The Fruitfulness of yielding
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. (John 12:24) One of the greatest principles in God’s Kingdom is the principle of yielding. The Lord Jesus taught that a seed must first be planted […]
Intentional Spiritual Growth
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 3:18) Spiritual growth does not happen automatically. Just as physical development requires nourishment and exercise, spiritual advancement requires intentional commitment to God’s Word and the Holy Spirit. Nobody accidentally becomes spiritually mature. Growth happens when we consistently choose […]
Walk in the Spirit Daily
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14) Many people think spiritual growth happens automatically with time, but that is not true. Maturity comes from walking with God consistently. A person may have been in church for many years, but if he is not […]
You Are Not Without Direction
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. (John 16:13) Life is not meant to be a mystery for the believer. God never intended for you to walk through life confused, uncertain, or without direction. He gave you the Holy Spirit to guide you, instruct you, and […]
Refuse to Get Distracted from God’s Plan
No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God (Luke 9:62). Distraction is one of the enemy’s most subtle and effective tools.

Discipline is binding and enforcing oneself to walk on certain laid-down principles and ways, while destroying every desire and craving to walk outside those principles. It is very important […]
Sons on Assignment
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery… that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.(Romans 11:25) Spiritual maturity does not exist for personal comfort alone; it exists for divine assignment. After God brings His sons into growth and stability, He […]
Never Ignore God’s Voice
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. (John 10:27) God is always speaking, but not everyone hears Him or responds. Some believers reach a point where God must allow uncomfortable situations to get their attention. This is never His desire, but when a person refuses His gentle promptings, they […]
The Discipline of Consistency
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2). Consistency is one of the most powerful virtues of spiritual maturity. In the kingdom of God, greatness is not measured by how quickly you start, but by how faithfully you continue. The you learn to stay consistent—doing the right things […]
Thinking Big with God
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us (Ephesians 3:20).
