For Spiritual Growth
For Spiritual Growth
John 3:30
1. For all believers who desire meaningful spiritual growth in their walk
with God.
There is no height you cannot attain In the spirit if only you are ready to
take the bull by the horn; do away with every form of hindrance and
follow the principles of spiritual growth laid down in God’s word.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers ye have need that one
teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and
are become such as have need of mild and not of strong meat.
Hebrews 5:12
Jesus expects each believer to grow to the level where he/she can teach
others. In many of the Epistles, the believer is encouraged to grow in
grace and in the knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 3:18). When a believer
refuses to grow, he/she remains a spiritual babe who is unskillful in the
Word. Such baby Christians needs milk and not strong meat.
When we, as believers, begin to apply the truth we know in lives, we will
begin to grow and our knowledge of Christ will also increase. Paul
encourages the believers to be “rooted and built up in Him”: (Col. 2:7).
As believers, we draw our nutrients from Him, i.e. Jesus Christ.
As you pray these prayer points for spiritual growth, the Holy Spirit will
draw you into a deeper and fulfilling relationship with Christ.
That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the
fellowship of His sufferings, being made conformable unto His death;…I
press toward the mark for the price of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus.
Phil 3:10, 14
I am not what the world thinks or say I am. I am not what the devil or the
kingdom of darkness says, imagines or has designed me to be. I am not
the picture of what my idolatrous forefathers wished I would be. I am not
what the unregenerated minds of my friends think I am. I am not what my
father and mother think or want me to be. I am not what my village
wickedness, household wickedness and environmental wickedness want
me to be. I am not a picture of what the national economy and
institutionalized wickedness has restructured the people to be. I am not
what I think I am. I am what the Word of God says I am. I am an express
image of Jehovah God on earth. I am fashioned after the likeness of the
Creator of the heavens and earth.
I am a branch in the vine; Jesus Christ is the true vine because I abide in
Him. I am full of the fruit of the Spirit. I am full of love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control.
Because the grace of God is upon my life as the light of His glory, I am
full of divine favor; I am a partaker of all of heaven’s spiritual blessings.
I have spoken with the tongue of the learned, and as it is written, I shall
be justified by the Words of my mouth. I ask that the Word of God I have
confessed begin to transform me to the original image God designed me
to be in His book. I ask that the blood of Jesus wipe away every mark of
reproach, whether physical or spiritual. I ask for the blood of Jesus to
erase every evil and negative name I was ever called. I nullify every
negative report ever made about me. I cease to be a picture of failure. I
cease to be abased, rejected, forsaken, desolate and downcast. I begin
to manifest, expressly, every good thing God has written about me in His
book. I begin to look fearfully and wonderfully made. I begin to operate at
the head and not the tail. I begin to be a true worshipper of Jehovah El
Shaddai and I begin, from now, to continually praise Him and confess
positively.
Thank God for the new spiritual height He has lifted you to.
