Luke
8:14
The seeds that fell among the
thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is
crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they
never grow into maturity.
NLT
It is possible to be a Christian
and never grow into maturity.
God’s plan for every child
of He’s is that they mature. When a prince matures, that is when his full
potential is actualized; this is when he knows how much power he really has.
Many Christians are living
in the realm of mercy drops and limited power because they have not matured in
their walk with God. God’s plan is
showers of blessings and unlimited power.
We can see here that some of
the major hindrances to a Christian’s maturity are cares, riches and pleasures
of this life.
When a child of God has the
value system and the same world view as an unbeliever, he has the cares of this
world, when a child of God puts his personal gain above the agenda of God’s
kingdom, he has the hindrance of riches, when a child of God cannot resist
fleshly pleasure, he needs help if he must mature.
PRAYER: dear lord God, I thank
you for the grace you have given me to fellowship with your word right now. I pray
you grant strength to walk into my full potential as your child, in Jesus
mighty name. Amen.
