[Topic] - BUILDING YOURSELF UP
[Scripture] - Acts 20:32 (KJV), "And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified."
[Message] - Good morning ☺ Happy new week.
Sorry for the temporary absence. It came back with a testimony.
In this life we live, the importance of growth and development cannot be overemphasised. Attention is drawn to a child who is over a year and still can't walk, or a child of 4 years with the height of a year old child, and so on. Not just physically, but also in other areas, materially, academically, maritally, and even Spiritually.
I want to believe it was but for emphasis of 'growth', amongst other things, that the last Adam, Jesus, was born of a woman, and grew (Luke 2:52), unlike the first Adam, who came complete and still messed up. No child of God is permitted to remain on the same level.
We just must grow. We must be better than we were yesterday, and must be better tomorrow than we are today. There's no limit with God. 1 Peter 2:2 talks about desiring the sincere milk of the Word, that we may grow thereby. That's the key to growth - the Word!
Apostle Paul, speaking in our anchor scripture, commended the people to God and the Word of His grace, which was, and is still, able to build us up. We want to grow financially, materially, physically, academically, maritally, and so on? It's in the Word. If we also want to build up spiritual muscles, it's the Word.
For anyone who's serious with growth and development in all areas of life, he/she must take the Word serious from now on, to study it and to act it. Through frequent study and acting of the Word, growth is guaranteed.
