An heir who is underage or immature does not differ from a servant despite legally owning the estate. This is what our opening scripture is informing us. This means that the heir is not apparent in running the Father's business. While being a rightful heir, he cannot be given the inheritance because of immaturity. Romans 8:19 declares, "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God". The word "son" is translated from the word huios in Greek and it means matured sons. This means creation is not waiting for the manifestation of immature sons. This reveals the role that our growth in the Lord plays in our manifestation. Become an heir apparent by growing. The untold beauties of your inheritance can't be enjoyed and displayed with immaturity.

Romans 8:17 declares, "And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together". Just to think that you are a joint heir with Christ is amazing and mind blowing. This literally means what belongs to Christ belongs to you. However this amazing truth can't be apparent or visible in your life if you stay immature in the Lord. Therefore, become intentionally serious with your spiritual growth. God gets concerned with lack of growth because at that level the kingdom virtues cannot be revealed. Remember He called you to shine and bring out the God-colors to your world.
