THIS IS MY BELOVED SON (597 Views)

I keep hearing pastors, teachers, ministers, and almost anyone in church government {my wife and I fell into this last category for some years} that tells us that the highest praise that we can expect from our heavenly Father is “well done good and faithful servant”. I went along with this “philosophy, doctrine, or whatever you call it” for some time {years to be exact} and then one time I heard a biblical teacher say that he wanted his heavenly Father to say to him “this is my beloved son” and within a very few months a prophet and teacher named Lloyd Phillips prophesied to me that my Lord said to me “this is my beloved son”. Now that struck a cord deep down inside of me!

I’ve come back throughout the years to Lloyd Phillips prophesy and the teacher’s statement “this is my beloved son” but due to the fact that I dare say, I and many of my brethren had heard “well done good and faithful servant” so many times from so many sources, that that’s what we believed and lived our lives to hear from our Lord.

I can only find two places {verses of scripture} were Jesus ever said “Well done, thou good and faithful servant” and these are in Matthew 25 verses 21 & 23 and this is in the parable of the three servants that were given 5, 2, and 1 talents {And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to each servant according to his ability}. How and Why did the church pick up on just these two verses of scripture of the servants and be blinded to all of the other scriptures that say we are sons and daughters of the most high God?

I do not personally know the How and the Why except to say that God’s and therefore our sworn enemy, Satan, has blinded us to the truth of who we are, sons and daughters of our Lord God.


There are two words used in the Greek for sons and daughters, teknon, tek'-non - a “child” (as produced):--child, daughter, son, descendant - and - huios, hwee-os' - a “son" used very widely of immediate, remote or figuratively, kinship, descendant, offspring.


John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons [teknon] of God, even to them that believe on his name:

1 John 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons [teknon] of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.

According to the previous scriptures “WE” are the “sons and daughters” of our Lord El-Elyon meaning we are the children of “the most high God“.

Man may say “well done good and faithful servant” but as for me I want to hear from my Abba “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON!

Man may say “well done good and faithful servant” but as for me I want to hear from my Abba “THIS IS MY BELOVED SON!

O what a sweet sound it will be when we hear our Father say to the univese.

This is my sons and Daughters whom my beloved Son has redeemed from the fallen prince of the earth. amen

John

Amen!
