Live Out Loud: How well are you growing in faith!

Galatians 4:1 "Let me show you the implications of this. As long as the heir is a minor, he has no advantage over the slave. Though legally he owns the entire inheritance," MSG

KJV says, "Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;"

The cases of many Christians are not related to devil. Devil was not there when God was making covenant with you and your family. The devil is just a spectator and an accuser. He can do nothing! I am not here to discuss him anyway.

The problems of many Christians is rooted in the passage above. As long as the heir of a powerful man is a minor (child) he has no advantage over the slave (the rulers of darkness and nature itself). What can a heir (who chosen not to grow) do?
Most Christians are not growing. They have left growth to pastors, Prophets, Bishops etc. Is it only clergies that want to go to heaven?
They even desire to be spoon-feed. And, they desire liquid food!

Come on!
How can they have a say in the conduct of their lives? A child don't have any say. For instance, what do a child of 5years know in respect to his inheritance if parents are no more? Whatever he was told by the servants is what he or she will believe. He can be told that he is the son of a servant and he will believe.

So, whatever most Christians are told by the devil and the world, they believe like that baby heir. They know not so, they die like mere men - Psalms 82. That is why prophets and other clergy manipulate them and make merchandize of them.

Galatians 4:3,"That is the way it is with us: When we were minors, we were just like slaves ordered around by simple instructions (the tutors and administrators of this world), with no say in the conduct of our own lives." MSG

That is baby Christians for you!

Spiritual growth is a continuous process. There is no limit!

The more you of Him you have in you, the more your growth.

Our growth is directly proportional to our relationship with God.
Our growth is directly proportional to how much we have Him in us (if it can be quantify).
How well do you "know" God?
What kind of relationship do you have with God? Is it casual, official, infatuated, crushed, seasonal, give-me-but-keep-your-words, give-me-goodies-only, I-speak-you-listen, (you can add others).

How can you claim to be a good friend when you don't want to listen to that your friend?
Friends know each other!

Grow up!
Baby Christians are casualties in the war.
Can they defend themselves?

Eat more of God's word. Know more of Him through His word in the bible.

Your growth is important - just as your repentance. It is part of the salvation process! Can a baby survive on it own in this world.
As a heir, try to know your father and grow up!
Your inheritance is great! Ye are gods! Read the bible passage again.

Galatians 4:1-11,"Let me show you the implications of this. As long as the heir is a minor, he has no advantage over the slave. Though legally he owns the entire inheritance,
he is subject to tutors and administrators until whatever date the father has set for emancipation.
That is the way it is with us: When we were minors, we were just like slaves ordered around by simple instructions (the tutors and administrators of this world), with no say in the conduct of our own lives.
But when the time arrived that was set by God the Father, God sent his Son, born among us of a woman, born under the conditions of the law so that he might redeem those of us who have been kidnapped by the law.
You can tell for sure that you are now fully adopted as his own children because God sent the Spirit of his Son into our lives crying out, "Papa! Father!"
Doesn't that privilege of intimate conversation with God make it plain that you are not a slave, but a child? And if you are a child, you're also an heir, with complete access to the inheritance.
Earlier, before you knew God personally, you were enslaved to so-called gods that had nothing of the divine about them.
But now that you know the real God - or rather since God knows you - how can you possibly subject yourselves again to those paper tigers?
For that is exactly what you do when you are intimidated into scrupulously observing all the traditions, taboos, and superstitions associated with special days and seasons and years.
I am afraid that all my hard work among you has gone up in a puff of smoke!"
