1 Peter 2:1-2 (NKJV)
Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby.
Uche had a vegetable garden that he hoped will one day become profitable. But he observed that his vegetables were not growing properly. It became clear to him that the soil needed to be fertilized, but he needed to weed the garden first because there was much weed there. When he removed the weeds, he applied fertilizer and the vegetables began to grow properly.
There are things that hinder spiritual growth and God expects you to lay them aside. Many of these things are vestiges of the old life carried over to the new [born again] life. These things hinder spiritual growth, and lack of spiritual growth hinders spiritual might and fulfillment of destinies in God. No matter how great the destiny of a person is when he is born, he has to grow into an adult to fulfill it. So it is with your eternal destiny and rewards.
Unlike more bogus sins like adultery or fornication, malice, deceit, hypocrisy, envy and evil speaking are sins that do not look very dangerous, and it is easy for believers to get entangled in one of them and still feel all is well, but they are the silent killers. They cause defilement of the spirit and hinder spiritual growth. They too are the works of the flesh that produce spiritual death (Rom 8:13, Gal 6:8, Gal 5:21). A believer can feed on God's word as long as he wants, but if these things are found in his life, they will hinder him from growing because they are like weeds in a garden.
Go into today examining yourself. If you find any of these in your life, don't deny it, confess (admit) it to the Lord and receive His cleansing (1 John 1:9).
