Are you growing in your walk with God?

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.

  • The Bible calls us to ALWAYS PRAY AND NOT LOSE HEART

    The whole world lies in wickedness and darkness, but, looking at the people that have made prayer their priority #1, you realize that – so to speak – they are from another planet; they do not live in darkness because they seem shining. They have problems and their life is not any different, but they approach their problems in a different way and they look forward into the future in a different way. Prayer so alters their lives and strengthens their relationships with God that they do not notice things that others do.
  • God has left us two most important commandments – to love God and to love our neighbour as ourselves.!

    Walking in love is the determining factor of how happy we will be on this earth. Any one of us can become a happy person, who is satisfied with life, if only we will live in accordance to the law of love. In other words, my attitude towards God and the people around me determines whether I will be happy or not. If you want to be happy, then my advice to you is to love God and your neighbour without deceit!

    Responsible person is not forgetful.Responsible person does not need to be reminded the same things over and over again. It is enough to say it once for a responsible person to bear it in his mind.A responsible person records all important information, significant assignments or appointments.

  • Where to get joy?

    «The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes» (Psalm 19:8-9).This passage of Scriptures tells us that one of the sources of joy is God’s Word, meditation on the Word and the perception of the (our) world through the prism of the Word. That is why it is so important for us to realize that if we want to remain in joy and learn to draw joy, we must grow in love with God’s Word.
  • What is compassion?

    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.
