SPEAKER 02 :
Good morning. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherri Campbell. This morning, I’m going to continue sharing with you a message that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called Sonship, Your Rights, Privileges, and Inheritance. So join me now in our live service for the continuation of this message, Sonship, Your Rights, Privileges, and Inheritance. But if the father divided his property between them, the two of them, and the younger son took his in left, then what does that mean? What remains belongs to the older son. It’s his inheritance. And yet you read in verse 29, you never gave me. You never gave me even a goat. You never gave me even a goat. It’s like, excuse me? What do you mean I never gave you even a goat? All that’s left here, and that’s why he says in verse 31, my son, the father said, you are always with me. Everything I have, this is yours. Excuse me? What do you think you’re saying here? I never gave you anything. The younger son went off and took everything that was his. So what’s left, it’s all yours. It’s all yours. Don’t say I never gave you anything. So you see, the older son didn’t even know he had been given anything. And he’s complaining, you never gave me anything. Not even a goat. Hey, it’s all. Everything left is yours. You should be and could be using it every day. Living like a son. enjoying what has been given to you instead of living in the fields, in the dirt with the servants, talking, thinking, acting like a servant and not enjoying what has been given to you. What is yours? So a slave, okay. A slave does not know the father’s business. So he doesn’t know what’s going on. That’s why he comes back and says, what’s going on here? He doesn’t know because he’s in the dark, but he also doesn’t know because he hasn’t been with the father. He doesn’t know the father’s heart. And if he had been around the father, if he had stayed by the father and just shadowed the father everywhere, he would have seen the love the father had for the younger son and how that father probably was yearning for that younger one to come home. And the older son would have been next to him, could have seen it and felt it with his father. So that when the younger son came home, the older son would be happy for his father. Oh, my father’s desire has come true. My younger brother has come home, and I know that’s what my father has desired for the last months, years, however the son was gone. And the older son would have shared that heart or at least understood his father and at least been happy for his father, that his father’s desire had been fulfilled. His longing had been fulfilled, but he could not even understand his father. He says, I don’t understand this. What’s going on? Why are you so happy about this guy coming home? And he could not even relate to his father. He couldn’t understand why his father would even be happy because he was so distant from the father. So a slave does not know, doesn’t know the father’s business or the father’s heart. But the son is supposed to know everything. He’s supposed to know all the business that’s going on. aware of all the appointments on the schedule and the father’s heart. John 15, 15, Jesus said, John 15, 15, I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master’s business. John 15, 15. So a slave doesn’t know, a servant doesn’t know the business of the father or the heart of the father. Secondly, a slave has no authority. A son has authority. And even if the son is just four years old, he has a small measure of authority where he could probably tell the servant, go get my baseball bat. Get my baseball bat or he hits the baseball and says, go get my ball and get it for me, please. You know, he can at least with his toys. The servants will get his toys for him. But as he grows older, then more authority is given and more authority is given and more is given as they grow older. And this is where, again, authority. Your authority will increase with spiritual growth. You cannot give a baby full authority. You cannot give a baby full authority. An immature child who has tantrums and fits doesn’t get full authority But when that son grows up and is 18, he’s given a little bit more authority. When he’s 21, he’s given a little more authority. When he’s 30, by the Jewish culture, 30, he becomes actually like an equal partner. And so more authority is given to the son With maturity. But a slave has no authority. So that means the son gives orders and the slave receives orders. The son gives orders. The slave receives orders. Another thing is, of course, position rank. You know, the robe. When the younger son came home and the father said, put a robe on him. That robe was a robe of position. Just like Joseph, when Jacob gave him the coat of many colors. And, you know, sometimes people don’t realize they think it was just a pretty coat. And that the father gave him a coat. Why didn’t he give me a coat? Well, actually, they could all go get a coat. They had sheep and goats and cattle. They could all make a coat. But what was it about the coat? The coat represented position. It was a position as the heir, the next ruler of the tribe. And so his father was naming Joseph to take his place as head of the tribe. And so the coat represents position and authority. So the robe that the father gave to the younger son was not just something to cover his nakedness. It was something to identify his position. As son of this house. Therefore, he carries authority. He carries weight. All the servants recognize that. And so that had to do with position and authority. So a son has position and authority. A slave has no position and no authority. Also, a son has rights and privileges and benefits. A son has rights, privileges, and benefits. Galatians 4, verses 4 and 5. But when the time had fully come… God sent his son born of a woman born under law. Verse five, to redeem those under law that we might receive the full rights of sons, the full rights of sons, the full rights of sons. Being a son has a lot of rights, right? And Jesus died so we would get the full rights of sons of God. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. So we get the rights of sons that we might receive the full rights of sons. That’s Galatians 4, 5. And then, you know, Psalm 103, verse 2. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not. all his benefits there’s a lot of benefits that come with being a child of god a lot of benefits and then he goes on he says who forgives how many all your sins and heals how many all your diseases so healing is one of the benefits healing is a benefit of a son how many of your diseases all he heals all your diseases this is a benefit and he’s saying don’t forget any of his benefits we have benefits christians have benefits that they don’t partake of they don’t claim it’s like well i’m going to go on and say a slave owns nothing a son owns everything a son owns all that his father has or at least if it’s divided between two brothers, he has his half, but he owns it. He’s got ownership. And that’s a word we have to remember sonship. And we have to remember ownership. When you are a son of God, you actually have ownership of what God gives you. And there are people who say, well, everything I have is God’s. That is absolutely not true. God gave it to you. And if you’re not taking ownership of it, then the devil will. There again, if you don’t use your authority, the devil will usurp whatever authority you don’t use. But the same with your rights and benefits and inheritance. If you don’t use it, the devil will usurp it. He will use it. He’ll take it. So that’s why we have to stake our claim on our inheritance. This is ours. It belongs to us. Forget not all its benefits. Forgiveness is a benefit. Healing is a benefit. Also provision for all your needs. All your needs is a benefit. Don’t let the devil trespass on your inheritance, on what belongs to you. We have to realize we cannot just say God owns everything. No, he gave it to us in the book of Psalms. I don’t recall the chapter and verse, but it says the heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to man. He’s given it to man. And that’s why Genesis 126 says, God said, let us make man in our image and our likeness and let them have dominion over all the earth. The earth is under man’s dominion now, not God’s. And that’s why we say, why are things happening in the earth like they are? And it is wrong when people say God is in control. No, he gave the earth to man. And the earth is under man’s dominion since Genesis 1.26. It’s because man has done a bad job of ruling that he’s let the devil run loose. But what happens is what we allow. Whenever you hear people say God is in control, 99% of the time that’s not true. The only time it’s true is is when you are fully yielded to him, obeying him. Then you have given him or delegated to him authority and control as you put yourself under him to follow and obey him. But as soon as you said, well, I’m going to do it my way, this way, then you’ve taken it out of his hands again and he’s no longer in control. Now you’re back in control. Now you’ve got the steering wheel in your hands again. So he’s only in control when you totally give him the steering wheel and you obey him. What you just heard was the continuation of a message that I preached in one of our victorious faith services called Sonship, Your Rights, Privileges and Inheritance. And we will continue this message again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
