A child of God who is not rooted and mature in the word of God, what will you deliver or teach them? Many of us as be in a senerio that unbeliever will asked us something in the bible and we won't be able to deliver, they will now be the one to teach us.
I found myself in it before I gained my admission then, and I was 😔😔. This makes me to cry to God and that holy spirit help me.
The Bible says that GOD CAN NOT BE MOCKED, WHATSOEVER A MAN SOW, HE SHALL REAP
When we sow into our spirit man via the word of God, we will surely reap it.
Vs 13
Anyone who still desire milk is not matured in the word of righteousness
Vs 14
But strong meat, belong to them that are fully matured to the point that we can design good and evil
Because of our immaturity, many of us can't discern the good from evil. Our spiritual man is so dull that we can't even discern the voice of God and that of the devil.
But when we dig more into the scripture more and more, we will be able to discern good from evil, God from devil
1 Corinthians 13 vs 11
[NLT] - 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things.
1 cor 14 vs 20
[NLT] - 1 Corinthians 14:20 Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind.
[NLT] - Philippians 3:15 Let all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you.
I want us to go through those scripture and I believe and pray that we will understand more. The word of God brings light to a man who want to grow spiritually.
Prayer is good, But without the word, you don't know how to pray. I do say something that ALL THE PRAYER POINT A NEED IN LIFE, IS FROM THE SCRIPTURE.
All those our primary school short prayer like:
- The Lord is my shepherd
- The Lord prayer
- Lord contend with them that contend with me and all
Many lost their battle in the dream bcos they are not matured in the word of God
Beloved we must be matured to the point that when the devil or his agent try to attack us, they will confront him with IT IS WRITTEN.
It's only a matured Christian knows how to engage the word by IT IS WRITTEN.
This was what Jesus used to over the temptation of the devil
IT IS WRITEN
And lastly, let us all embrace, cry out for the fruit of the spirit
Gal 5 vs 22-23
If we can uproot the fruit or the activities of the flesh and allow the holy spirit to let His fruit manifest in our lives, then we become a mature christian indeed.
Not by mouth
Zechariah 4 vs 6
NOT BY MIGHT, NOT BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD.
In conclusion
A child of God who does not read and meditate in the scripture, will be a prey to the devil. I pray we won't be a prey for the devil in Jesus name
