TOPIC: PAUL’S WORD TO BELIEVERS. Grow To Maturity (2)
MEMORY VERSE:
2 Corinthians 13:11
11 Dear brothers and sisters, I close my letter with these last words: Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you.
BIBLE READING:
Hebrews 5:12-14.
“12. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Welcome to the message of Apostle Paul to all believers. Yesterday, we digged at the Word, “Be Joyful” in all situation. Today, we shall be studying the second words of Paul’s word which says, “Grow To Maturity”. When Paul said this, what did he really meant? Maturity in Christianity means to study the word of God and gain God’s approval as His son’s and daughter. To become like Him in words, action a d thought. Many believers still live the way they were after years of coming to Christ. They still depend on being taught the foundation of Christianity, “do’s and don’t do” of Christianity. Many still find it difficult to run from sin and are controlled by flesh.
Paul said, it’s time to grow out of babe and to maturity, where we will also be the teachers of the word and not student for life. We need to be breaking bones and not drinking milk. We need to be strong in the Lord in our prayer live and not waiting for someone to pray for us. It’s time to be more committed to doing the biddings of God and not depending on others for our walk with God. Increase your study time for God’s word and increase your praying time, be more focus on pleasing God. It’s time to be a mature Christian. I pray that we all overcome that battle against our maturity in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Good Day and God bless you.
