One of the major characteristics of living things is growth; whatever lives must grow.
Col 3:10 ( And have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him)
Plants do grow and so do trees, including all animals. Even the earth we walk upon grows because there is life in it; that is why it’s able to bring forth things to the benefit of humanity.
Human souls are dead the day they’re born into the world. They may grow in the body, but no life in their spirit that supposed to energize the souls.
Humans do grow in the flesh, and so also businesses, including wealth, because of the life impacted in creation.
A child that’s not growing needs urgent medical attention. If not, it will die sooner or later.
Since Adam separated from God in Eden, the life of God that kept the souls alive to Him departed, and it resulted in the decadence of the souls.
It starts the moment we’re born; as the body grows, the decadence increases because of the rigour mortis involved.
This starts manifesting through the works of the flesh; this is the evidence of decadence that proves the life of God is no more inside; if there is no relationship with Christ on time, it’ll lead to physical and eternal death.
It’s when our old nature dies that the growth of the souls begins, it’s the entrance of God in a life that destroys Adam’s nature which gives way to the development of our spirit: that’s why the Bible says, ” for ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God” which start our spiritual growth to reach the level of Christ stature.
Know that this growth is infinite because our attainment is Christ’s stature, not the level of our leaders.
Some things are attracted to the decayed corpses; the flies and maggots are the results of rigor Mortis. Likewise, the world’s problems and its afflictions are attracted to the souls that are dead.
Moral teaching is just to suppress the manifestation of the hidden decadence of the heart from affecting others but it’s only the blood of Jesus Christ that can eradicate and perform the permanent cleansing.
Religion can’t do much. It only energises the flesh to rely on its power to fight the rottenness of the souls.
If the power of the new birth isn’t quickly applied, that rottenness will increase till it grows to damn the soul in the end.
It’s the new birth that brings life to the soul, quickens it to be alive in God, and destroys the power of the rottenness, which is the works of the flesh.
It’s the living water of the world that cleanses from every filthiness acquired in our dead state.
Whatever is happening in a life that is without God is a result of the work of the flesh; dead things attract flies, so also, dead life attracts problems with afflictions of life to itself till it choked.
Our dream life is the indicator that something is wrong with our life and that we need urgent attention to get rid of it.
It’s when we are born again that our souls are revived to experience the new life of God that transforms and destroys the power of death and grave in our life.
We are no more dead but alive in God since we have received eternal life in Christ, who interrupted the cause of human decadence and brought us over to Him since He is the life of men. Without Him, we are meant to die physically and spiritually.
The fruit of the spirits is evidence that we are alive in God, as the works of the flesh are destroyed by the pure water of His blood anywhere it touches.
If you’re not growing after you claim to have experienced the life of God, maybe you are lying, or you are not being fed with the milk of the word that will energise your soul with the power of the world to come, which is the Holy Spirit.
There is no way your soul will be regenerated that the thirst for the word won’t come on you; your soul will always seek His presence and will call onto the deep down in your soul.
Even if you’re not being fed properly wherever you are, your soul will search for a place with enough spiritual nutrients; this work is performed by the spirit of God within.
If you claim to born again and still remain in a dead church, it only means that you attract your likes, like attract likes.
Jesus Christ is the real life of man He revive any life He has contact with.
Wherever he had contact with the dead in the Bible, He made sure He bring them back to life, he never attend funerals, that is the works he is still performing till now.
He revived us to live in the will of His Father.
All the works of the flesh is listed in the book of Galatians 5:19 and wherever it manifest indicates lack of life.
There is no way you will have this life that it won’t reflect in your character, this is the growth Jesus is talking about, this is the evidence of your salvation.
We grow to seek the things above where Christ is seated in the right hand of God, our growth isn’t seeking what will draw our us back to the world and damn it.
Works of the flesh is the manifestation of souls decadence which must not happen in a regenerated soul.
Even though some Christians claimed they’d been born again for years but the lack of His fruit is the evidence of negativity.
How do you talk of someone that has been born again for years and still gather with reprobate to plan rebellion?
By their fruit ye shall known them, it’s either you’re born again and grow to reach the stature of Christ or you die, there is no middle ground for this.
The more we grow spiritually the more we desire to know Him and the more we draw closer to Him by abiding in his word and follow his teaching.
There are problems that won’t go till we grow pass it’s level, no amount of deliverance prayers can solve it unless growth take place and dislodge the hidden place of darkness.
The reason many Christians are still languishing under familiar spirits of their
household is that they’re yet to discover the root of their problems as they refuse to grow.
The more you know about him and His word is the more you applied it to your life and the more his light illuminate and dislodge that darkness.
A child of ten years that’s not talking or walking is a serious concern for the parents, like wise a born again child of God that still behave like babes would not make God happy, it’s either you remain cold or become hot, else he will spue you out of his mouth.
Prayer: My Father and my God bring me up to your level and let me abide in you always in Jesus name amen
