Message by Pastor Dele Efuwape
Spiritual maturity is see life from the right view and not old ways; when You are better than yesterday then you are matured, You are not suppose to repeat the same errors you committed yesterday, 1cor 1:18; 'For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God'
The spirit is foolishness to the flesh, you will never be matured in life If you take dicision without knowing why you stand for it.
To be stupid and foolish in the face of others and still stand is maturity because what seems right and accepted to people is not right before God.
The real practice of Christianity is not appreciated so a matured Christian will not seek to be appreciated, if your life is being appreciated even by church goers is because you are not matured so you look accepted to them. We have the link ,the word,the spirit to make us matured and everyone will take responsibility for his/her growth
the day you come to church to know Christ must be different from your present life,and your life has not changed from that first time to come to Christ then you are not growing.
When God has given you all the necessary ingredients to grow up,and yet you refuse to grow it's means God will and can hold you responsible for whatever you do wrong.
characteristic babe christians
1. God will expose your sin so that you can be corrected,but when your sin is been covered it means you are trouble
2. They lack strength for maturity.
3. They lack spiritual knowledge; Rom 8:1 knowledge of doing gal 6:8, knowledge of Christianity,
4. They can't Distinguished between right and wrong they do what seems right.
Note: Maturity is not optional if you must meet up with God's standard.
Prayer:
Oh Lord give me the strength and drive for spiritual maturity in Jesus name.
