SHALOM greetings Cherished one. AS you journey in Christ, you’ll encounter different levels of growth. Thus, God expects His children to grow from faith to faith and from glory to glory. A stagnant lifestyle is never His utmost desire for you. Stagnation is a disease and tragedy in the spirit realm. An English dictionary defines being stagnant as ” lacking freshness, motion, flow, progress, or change; stale; motionless; still”. However, God encourages freshness, transformation, motion and life of influence.

So the pathway to growth is to earnestly DESIRE, crave or thirst for the SINCERE, undiluted, unadulterated, pure word of God. Every heart desire is truly rewarded when it’s genuinely and persistently pursued. You pursue by taken specific steps. As you need healthy food in the natural to grow healthily, so it is in the spirit. You need to “eat and drink” from God’s word till you become mature. This is how to experience spiritual growth, continuous feasting on the word of God and applying it.

Friend, wherever there is no craving for the word, no growth is achieved, no matter how the person shouts in ignorance. We are to always grow into maturity in Christ. Your growth will be evident in your talk, thinking and attitude towards God, the things of God and other people. Beloved, true growth in Christ starts by desiring to feed on the milk of the word till you graduate to “breaking bones”. This is your day and time to earnestly grow at all levels. Take the responsibility and time to grow. The rich grace of our Lord Jesus Christ abounds towards you always.

I DECLARE

Your word is food to my soul and living water to my life. My life blossoms by it. It brings me into the atmosphere of beauty and the sweet fragrance of the Holy Spirit. I live an incorruptible life born of the incorruptible Word. I receive help from the Spirit to crave more word and prayer for much growth. I refuse to remain a spiritual dwarf or babe. I choose to live as a great giant for God in Jesus Blessed Name. Hallelujah!
