Are you growing in your walk with God?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
Hello friends! What a great opportunity to feed on the word of God once again this wonderful day! The word God laid on my heart to share with you today is about growing in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus. 
“But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ…” (2 Peter 3: 18)
 I feel God wants you to answer the following vital question: Are you growing in your walk with God? It is God desires for every one of His children to continue to grow in their relationship with Him. The reason is obvious from the Bible: until we grow up, we won’t be able to enjoy the privileges God has provided for us as His sons and daughters. 
“Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; 2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father. 3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: {elements: or, rudiments}” (Galatians 4: 1-3).
 The above Scriptures state that unless we grow up, we remain servants instead of enjoying our rights as heirs of God; we remain under the control of the things we ought to dominate and lord over. We come under bondage instead of walking in the freedom of the children of God Jesus became an example for us as to how we ought to be growing in our walk with God. He set His life as an example so that we can follow His foot steps:
“And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. …And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man” (Luke 2: 40, 52).
Jesus was born as a child, but He grew up and was given to the world as a Son upon whose shoulder was the government of God. 
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder :”( Isaiah 9:6).
 Until we grow up God cannot entrust us with certain level of Kingdom authority. He cannot entrust us with certain resources of His Kingdom.
  • Is there any evidence in your life that you are growing as a Christian?
  • Can God trust you with more of the treasures of His Kingdom?
  • Are you a responsible Christian or are you still childish in you thinking and approach to life?
  • Are you still living under bondage to the things you are commanded to rule over?
  • What are you doing everyday to ensure that you are growing and waxing stronger in the Lord?
Allow the Holy Spirit search light to penetrate your heart as you ponder on these questions today.Please follow the example of Christ today and make some effort to grow up.Remember, until you grow up, you will not be able to enjoy your privileges as sons and daughter of God. May God bless your day with abundant blessings today! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye.

    During the past few days we have been talking about the idea of a person being the main initiator of the miracles he needs in his life. In order for God to be able to do something supernatural in the individual’s life this individual must create the natural platform or foundation for this miracle. When you mix your distress with prayer, then the miracle will surely happen and you will have true and undisputable proof of God’s miracle and His supernatural intervention.

    1) Jesus gave some commandments to the Apostles BY THE HOLY SPIRIT (verse 2).Jesus Himself relied on the Holy Spirit in everything He did during His days in flesh. When He took on flesh, He was limited by it and He needed the Holy Spirit. As people we live in flesh and we also are limited by it. The only way for us to overcome these limitations is to rely on the Holy Spirit. We must be aware of the necessity and our dependency on the Holy Spirit. We must seek Him daily.

  • Cooperation with God

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    When we continually pray and worship God, then our main desire is doing the will of God. Many prayers remain unanswered by God, because these prayers have a wrong foundation and demonstrate wrong priorities. For example, you may pray for a person with some serious problems. And you ask God to remove his or her problems or to solve them. At the same time you know that even if the answer to this prayer comes, the problems might return, since the cause of them has not been removed. That is why when Paul prayed he always asked for the people to learn the will of God and have a desire to do His will and be fruitful.

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes
    There is another voice that we hear – it is the voice of other people and the voice of human standpoint. For example, the voice of experts goes in this category – a doctor who proclaims what the medical equipment indicates. A doctor may tell the patient that he will die in three days, because the medical equipment, the analyses and his own medical experience show that. Praise the Lord for our doctors, but we must know that the last word always belongs to God. God often says the totally opposite to what experts say. In such cases, it is necessary that we, while being respectful towards different specialists, put aside the expert conclusions and trust God, not people. The more you trust the expert conclusions and not the Word of God, the less God can give you life.

  • The importance of turning at the reproof of the Lord.

    The Bible tells us that God will correct us because He loves us and is delighted in our prosperity. He will not live us to wander in our unrighteous ways. He will rebuke, chastise and discipline those He love just like any father will do to his children.“My son, despise not the chastening of the LORD; neither be weary of his correction:12 For whom the LORD loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth” (Proverbs 3:11-12).
