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.

  • Let God do His work in your life. There is only good in Him!

    God was following His goal – to change His prophet character. God also wants to change me and you. To accomplish this goal He would allow serious problems in our life, if necessary. God can destroy things that prevent us from changing, because He can easily create the same things again afterwards.
  • How accountability helps us to change and grow spiritually?

    Accountability is a sincere confession or opening of one’s secrets of his Christian walk to the others in the atmosphere of mutual trust. We are ready to give account of what we do with our lives, what we understand or do not understand, in what areas are weak or in need of assistance. When we are accountable we are willing to admit whether we are growing or not. We are able to give account of what we are learning in order to receive support, encouragement or correction.
  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? II

    Apart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings. Also feelings have a voice. But neither this voice always reflects what God says. Our feelings are changing, quite often they depend on outer factors – our mood, weather, how tired we are, etc. If we listen to our feelings only, our chances to constant success are eliminated.For instance, you can often feel lonely, weak, unloved, a failure, etc. Nevertheless, such feelings often do not accord with reality. If you are lead by your feelings and take them as truth, you will not be able to enjoy the life in abundance that God has prepared for you. God gives this life only to those who hear His voice and follow Him!
  • Greatness starts with little things!

    Begin using the little things you have and be faithful and consistent in it; then you will be surprised to see what can grow out of it. The seed of greatness is in every person right now. But this seed will grow and bring harvest only if you will plant it and use it according to its original purpose.«A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation. I, the Lord, will hasten it in its time» (Isaiah, 60:22).
  • How can we earn promotion? II

    Who of you desires for God to be with you as the Partner at home, at work, and everywhere else? God wants it more than we do. But God can not deviate from His principles. Many believers deceive themselves thinking that God is with them, even though their life does not testify of it. It is a paradox. You may think that since God has promised to be with you and never to leave you or forsake you, He is indebted to be with you. It is also possible that God is with us, but not in a pleasant way. It is not about God; it is about how we live.
  • Take care of the house of God, and then God will take care of your problems and lift you up!

    God sends this word for a particular purpose – to exalt every one of His children because He loves everyone the same way. I hope God lifts us up to a new level spiritually and materially. But first the truth must be recorded in our hearts. This truth needs to be established in us to keep and guard our hearts.Pray and ask God to show you the situations where you have mistreated people and then repent. New opportunities and new doors can not be opened for us until we repent of our sins.
