Maturity comes clothed with humility and gratitude. As you grow, in knowledge of God’s Word and discover the talents and gifts God has bestowed upon you, you must also grow in your understanding of it and mature. There are several christians who are extremely knowledgeable and gifted, yet have made no achievement for the kingdom because they lack maturity.

If you are gifted and wise, that’s God’s doing in your life, and you must be humble and grateful about it. Those who haven’t chosen to mature spiritually, they lack this attribute. One who is not humble and grateful about what they are and who they have been made by God, they are often repulsive. Nobody likes “a know it all.” But boy, when you cloth your wisdom and gifts in humility and gratitude, it polishes your ability to impact the world for the Gospel. One who is immature in the Spirit may have so much deposited inside him, yet would fail to be a shining and burning light of God. That’s the difference spiritual maturity makes in the lives of Christians.

Always remember, what God has put in you, is not only about you; it’s for you to impact the world for His kingdom; it is for you to show forth His glory and power; it is for you to be His extended hand of love, healing and grace to this world. Therefore, make a choice to mature in the Spirit, and humility and gratitude will follow you, such that everything you do is full of impact and power. Until you mature you remain a slave to the elements of this world( ref. Galatians 4:1).

Prayer:
Precious Heavenly Father, I thank You for teaching me ways of maturity through your Word. I exude humility and gratitude in my ways as I choose to mature in the Spirit. I’m chosen for making an impact with this Gospel and I do that by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!

As a Christian in this world, you are an extension of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Therefore, you cannot remain a child in the Spirit for long. You must mature and grow in your walk with the Lord.

To mature is to know what to do and how to do it, according to God’s will and plan; and then do it. One may have all the knowledge of God’s Word and His will but until they choose to act on it, it is of non-effect. Therefore, maturity is a choice. God has made you an extension of Jesus Christ on earth, it’s true; but you may still continue to live an ordinary life if you don’t choose to mature. Look at our main verse, it says that until an heir is a child, he is no better than a servant. Why? Because he has not attained the maturity to reign in his authority and power, even though he is the rightful inheritor of it. The same is the case of a Christian who chooses to remain a child spiritually.

Thus, you must train your mind through the Word, yield yourself to the Spirit of God through prayer and meditation to mature. You must act on every guidance you receive from the Spirit of God and your leaders in Christ, without hesitation or fear. That’s the way to choose maturity. You have a trainable mind, remember that and continually transform your mind by renewing it through the Word of God.

Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for making me an extension of Jesus Christ in this world. I choose to mature in the Spirit by choosing to fill myself with the knowledge of your Word and meditating there in day and night. I know what to do and how to do it according to your will, and I execute it by the power of the Spirit. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!
