WHEN AN ADULT IS AN INFANT.


Text: Gal 4:1
  Now what I mean is that as long as the inheritor (heir) is a child and under age, he does not differ from a slave, although he is the master of all the estate;

Memorise: Gal. 4:4
  But when the proper time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born subject to [the regulations of] the Law,

Message:
  Maturity does not come with age,and the post or title of a person doesn't make such mature. When fully grown man is a child like in attitude and spiritual growth such will be a slave to his desire,parents, lust,things of this world. Therefore bible confirms that until he comes to full growth in christ he will remain a boy(infant) and a slave,then what can he do?
1. You need to recognise that you're an infant.
2. You must be ready to pay the necessary sacrifice.
3. You need to start learning from men,because its takes men to build men
4. You must be subjected to spiritual, psychological and moral training to make you become a man.
5. You must let go of the infant spirit; taking instructions from your parents  or easy change of mind after decision is made with a friend or spouse.
6. You must start to develop an independent spirit; learn to think without help from anyone,don't be attached to people in regards to your home or future.
   A very crucial part of becoming a man is independence,many MARRIED  but infant in attitude  find it difficult to be independent in thinking, spirit, mentally,financially and in decision making, many will say since my brothers and sisters are rich I must put all my life problems on them, I tell u its an infant spirit: remember I told you before that a boy(infant) spirit is a begger.
   Be free from influence, some married infants either man or woman can not stand on the decision made with their spouse.

Note:
  Its takes a man' s heart to be a man and its takes a man to rule a family or your own life, either you are man or woman you need a man's heart.

Prayer:
Oh Lord make me a kind of man you need and you can depend on in Jesus name.
