YOU CAN’T BE A BABE FOREVER

For every one that useth milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Hebrews 5:13 KJV
Main Text:

You should be bothered and greatly concerned about your growth in grace and in your relationship with God. The mind of God is to expose unto you the deep secrets of the kingdom provided you are spiritually positioned to catch the vision. You may not be able to do the expected things in the realm of the spirit if you are still operating as a babe, though you have confessed Jesus Christ long time ago. The church today is loaded with so many ‘old’ babies in the things of the spirit and this is one of the reasons why the devil finds it very easy to manipulate our lives to his will. Some of us cannot be disciplined in church for wrong doings, instead you will leave the church. That’s nonsense!

In 1 Corinthians 3:1, Apostle Paul said unto the Corinthians; and I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual... The reason for innumerable spiritual ineffectiveness in our present generation is because we refused to embrace strong discipline. You cannot make the best out of your Christian faith without growing daily unto maturity. Until you are ready to hear and obey the truth, you will abide as a babe in things that relate to the Spiritual. God expects you to move unto adulthood through obedience unto His words. Your devotion to the word and prayers must change positively with every readiness to partake in spiritual exercises. God will not show you greater things to come and hand over better responsibilities unto you except you are ready to take strong words. The Bible says in Galatians 4:1, now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, different nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all.

Can you ask yourself; am I operating as a baby or as a man? Your level of obedience and genuine service to God is your ticket unto sonship. Get unto spiritual maturity.

Prayer:  Father, keep me stand in maturity of faith everyday of my life.
