I really believe that the Finishing Generation of breakthrough believers are truly a company of people who are truly the Sons of God.
They are the ones who would accurately represent the Father and advance His kingdom on this earth.
These are the distinctive features of the Finishing Generation:-
1. They have the stature to represent God.
What is stature?
1. Stature is the position of favor obtained in God.
2. Who you become through God encounters
I began to realize that in NT, there are only two verses that uses this word "stature" which carries the meaning maturity.
Luke 2:52 " And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man."
Eph 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."
Jesus himself as the begotten Son of God grew and also increased in stature. (More on this under "BEloved Son)
Jesus himself had to increase in His maturity so that He could come to a state whereby He (Your very Son) could fully represent You, the Father and finish Your very purpose You sent Him to do. No wonder You have Him spent His first 30yrs just taking the time to grow in stature it's upon gaining Your very approval then You sent Him out for the ministry.
Luke 3:22 "And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son, in thee I am well pleased. "
Jesus had come to a place where He found favor in You. Till He was standing where You are standing and He was operating on Your behalf, fully representing You. Speaking what You speak and all the elements of the earth responded to Him as how it would to You.
How to obtained stature?
We need to yield to the dealings of God in our lives until He finds us a trustworthy steward who will represent Him fully, and be bestowed with the necessary grace, provision and wisdom to finish Kingdom purposes here on the earth.
Can stature be measured? Yes! We can grow and progress in our stature.
Luke 2:52 & Eph 4:13
I began to realize that I too need to increase stature (my maturity) as in Eph 4:13.
Eph 4:13 "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."
The unity of faith is not about having the same doctrine but having the same level of faith (Your kind of faith) which is what and how Jesus operated in as He was fully representing You. I can operate at this level of faith which is your faith.
Come into the knowledge of the Son of God meaning I must come into a place where i begin to learn to live, walk, speak and operate in the same manner as Christ did. I must and can walk into the very dimension as how Christ had lived, walked and operated in.
I am the Sons of God therefore I must come to a state where my maturity is having the knowledge how Jesus Christ, Your very Son had lived and operated on this earth.
Till I become "perfect" meaning "complete" meaning every area of my life is growing and increasing into the very maturity of how i as a Sons of God can live and operate in the EXACT manner as how Jesus Christ did.
Now You have caused my eyes and heart to understand that You actually want us to come into this level of maturity in living this life.....
As sons of God in it's full measure as how Jesus did as He was fully representing You just like how we are too.
* Now i understand what papa JD meant when he mentioned about this verse Eph 3:14.
Youhave been speaking again and again yet we have not understood it therefore we missed out on how we should be living this life. How it must have hurt and pained Your heart to see us not walking into this full measure of life that You have prepared for us and missed out the very purpose of living.
But now You don't have to feel the pain anymore as You will have a generation of people who would walk into the fullness of the measure of life as how Christ lived. And it would go on to next generation and the many more to come!
A generation of sons of God who could fully represent You here on this earth is here already!
To be continued on next point......
