2 Peter 3:18
In today's HOLINESS CHALLENGE, I challenge you to GROW IN GRACE AND HAVE A PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE LORD.
Every TRUE BELIEVER seeks GROWTH after being saved. It is not the will of God that His children (newly converted) should remain 'babies' (Spiritual Infants).
New born babies desire and crave breast milk because it is perfectly designed for their tiny, developing bodies, a rich source of essential nutrients, easily digestible fats (for energy production and absorption of nutrients) and proteins (very essential as building blocks for their growth and development of their bones, skin, muscles and organs), and supplies antibodies for protection against illness.
In like manner, the MILK OF GOD'S WORD is what every newly converted/born again child of God needs to grow, acquire energy for spiritual warfare and develop all spiritual organs to keep the spirit man fit and forestall external aggression of sicknesses by strengthening your spiritual immune system.
As time goes on, the infant grows into an adolescent, becomes an adult and keeps advancing in age. There is a significant transition from taking milk (liquids) to semi-solids, then solid food and subsequently being able to eat bones.
God wants His children to go through these phases and move from infancy to maturity where you now have an experiential knowledge of Him expressing the life of Christ wherever you are.
You need to advance from SALVATION to SANCTIFICATION and then the BAPTISM of the HOLY GHOST, where you are now fully harnessing the potentials you have amassed over the period of time in your journey with the Lord.
GROWTH IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU MUST FULFILL YOUR MINISTRY AND CALLING; DO NOT GIVE ROOM FOR STUNTED GROWTH, AND SAY NO TO MEDIOCRITY.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
