GROWING IN GODLINESS
TEXT: 2 PETER 3 V 18; GAL. 4 V 1 – 4
Beloved,
We all discuss everyday, we argue on politics, sports, arts, music and we often spend time discussing ourselves and even one another, but I found out that SPIRITUAL GROWTH is hardly a topic in our homes, libraries and offices.
And I asked myself why? It is interesting to note that for us to get our inheritance from God, we need to mature or grow into the full stature of our savior Jesus Christ. The heir, as long as he is a child is no different from the servant, even though he is lord of all (Gal 4 v 1) as long as we keep on taking three steps forward and two step backward we are not ready to find rest unto our soul, that kind of rest Jesus Christ spoke about in Matthew 11 v 29.
Until we decide to put on the JESUS YOKE and LEARN of Him, we shall continue to languish in the MIRY PITS of ungodliness.
The meaning of ungodliness is ideas, living, standards and paradigms without God. How can a man survive without his God when the Bible declares that ‘FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING” this is to them whom the word of God came to and the scripture cannot be broken. Without God in our lives, our homes, our offices, our schools and even our church we can do NOTHING.
But Beloved there is a path of GRACE, Apostle Peter exhorted you and I to grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that his grace is sufficient for you. If you only continue in his words day to day and year to year, that’s only when his TRUTH will make you free, be instant in all season, watch and pray, thirst after Righteousness so that Anointing can fall on you. Total kingdom commitment is the pathway for abundant living and unfeigned Godliness.
God will help us as we resolve.
