TODAY'S BIBLE READING:1 Corinthians 13
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 13:11 (KJV)
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
TODAY'S TOPIC: GROW INTO MATURITY
There are phases of spiritual development for the believer in Christ.We can use natural things to explain a lot of spiritual truths.For example, in the same way every human is born fully human but still needs to grow into maturity so it is for the recreated human spirit.Just as it is in the natural from childhood to adulthood, so it is spiritually. Spiritually speaking we are told how to identify a child; a child is identified by how he speaks and what he says, his understanding and his level of thinking.If you speak, understand and think like a child then you are still a child; when you become a man you will put away childish things.Spiritual maturity affects speech, understanding and thinking.Remember that everyone who receives Christ starts as a spiritual infant and needs to grow into maturity.No one becomes spiritually mature instantly, spiritual growth is progressive.At the same time, no one is meant to remain a spiritual infant forever.The scripture says “when I became a man”,which means he became spiritual mature.You can also become spiritually mature in Christ.Spiritual development is not for the Pastor,Evangelist or Prophet; it is for every believer in Christ.Give attention to your spiritual development; constantly and deliberately feed yourself with the word of his grace.It will build you up.This is what this devotional is helping you with, constant feeding for continuous development.Faith to Faith Devotional is taking you from childhood to adulthood; even as spiritual adults we don't stop growing.Keep growing in Christ.
