Grow Deeper in GOD!
Text: _“After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter”_…Revelation 4:1
Growth is not an event, it is a process. As believers, God is calling us all to grow up to maturity, so we must be deliberate about our growth. You can never be celebrated if you don’t grow up, there’s a glory that comes with every level. As you move up in your walk with God, the level of glory upon your life increases. That’s why you must never be satisfied with the level you are today, you must continue to climb the ladder of growth in Christ every day. Spiritual growth happens through consistent reading and meditating on the word of God, praying, fasting, preaching the gospel and putting your faith to work. The major proof that you’re growing as a believer is how much of Christ your life reflects. Demonstration of gifts of the Spirit is good, but is necessarily not a proof that you are mature as a believer. It is manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit and nature of God in your life that is the true test of maturity. You become what you behold (2 Corinthians 3:18). Your growth is your personal responsibility; you can’t delegate it to someone.
When a believer solely relies upon and looks for prophets to see vision for him or her, it’s a sign of immaturity. Don’t get it wrong, we are not saying that God cannot send a message to you through His servants or prophets, but you need to understand that you have equal access to God, and can seek Him personally to know His mind and plans for your life. It is better when the words of your man of God is a confirmation to what God has been telling you in your closet. It will make you believe God and your man of God more than speculations. God wants each of us to leave the elementary level, and grow up to higher heights of spiritual experience. It is at this level that you can demonstrate your full potentials as a child of God. Don’t stop, don’t relax, don’t go down, don’t give up, “COME UP HIGHER” says the Lord!
Prayer:
Lord God, help me answer to the call to higher levels in You in Jesus’ Name
