SPIRITUAL MATURITY
FOCUS WORD: SPIRITUAL MATURITY
FOCUS VERSE: James 1: 4 - Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
DECLARATION: Maturity is forming in me today; patience perfects the work God began.
Maturity is developed through a process: Spiritual maturity does not happen instantly, but over time. In this age when everything is instant, spiritual maturity is developed through time, testing and a faithful walking with God. In Genesis 5: 24, we read of Enoch walking with God for 300 years and then he was lifted up to heaven. 300 years is a very long time of testing and Enoch passed the test.
Ecclesiastes 7: 8 - Better is the end of a thing than its beginning.
Hebrews 6: 1 - Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity,
Philippians 3: 12 - Not that I am perfect, but I press on.
God is very patient with us in our growth process. It takes plenty of time and effort to bring up a child. God too, gives all His attention and effort to nurture us into maturity. Transformation happens progressively.
Perseverance produces depth: Persistence and perseverance trains and matures people. Trials can harden people or mature them. We tend to pray that our trials may soon cease when we ought to be praying that we rise up in faith to walk over these problems. The weak in spirit may fall away, but the faithful rise up in faith and come out victorious. The Holy Spirit is inviting you to rise up in faith and be a conqueror. Patience, stability, discernment, humility, endurance - this is how our character is built.
John 16: 33 - In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Romans 5: 4 - And endurance produces character
1 Peter 5: 10 - And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.
Psalm 66: 12 - We went through fire and water; yet You have brought us out to a place of abundance.
Deep roots grow in hard rocky soil.
Spiritual maturity displays in daily conduct: Maturity is not measured by spiritual language or knowledge. Spiritual maturity in a person is displayed in his words, actions, relationships, decisions, etc. Character reveals maturity.
Galatians 5: 22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, …..
Proverbs 15: 1 - A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Colossians 4: 6 - I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts.
God desires wholeness, not partial growth: God calls for a balanced spiritual growth. Some grow in gifting, but not in character. Others grow in knowledge but not in love. True maturity touches the whole personality.
Ephesians 4: 13 - Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
3 John 1: 2 - Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
2 Peter 3: 18 - But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Healthy spiritual growth is holistic, well-built in every area. Let us pray for a spiritual growth that is holistic and encompasses all that belongs to us.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
