SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Growth itself is known to be a process of continuous and permanent increase in size and complexity, and spirituality in this sense speaks of Godly increase in man’s journey of being what God saw when he called him man.

“Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea… “

, here God is saying let the things that made me God make man a man. Our growth process as Christians is only a journey of becoming who we were created to be or who we already are.

Now considering a new born child, his mother is never bothered if he doesn’t start to walk after two weeks but certainly will be after two years. Every child is born with the same set of things that made an adult who he is, the only difference is time and growth.

2. Meditation on the Word;

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
