NUGGET: SPIRITUAL GROWTH
EPHESIANS 2:19-22:Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
Spiritual growth is by the spirit in Christ Jesus. No building can stand without a foundation and that is why our spiritual stand and growth is dependent on how well we are deeply rooted in Christ from the text you'll see that unity in the body of Christ enables spiritual growth. The desire of God for us is that we be fitly joined and grown into a Holy temple. Yes it is an individual race but it is also a collective effort by the spirit in Christ. Don't be quick to pull down a brother or a sister in the fold. We are growing not just as individuals but a holy temple. The spirit divine brings us together as a body. God's presence can't dwell in a place where there is strive and envy, so as much as we can, give the place to the Spirit of God so that he can fit us into a temple,a dwelling for the Lord. Know ye not that your body is the temple of God, this temple is built in the secret place in the place of prayer and communion with God,it is sanctification and total surrender of ourselves to God .it goes beyond just having a relationship with God he desires to reside in us by the spirit. What a wonderful privilege. Let go of those things separating you from that sweet fellowship and the spirit of God will take over.
PRAYER : FATHER I GIVE UP SELF THAT YOU MAY BE AT THE CENTER OF MY LIFE.
ILLUMINATE MY HEART AND HELP ME TO BE A BUILDER AND NOT A DIVIDER. BIND THE BODY OF CHRIST IN UNITY AND LOVE. LORD JESUS STRENGTHEN OUR LOVE FOR YOU AND THE FOLD IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
TODAY'S TIP : THE INGREDIENT FOR GROWTH IS LOVE AND UNITY.
