Hebrews 5:12(For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first
principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and
not of strong meat. 13 For everyone that useth milk is unskillful in the word
of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 but strong meat belongeth to them that
are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil).
Life is a battlefield and in every
battle only the skilled fighter can become a champion. Growth is part of life;
every living thing that God created is expected to grow from one level to
another. It becomes a problem when something that needs to grow refuses to
grow. Every living thing goes through stages of development the same
apply to our relationship with God. We can’t afford to remain a spiritual babe
drinking only milk. You need to develop strong teeth for strong meat. If a
child is not growing it will become a concern and a burden to his parent and
they will be looking for a solution everywhere. Children are a blessing from
God. Proverbs 10:22(The blessing of LORD, it maketh rich and he added no
sorrow with it). If we as children of God refuse to grow it become a
concern to God. It is a sad situation. It means that Jesus Christ labored in
vain. I pray that you will not be a concern to God in Jesus name. We have
inheritance in Christ Jesus and the only way we can access it, is by proving
that we have matured enough to handle it. Revelation 5:12(Saying with a loud
voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and
wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing). You can see why he
will be concerned if after we have accepted him as our Lord and savior we are
still wallowing in poverty, sickness and etc. when he knew we are not meant to
because he has paid the price. Jesus Christ fought Satan to recover our stolen
inheritance from him. Satan is not happy that we have escaped so he will try to
block us from accessing our inheritance. It is our responsibility to make sure
he did not succeed by developing ourselves in the word of God. God said that he
will make us his sharp threshing instrument. Isaiah 41:15(Behold, I will
make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: thou shalt thresh the
mountains, and beat them small, and shalt make the hills as chaff). If you
are not growing teeth, you would not be able to thresh mountain and move
forward to possess your possession. A young lion suffers hunger because he is
unskilled (Psalm 34:10). So it is for your own good to grow in the word
of God if not you will remain in lack and want. The bible is a book of covenant.
To lay hold on our inheritance we need to play our own part. There is something
we need to do in order to possess our possession. For example our inheritance
of riches requires that we should give and it shall be given unto us (Luke
6:38). And that we should serve God with all our heart and our soul. Job
36:11(if they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasure). For us to really grow in this kingdom the
place of studying cannot be ignored. Moses advises Joshua to study the
book of the law (Joshua 1:8) and Paul advises Timothy to study. 1
Timothy 2:15(Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth). When God approves
your effort your breakthrough cannot be denied. The scripture said that Satan
has blinded them that believe not (2 Corinthians 4:4). Friends, you need to
deliver yourself from his blind folding power by accepting Jesus today if you
have not and your eyes of understanding shall be open in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
