Topic: *THE NEXT LEVEL OF FAITH (GROW INTO A MATURED CHRISTIAN)*
1 Corinthians 2:6-8 King James Version (KJV)
6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:
8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Beloved the message preached or taught to baby or immatured Christians, that is new converts or Christians who have not developed themselves through study of the Word of God, fasting and prayers is not the same as that taught to matured Christians.
Beloved, the wisdom of God is taught to matured Christians who have understanding of the ways of God by reason of constant fellowship with Him through study of His Word, prayers and fasting.
Beloved, receiving the wisdom of God, understanding it, keeping it and applying it doesnt depend on your academic level or your status in this world. It is not what you hear motivational speakers and other academic or non-christian spiritual gurus speak that become of no use in a year or so and have to be updated or totally changed.
The wisdom of God is the oldest you can find around. It is the deepest and you need His Spirit to digest it in you for understanding and application. The understanding and means to apply comes from constant fellowship with Precious Holy Spirit through study of the Word of God, prayers and fasting.
Beloved, even the devil, principalities and their allies did not know the wisdom of God not to talk of understanding the hidden wisdom of God spoken in a mystery.
Beloved, after your faith is rooted in His power, develop yourself through study of the Word of God, prayers and fasting. When you become a matured Christian, the wisdom of God will be revealed to you in many ways, you will have understanding of it and you will be able to apply it effectively.
When you are a baby Christian, all you chase is miracles. This is what get people to jump from one Church to the other in search of their miracle or breakthrough. This chase leads them to many places including fake prophets and teachers. They are always in useless religious or spiritual arguments and always want to condemn others and seek their down fall. They get deceived, lose their way and it takes only the mercy and grace of God to bring them back to the light.
Beloved, matured Christians have understanding of the Word of God, are in tune with the voice of God, know the mysteries of God revealed in His wisdom and they know the ways of God. They fear God and have His wisdom to operate according to His will. These people don't argue unnecessarily and don't engage in looking for the downfall of others.
May God strengthen His children who are matured to help the immature ones grow by teaching them and encouraging them to hold on to what they have well and seek to develop.
Beloved, *ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS* and no one else. Study the Word of God, pray and fast to develop yourself to become a matured Christian full of the wisdom of God.
Prayer: Daddy please draw me close to you, to fellowship with you always, pray and fast as well as study your Word always. Daddy by the hands and heart of a Father, train me to become the child you have always wanted me to be in the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen. Thank you Daddy.
_EXHIBIT YOUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS AND THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY SHALL SURELY REWARD YOU_
