Spiritual Maturity

PATHFINDER's PRAYER & PRAISES featuring: "GOSPEL***ON***THE***AIR " and the day's "Wonderful Word for the Whole World" In honour of our Lord and Savior, Christ-Jesus, as I most humbly present the Serial Write-up tagged:

"THE SPIRITUAL-CHRISTIAN" {Part 7} with the sub-titled Topic: SPIRITUAL-MATURITY.On the topic as a 'Spiritually Matured Christian', the book of {Hebrew 5 : 12} says thus: " For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

" THE FIVE FINGER DIVINE-GIFTS OF GOD.....AND WHERE DO YOU FALL IN? ....TAKE YOUR CHOICE {T.Y.C} The book of {Ephesians 4 : 11- 14} going further for you to know where you fall in say thus: " And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.

WHAT ARE THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS MEANT FOR?  For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.....Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

That we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting." WHAT NEXT???....AFTER SALVATION.

After 'SALVATION' , you as a believer is expected to start the process of 'SPIRITUAL-GROWTH' which could be likened to how a baby grows from living on ordinary milk to some light solid meal and eventually developing to the stage of cracking  real bones at adulthood, a Christian need to grow from the stage of taking the ' MILK OF THE WORD' to the stage of 'SPIRITUAL BONE CRACKER ' That 'SPIRITUAL MATURITY' is achieved by growing to become more like Christ-Jesus. ( To be continued) .....JESUS.....IS.....LORD!.....Amen.....
