Christian growth..prayers for spiritual growth

Posted on October 13, 2008

JOHN 3:30

• For all believers who desire meaningful spiritual growth in their walk with God. There is no height you cannot attain in spirit if only you are ready to take the bull by the horn; do away with every form of hindrance and follow the principles of spiritual growth laid down in God’s word.

Hebrew 5:12: “for when for the time ye ought to be teacher ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principle of the oracles of God; and become such as have need of milk and not of strong meat.”

Jesus expects each believer to grow to the level where he can teach others. In many of the Epistles, the believer is encouraged to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ (2 Peter 3:18). When a believer refuses to grow, he remains a spiritual babe who is unskilful in the WORD. Such baby Christians needs milk and not strong meat.

When we as believers, begin to apply the truth we know in our lives, we will begin to grow our knowledge of Christ will also increase. Paul encourages the believer to be “rooted and built up in Him” (Col. 2:7). As believers, we draw our nutrient from Him, i.e.  Jesus Christ

As you pray these prayer points for spiritual growth, the Holy Spirit will draw you into a deeper and fulfilling relationship with Christ.

• Scripture for meditation

Phil. 3:10, 14: that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his suffering , being made conformable unto his death ….. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Make this confession to establish your identity in Christ Jesus.

I am a branch in the vine; Jesus Christ is the vine because I abide in Him. I am full of the fruit of the spirit. I am full of love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Because the grace of  God is upon my life as the light of His glory, I am full of divine favour; I am a partaker of all heaven spiritual blessings.
