Grow in Stature

-

Listen young man, growth is not optional. It is a necessity. God wants you to be mature, not just in age but in wisdom, stature, and the ability to carry the weight of His kingdom. Many young people desire power, influence, and divine blessings, but without growth, they will not be able to handle them. Just like a child cannot be put in charge of a great estate, you cannot step into the deeper things of the kingdom if you remain a spiritual baby.

A child may be an heir to a massive fortune, but as long as he is immature, that wealth is kept from him. He must go through training, discipline, and responsibility before he can access it. It is the same with God's riches. His wisdom, power, and supernatural provision are not just given to anyone. They are entrusted to those who have grown enough to carry them.

God did not design you to remain stagnant. He expects you to grow into His divine plan for your life. The world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God, but if you refuse to grow, you will never become what God created you to be. Generations are tied to your maturity. If you stay small, you limit yourself and the people whose breakthroughs are connected to you.

Even Jesus had to grow. He increased in wisdom, stature, and favor with God and man. He did not start His ministry as a baby. He went through growth, learning, and preparation. When He reached full maturity and laid down His life, God handed everything over to Him. That is why He said, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Imagine if Jesus had refused to grow. Imagine if He had chosen comfort over the process. Would He have been ready for the great task of saving the world? Absolutely not. If you refuse to grow, you will not be ready for what God wants to do in your life.

The kingdom of God is not for those who want to remain comfortable. It is for those who are ready to take responsibility. Many people cry out for God's blessings, power, and favor, but they do not want to go through the process. Wealth without wisdom will destroy you. Power without character will corrupt you. Blessings without maturity will be wasted. That is why God does not just hand over His treasures to anyone. He is looking for young people who have grown through prayer, fasting, discipline, and obedience.

If you do not grow, you will always be under someone else's guidance, never fully stepping into your destiny. Many young people today are stuck in dependency, always relying on others to tell them what God is saying. Mentorship is important, but at some point, God wants you to become a voice, not just an echo. If you stay a babe, you will keep feeding on milk when you should be eating solid food. The deeper things of God will remain out of your reach.

Here is the challenge. Grow. Refuse to be mediocre. Do not settle for spiritual infancy. Push past comfort and convenience. Study the Word. Pray deeply. Embrace discipline. Pursue wisdom. You are called to carry the kingdom, but first, you need the stature to handle it. God's inheritance is waiting for you, but the real question is, will you grow enough to receive it?

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES

-
Seriously, understanding your times in the making process poses a  great challenge to many as children of God. Unlike the trees and crops whose seasons are relatively constant in planting and fruition, every man has a unique timing in both. It is laid on us to understand under God what our times and seasons are. A man who ought to be in the planting season is expressing fruits (Results of being made). A man who ought to be in the germination stage is celebrating the harvest. See, once you miss your timing in life, there is already a huge deficit in purpose fulfillment. Don't envy any man. See their timeline and you will understand. One heavy blow the enemy has landed on our generation of young ones is to be fruitful without getting planted. They want to ride cars, build houses, have huge money, and get to do the "big" things without being buried as in planting. No cultivation,  no rooting, no thinning, and no manuring, none. They want to skip those times because of one ol...

EXCUSES

-
Excuse me, man, excuses are never going to be genuine says, my philosophical friend. There is no amount of excuse that you give in not doing a thing that will be enough a substitute to doing that thing. You need to know that you have huge excuses on your path in your making process. Excuse your body will give, your desire will give, your lack of one thing or the other will give, so as not to achieve a task. Beware. Excuses will limit the height you should travel in life. Excuses present themselves as your disadvantages, your limitations, your huge boundary, or a mountain to climb. If you don't wake up and deal with every tenable and untenable excuse, you won't go far. The spy sent by Moses came back with devastating excuses that were enough to cause the people not to go on and possess their promised land. Only two stood out with different testaments. The land is filled with milk and honey but there is an obstacle that can get you stuck on the road without entering the land. The...

THE USERS AND THE ABUSERS

-
If there is a bottomless pit, there is a roofless height. Some stuff you get to go through in life is God's module in making you become his own best version of you: a man or woman with no limit. Yes, with no limit. You are in God's program. Some deep pit that you may have been buried in may seem so deep that you sink into it more by the day based on your calculation. But in God's agenda, if the pit is so deep, the height of glory is roofless. There is no plateau in and with God. Once, you have been correctly planted and you germinate well, expect God to move you up the ladder higher and higher. Once you don't deviate from the right principle in God, you can be certain that there is a roofless height of manifestation. For young people, make sure you are planted well. Don't worry if those who "use" you. Learn well, don't give up, and ultimately stay in God. Be aware of the "abusers" too. Runaway from this set of people. They won't allow you...
