GROW MAN GROW!!

"Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,....desire the sincere milk of the Word, that ye may GROW by:". 1 Peter 2:1-2. My friend, do you know that "when God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head? There are a number of things which keep us in the barnyard of infant Christianity, when God's highest purpose for us is to grow to flying maturity. It's important to grow and grow up. Most of us are concerned about growing up, aren't we? I heard a story about a young mother who is a medical doctor was taking her four year old daughter to preschool in their car. She left her stethoscope on the seat where her daughter can reach it. She noticed her child was quite interested in the stethoscope and was playing with it. Mother thought "could it be that my daughter will grow up to follow my footsteps"? Just then her thoughts were interrupted as her daughter spoke into the stethoscope and said "Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order please". Well, I wonder whether our God is disappointed at us like this! TADA. Putting aside denotes the image of taking off a garment in order to put another on. Lay aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speaking! My friend this may help you which helped me in my spiritual life. Let's look at the word GROWTH in this acrostic: G- Go to God in prayer daily (John 15:7). R- Read God's Word daily (Acts 17:11). O- Obey God moment by moment (John 14:1). W- Witness for Christ by your life and your words (Matthew 4:19). T- Trust God for every details of your life (1 Peter 5:7). H- Holy Spirit- Allow God to control and empower your daily life (Galatians: 16-17, Acts 1:8). Well, try this next 90 days, if it doesn't work, I need to prescribe you strong medicine to change your heart; that is "How to be born again"! You get it?
