Growth is a process.

Wednesday, October  5th
Growth is a process.

“And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit.”
2 Corinthians 3:18(AMP)

Spiritual growth is a process. For instance, if you got born again today, you do not suddenly become spiritually mature tomorrow. It requires a process in the Word of God for you to become spiritually mature.

Our opening scripture shows us that as we continue to behold the glory of God in the Word of God we are constantly being transfigured into the image of Christ in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another.

Therefore one of the evidence of spiritual growth is change. In other words, there will be constant transformation in your character and conduct by the influence of God's Word on your spirit.

You can actually examine yourself by your character and conduct to know if you have actually grown spiritually. Are you talking differently from the way you use to? Is your character more like Christ now? Examine yourself and then be willing to make the necessary adjustments by practicing the Word of God daily.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you fill me with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding even as I apply myself to the tutelage of your Word; that I might walk worthy of You, pleasing You in every way, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of You, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Romans 12:2, Ephesians 4:22-24, James 1:22-25.

Doing the Word
Sincerely examine yourself and decide on the adjustments you need to make for your spiritual growth this month.
