The path to maturity

Romans 8:14 because those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Notice the word your eyes on the people around you anymore, be sensitive to the Holy Spirit for it is only by the spirit we can grow into mature sonship. Notice the sons in the verse in greek is actually mature sonship. To the people who have a mentor or if you have been a christian for quite sometime, remember don't put your eyes on men. If you have been asking and asking and asking for decisions from the leaders which is good, remember! We should only ask leaders for advice and not asking them to make the decisions for us. It is good for baby christian but not christians that have been a child of God for sometime. You see, we should be dependant to the Spirit of God!

Give you an example, when we are young our parents restrict us from doing whatever we want because we are still young and we can't discern what is wrong and what is right. When we grew up we make our own decisions, we only ask our parents for advice if we are lost for what to do.

It is easier for us to see things that are visible but remember, we walk by faith and we can't see faith because faith is invisible. We live by faith and not by repent, it is by faith we are saved!

It's the same in the spiritual realm, the Lord knows what is the best for you, what you should do and what you should not do. Therefore it's time to learn to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and let's depend on Him, the greatest mentor and counsellor of our lives. This is my prayer for tonight, I want to know His way, I want to have the spirit of discernment to know what to do and what I should not do and I want to have an adventure with you everyday, so that I can know more about you and to experience you more. Without you, I can do nothing to please you Father. Amen.

Zechariah 4:6 So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
