sonship Apostle Grace Lubega

[1 Samuel 24:16]; And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice, and wept.

Imagine a  situation where Jesse could not honour and recognise the king in his son David but, Saul could. Jesse did not favour David but Saul did. Besides the jealousy that crept into Saul's spirit because of David's successes, we see that before that, Saul ministered more unto the spirit of David than Jesse ever did. In the end Saul asks, ‘is that the voice of my son?’ Do you see how Saul addresses David? He calls him his son.

Remember, this is Jesse’s boy. However, God is trying to show you the transition from being a mere servant serving the king to becoming a son. This is the spirit of a son. This is how sons are made. He was no longer a servant but a son.  David becomes a son by what he has done. Even after Saul tried to kill him, David did not kill Saul.

If David had killed Saul, he would have killed his "father". Saul carried that authority simply because he went ahead of David by being a king before him, and loved David very much. The fact that a man of God stood in that office before you is enough for him to command your respect.

If it disturbs David that he cut a man’s skirt, how can it not disturb you when you speak evil about your spiritual authority?  After that, you raise your holy hands because you want to share in the very anointing you despised? No way. You say, ‘If he cannot give it to me, another man will.’ Then you go to another ministry and realise you are not favoured. You hop from one ministry to another because you ran away from the one that chastises you. If as a child, you speak back and respond in a way that is inexcusable simply because you were chastised, then you are not a son. The Bible says that if ye endure not chastisement then are ye bastards and not sons.
God help you submit to Authority!!!

Excerpt from the sermon: DAVID’S DISCOURSE- THE PRICE OF THE ANNOINTING by Apostle Grace Lubega

The fact that a man of God stood in that office before you is enough for him to command your respect.
