LESSON 1 : GROWTH IN ITSELF
GROWTH IN ITSELF
it is recorded in Luke that Jesus GREW,in wisdom, in stature, and in Favour with God and Man. Paul the Apostle said in one of his epistles, that Childhood brought the acting and thinking pattern of a child, but Adulthood is characterized by the putting away of childish things.
Everything stated about growth shows how much it’s greatest effects are on you and how much of a personal thing it is.
So Whilst you can be schooled and adviced, the onos lies on you to GROW UP.
growth in context here refers to spiritual growth but it affects all other corners as we see in Jesus.
Proverbs tells us that Wisdom is the principal and most important item on the “get” list among all our gettings. All of wisdom cannot be attained at once, Hence we are emulate Jesus Christ, by GROWING in it, letting it influence you daily till you begin to see the kind of changes you want to see.
Growth in stature comes up after, stature first and secondly means a man’s PHYSICAL HEIGHT and PUBLIC REPUTATION respectively.
So outward growth is proof inward growth, be a wisdom is profitable to direct on what to do for growth in stature, PUT STRUCTURES in place, Wisdom teaches us the right way to go about building a good reputation. If we get this, we will evade the suffering of the wise poor man in Ecclesiastes, whose wisdom saved a city, but was despised after.
Favour with God and Man are directly proportional growths to the other two mentioned.
There is a version of you GOOD SUCCESS is waiting for, it is not the Childish version of you, it’s the growing version of you, the version of you that has learnt that THIS BOOK OF THE LAW shall not depart out of your mouth, but You will meditate and seek to do what it says.
Indicate areas needful for growth and pray for the Grace to Grow in them, till you begin to walk in the fullness of the measure of christs stature.
Warmest Regards
Congrats on getting started
