Why you must grow 1.

"Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;"

Galatians 4:1

The Bible is teaching us from our opening scripture that we cannot function in the fullness of our authority in Christ unless we grow. If you don't grow, you will be limited in your spiritual life. You will be weak and God will not be able to do much with your life.

The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 4:16, "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day." This shows us that there ought to be a daily renewal in our spirits. In other words we ought to be growing daily. If you are going to grow daily, then you must know that spiritual growth is intentional. There must be things that you do daily for your spiritual growth.

Spiritual growth requires a regimen. You must organize yourself for growth. Most of the challenges some Christians are experiencing in their lives is because they are not growing. The more you grow the more victories you will experience. So, you can actually measure your growth. Are you still struggling with the same bad habits and oppressions you had five or ten years ago? It is because you have not grown.

As you grow, the limitations will be broken off your mind. You will begin to think and talk differently. Your words will be more consistent with the Word of God. Your understanding of the Word of God will be deepening. You will stop the bad habits because your desires to satisfy the cravings of the flesh will weaken.

Therefore I encourage you to meditate on the Word of God daily for your spiritual nourishment and growth.
