Spiritual growth in Christ


   God’s desire is that you will grow as Christians. He doesn’t want you to feel comfortable with the level you are now; there are many rooms for improvement. In the book of 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” KJV.  As a baby Christian, you cannot access everything God has prepared for you. There are some levels of glory you cannot experience if you are not growing.
   God want you to come up to the level where you will be able to know that sickness, poverty or lack is not possible for you. This is the realm of glory, a realm where divinity reigns. There is where God wants you to be. The opening text says “… the heir, long as he is a child, different nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all.” An heir who is not growing can also suffer like a servant because he is still under bondage. This is why God want every Christian to grow.
How to grow spiritually

   God has given us everything that we need for our growth both physically and spiritually. In the book of 2 Peter 1:3, “according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” KJV. Everything you need to live a healthy life and godly life is in the knowledge of Jesus Christ; you don’t need any extra knowledge. 1Peter 2:2, “As new babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby” KJV. This portion is letting us to know that the word of God is our milk which we should desire for healthy Christian growth, Praise God! Paul, in the acts of the Apostle put it this way Acts 20:32, “ And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified” KJV. The word of God has the ability to build you up; you need God meaning you need to give your life to Christ and you need to study or learn the word of God if your desire is to have inheritance among the saints of God.
Praise God!

You are alive by the Spirit

    But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you Romans 8:11. God gave birth to us by the Word, through the spirit. You’re not ordinary person if you are in Christ or if you have the new life in Christ Jesus. The human life you received from your parents has been replaced, supplanted, by the divine life of Christ. 1 Peter 1:23 says, “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of corruptible, by the word of god, which liveth and abideth forever.”    Often, I tell people that Christianity is more than a legal document; it’s a vital experience; there’s a true life from Christ beating in your heart which is the new life in Christ Jesus. The natural man (anyone without the New Life in Christ Jesus or anyone who is not born again) lives by blood, but a Christian lives by the Spirit. No wonder Jesus, referring to the ne...

The Reign of Death is over

  Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come (Romans 5:14)  Satan became the god of this earth because he got it from Adam who lost out through disobedience, resulting significantly in the reign of death. Remember, God had told Adam, “… in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). He was talking about spiritual death; spiritual death is the cause of physical death. So, our theme verse says, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses (the Law of Moses)…”  But who had the power of death? The Bible says, “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is the devil” (Hebrews 2:14). Satan was actually behind this reign of death. Now, here’s something exciting that I want ...

The Divinity of Jesus

   “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father; but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, have seen him” John 14:6-7.   “Is Jesus really God?”   This is one question many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God ” John 1:1. That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh-Jesus- and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth” John 1:14.     Now, the prophecy that came forth before the birth of Jesus also foretold His divinity: “Behold, a virgin shall be with a child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanue...
