PEOPLE WHO LIVE BY THE SPIRIT

DAILY GRACE SUN. 25TH JUNE, 2017 PEOPLE WHO LIVE BY THE SPIRIT 1 CORINTHIANS 3:3 "Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly—mere infants in Christ." There are attitudes expected of believers in Christ Jesus, these are not common to unbelievers. There are also some that are saved but are still babies in the Lord. It is not a crime to be a baby Christian but is a crime to remain one for too long. A mother will become worried over her little baby that has refused to grow. So also, God expects His children to grow in grace and in His mighty power . Apostle Paul could not address the Corinthians church as required because they would not be able to comprehend it, due to their level of spiritual growth. He had to speak to them as infants. God loves children but delights in seeing them mature in His word, way and will. You need to take a conscious and intentional growth in the Lord by taking heed to every thing He reveals to you bits by bits. Quick check to know if you're still a baby is to check your life, if some of the attributes that Apostle Paul listed to the Corinthian church still exist in your life. 1.) Being controlled by your own sinful desires and lust, instead of being led by the Spirit of God. Rom. 8:5-6,14. 2.) Jealous of another person or allowing envy to rule your heart. This has a tendency for hatred in your heart. This show you have not seen God nor know Him. 3.) Quarreling with your neighbour when you are to seek peace with all men as much as it lies within your power. Rom.12:18. 4.) Acting as if you own your life by yourself and not God. Gal. 2:20. 5.) Allowing self righteousness to rule your heart. Titus 3:5,6. 6.) Being religious or "churchy". Full of activities but lacking the power of the Holy Ghost. No one can please God based on mere works rather only faith in Christ Jesus does it all. Heb. 11:6, Gal.2:10, 21-22. Friend, examine yourself thoroughly if any of the above still lives in you, it's a quick test that shows you are still a baby Christian. Brace up and grow in the strength of the Lord God so as to attain the full measure of your person in Christ Jesus. #receivegrace togrow. Enjoy your day! Personal Confession: Lord Jesus help me to grow in you daily in Jesus' name. Enquiries@PGM lnt'l richgracemission@gmail.com www.pentecostalgrace.blogspot.com.ng +2348058561464 +2347083069998
