GOD has declared that He has a special purpose for the male child and this is a point He wants stressed. Initially Pharaoh had tried to kill the sons but God did a saving work. The Psalmist in 127:3-5 writes that, "Sons are a heritage from God, like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies."
So, in essence sons are the arrows in the LORD's Hand. There is a special purpose for the male children in God's Kingdom and as long as you are a son, you better know that God is talking to you. In this study we shall go a little deeper into the lives of some selected sons and the special purpose God assigned to their lives. However, from the onset do note that what is said here is NOT the end all of these sons but just an eye-opener given by God.
Probably you are not a son but a daughter. That shouldn't prevent you from seeing what God was doing through and with His children in the Bible. So don't be put off by it being a study of the male child. God ministers in a way He knows best and it is the Holy Spirit's desire that you be challenged by the lives of these godly men. So whoever you may be, look at it this way, God is talking to you and He doesn't care whether or not you are a son because He is not sexist, He wants to talk to your life and mine, perhaps bring a change in the best place. God loves all of us the same so join us as we explore the lives of sons whom God purposed to be.
An interesting fact to know about sons is that they are neither male nor female but:
Those who have been given the power and right by God John 1:12.
Those who have the Spirit of God testifying with their spirit that they are sons of God Romans 8:16.
Those that understand their right as heirs Romans 8:17.
Those that have been given of God Isaiah 9:6.
Those that have been able to be revealed in the face of an anticipating creation Romans 8:19.
Those who have understood that they are lethal weapons Psalms 127:4-5.
Even after all, is said and done, there is that eager expectation by all creation for the revelation of true sons of God.
