Growth Is Essential

Nobody can fathom the mind of God, but we can be made to understand his will. And for that reason, us that have surrendered our lives to him ( Christ) that is the author and finisher of our faith stand a better position to grasp his will. Time to fight over faith, and raft of beliefs will get us no where. Consigning God to our traditional gospel exegesis won't make us smarter in our theological thoughts and inclinations. Revelatory propensity whose architects tend to limit God in his dealings will always miss crucial leads and points.

Maturity is required in all aspects. There isn't anyone that has it all or knows it all. "Unique as our abilities-through his gifts will dictate-we still need to advance in his will. We can't limit his power, we can't relegate him to dimensions that we think he does operate in." As we grow in him, we stand a better chance of becoming the recipients of the revelatory aspects that appertain to his Kingdom. 


Christ wasn't understood; they couldn't; not when they saw things through the prism of flesh, and traditions which most of them spend time learning. We spend time arguing about who is right and who isn't. In most cases, we entirely engage in spiritual trivialities, which hold no water, and means absolutely nothing when it comes to understanding God's will.


 In the book of mark; we do see clearly the intent of John and some others, who believed that it was only them and the company that were mandated to execute Christ's will. "For they came across one casting demons like them and they forbade him, simply because he didn't belong to their company."

Mar 9:38 And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. Mar 9:39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. Mar 9:40 For he that is not against us is on our part. Mar 9:41 For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.

 This shows us with a lot of credence for a fact that they still didn't grasp the full intent of God. Many still don't grasp the intents of Christ. "We therefore need to advance beyond dimensions we are operating in, so that we can be able to see clearly by application of eye salve purchased from him." There are dimensions we need to start operating in, especially those that make us sit with Christ in heavenly places. It's not about who can preach so well, or teach well, or who runs a mega-church, or has the most sought-after ministry; rather one that has an ability to walk with Christ daily. "And in the same breath overcoming such things as those that hamper spiritual growth; the very things that quench the spirit, and the same one that is truly a lover of God."

 Anytime we start operating within the confines of religious dogmas, and feeling more superior than others. Then we will find out that we are missing the point big time."John attests to this in his gospel when he does say; that he came to his own and his own received him not: but as many as received him; gave he the power to become the sons of God. He is now aware of some things that were literally not exposed to him prior to Christ ascendency, and the coming of the spirit of God to In-dwell them that believed on him."


 This is the time to know God intimately. "Once we make strides in aspects expected of us: we shall therefore come to understand the mystery of his will in the gospel handed to us. And we shall contend for the faith that was once delivered to the apostles and which also is delivered to us." We have to prioritize this, and give it the attention it deserves. Only immature people engage in fights, rivalry, and certain challenges aimed at seeing who is better than the other. Children do this all the time as they grow, but they that have come of age engage not in such things that are equated, and seen to belong to babes."


 "Let's therefore grow in him. And become responsible saints, who are ready to scale spiritual heights without being antagonized by negative propensities designed to derail any advancement in the spheres of power. Growth is vital, and when we don't grow, it is evident that something is wrong somewhere."
