Be Conscious of Your Spiritual Growth
1 Peter 2:2; Ephesians 1:17-19.
1 Peter 2:2 “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:”
Leverage Devotional For Today Message:
Growth is a vital part of life; it is a measure of life and value. Everything living grows, and everything growing increases in value. When anyone gets born again, the priority is to settle in Church and begin to grow in the things of God. Growth is a product of feeding and exercise; it is the effect of good feeding. As Christians, God wants us to feed on the Word for spiritual growth; for man shall not live by bread alone but by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). God wants you to give diligent attention to the Word to facilitate spiritual growth. Just as a baby feeds on natural milk, the sincere milk of the Word is what a new believer ought to feed on for growth. This is facilitated by personal devotion to God through personal study of the word, prayers, and consistent Church attendance. You need to have a daily Bible study time and a healthy Church life to learn the Word. 2 Timothy 2:15 tells us, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” If you pray before you begin to study, asking the Lord to flood the eyes of your understanding with light and cause you to see the things that He has prepared for you, the Spirit of wisdom will begin to open your eyes. As the Word comes to you, you will see things in the Word of God with the eyes of your heart.
Beloved, be deliberate in your walk with God. Have a personal life of devotion to God; a personal walk with God that moves you beyond the realm of presumption into seeing things in the Word of God. Don’t fake it; be real. Have a real walk with real results. In Genesis 5:24, scripture says “And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.” Hebrews 11:5 shows us how Enoch walked with God. “By faith, Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” For three hundred years, Enoch walked with God; he kept pace with God, walking by faith and he pleased God. How? By faith. Fundamentally, the life of the believer is that of faith, for the just shall live by faith. To successfully live by faith, you must give attention to the word of God and as you do this, your profiting will appear to all.
MY SOLID FRONT (YOUR CONFESSION):
In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I give attention to the Word and as I do, my profiting is evident to all. I grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Further Meditation: Proverbs 4:20-22; 1 Timothy 4:15.
