Topic: Growing By The Word

"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2)."

Growth is intrinsic to life; it’s a natural course of life. Everything that has life grows; it’s one of the characteristics that differentiate living things from non-living things. As a Christian, your spiritual growth and development are so important, and you can only grow by the Word. God’s Word is food for the human spirit.

The Word transforms your life from glory to glory when received with faith, meekness, and gladness. It’s like natural seeds that can only grow well when planted in the right environment. Similarly, if you want to grow spiritually, you must expose your spirit to the Word; you must take advantage of every possible avenue to feed on the Word. It’s one of the reasons you must be an active member of a local church, where you learn the Word of God that imparts faith and builds your spirit strong.

Watching yourself grow up to spiritual maturity can be so exciting. It evokes the kind of excitement, and even better, of watching a new-born baby grow, from crawling, to walking, and eventually running. It’s much better to see yourself develop spiritually, such that the things of this world don’t mean anything to you anymore; your choices have changed; your values have changed; things that used to offend you don’t offend you anymore. Your passion and affection are set only on the things of God. What a life!

Now you’ve learnt to take charge of your health. You know what to do when you face crises in life. That’s part of Christian growth! You come to a point in your life where it doesn’t make any difference what comes against you, because you know that you’re more than a conqueror; the greater One lives in you.

This, however, doesn’t just happen; it’s the result of feasting and feeding on the Word.!

CONFESSION

Dear Father, I thank you for putting in me a deep desire to know you through fellowship with your Word. I yield myself to be inspired, taught, educated, and trained in spiritual things, with my faith strengthened to fulfil my destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Nearly everything you do is of no importance, but it is important that you do it.

- Mahatma Gandhi

Thats not the case with me. Everything I do is important because I am Gods own purchased special person.
