The Wise Son's Guide: How to Honor Your Father's Legacy and Multiply His Kingdom | Aug 7 2025 | MSOP

Melchizedek School of Priesthood | Aug 7, 2025 You must understand that there's a fundamental difference between being a child of God and becoming a mature son. While many believers remain comfortable in spiritual childhood, God's ultimate intention is to develop you into a son who can inherit and manage His estate. This isn't about gender—daughters are included in this sonship calling—but about spiritual maturity and responsibility. When you remain in perpetual childhood, you become what Scripture calls a "foolish son," and this creates a serious problem. A foolish son becomes a calamity to his father because he squanders what the father has worked to build instead of multiplying it. You cannot afford to be the kind of heir who takes inheritance and wastes it rather than growing it into something greater. You must treat the Book of Proverbs not as casual reading but as the genetic code of wise ones. This book contains divine DNA configurations that will literally transform you when you meditate on it properly. Don't read Proverbs like a novel or history book—approach it as a manual for rulers and inheritors of divine nature. When you encounter wisdom in Proverbs, understand that wisdom is a person, not just a concept. Wisdom enters your heart as a living entity. This requires you to incubate the word through meditation, bringing warmth to God's word until it begins to grow inside you. You cannot mature spiritually through prayer alone—you need the transformative power of God's word working within your soul. Here's what you must recognize: every person who has broken through into genuine spiritual authority has one thing in common—they fell in love with Jesus. Not the religious version of love, but genuine, organic affection for God as Father. This isn't about theatrical Christianity or saying "Father God" with religious inflection. You need to develop the simple, authentic affection that a child naturally has for their dad. Most believers struggle with the things of God because they've never fallen in love with Jesus. They know Him as a religious figure, an idol to be approached cautiously, rather than as their loving Father who delights in their company. You must move beyond this religious distance into genuine intimacy. Recognize that sonship and priesthood are identical. You're called to carry your Father's burden for creation's restoration. Just as earthly sons naturally want to do what their fathers do and be where their fathers are, you should develop an obsession with participating in God's work. This means you cannot be satisfied with casual Christianity. The whole of creation is waiting for the manifestation of sons of God—not angels, not cherubim, but mature sons who know their Father's heart and execute His will. You have dominion over spiritual forces and natural creation, but this authority only functions when you're operating in mature sonship. You must guard against spiritual harlotry—the tendency to accept seeds from multiple sources instead of maintaining purity to one divine seed. When various ministries bring new motivations and doctrines, and you indiscriminately accept them all, you become like someone who sleeps with everyone and can't identify the father of their spiritual offspring. Instead, maintain single-minded devotion to the seed of Christ. There is one God, one hope, one spirit, one baptism. Your spiritual DNA must be authentically from your heavenly Father, not a mixture of competing influences. The key to manifesting as God's son is being genuinely influenced by the Holy Spirit. The phrase "led by the Spirit" means being under the influence of God's Spirit—drunk in the Holy Ghost, intoxicated by His presence, controlled by His nature. This isn't about being born again; it's about allowing the Spirit of God to influence every aspect of your life. You should develop a holy greed for God's presence.
