Spiritual growth is INTENTIONAL. There, I said it. It does not depend on anything else but you, of course with God's help but you are the major determinant. Most of us Christians have refused to grow spiritually. The bible refers to them as infants. Imagine a baby who refuses to grow! Oh my, what a cause of stress it is!
You must set apart time to pray in your busy schedule. You must sit down, open the bible and read it. You must listen to Godly music and stop listening to trashy songs. You must seek out company of Godly friends to fellowship with. We must Flee from temptation (as in, run away very fast and far).
For all of us who sit around wishing that spiritual maturity will just find you, I know this post has bust your bubble. Ain't no other way sisters! Get up today and do something. Start moving. God is waiting. He does not leave us or forsake us, it is us who move away from him.
Let us stop being baby Christians who are still suckling milk even after being born again for years! Make a conscious decision today and intentionally (putting effort and being discipline) draw closer to God. Feed on God's word and grow!
Like new born babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it, you may grow up in your salvation 1st Peter 2:2
I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it....For since there is jelousy and quarelling among you, are you not worldly? 1st Corinthians 3: 2-3
Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. Hebrews 5:13
