Growth entitles a process (going to take something) and delayed gratification. In order to grow we have to start somewhere (which means that one might fall and this will require one to get up again). When we are busy getting closer to God, the more “YES” answers we are going to have in life.
“Grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” 2 Peter 3:18
There was a time in our existence when we were all tiny little babies, but now we are all grown up. What did you do in order to grow? What activities were you involved in, in that facilitative growth? I would like to recommend that you
- Ate food.
- Drank fluids,
- Exercised,
- Rested and slept and
- Breathed.
Therefore in order to grow spiritually I would like recommend that, if you reach out to 7 seven aspects the growing would happen automatically.
Firstly, remember that it is God who has sought after you. Jesus left heaven and came to seek and save the lost. (Luke 19:10, Luke 5: 31-32, John 3:16-17, Mathew 18:11). Because of God’s great love for each and everyone of us He has called us His children.(1 John 3:1.) Do you believe that?
Growth Principles:
Read the Bible- Bible Study.
Our spiritual being is feed through the “Word of God”
Start reading in the Gospel of Mark, then the Gospel of John, then the Gospel of Luke. The first letter of John, the Psalms and Peter’s letter and so you branch out into the other book of the Bible. Try reading so as to hear the “Stories” that the writers are trying to tell you. Listen to the voice of Jesus.

Speak to Jesus – Pray
“Prayer is the breath of the soul.” (Martin Luther King)
Praying is a conversation with the Lord. Sharing all your fears, joys, dreams, needs with Him as with a friend. Rejoicing in all the blessings He gives us each day.
Prayer is a state of being with God throughout the day.

Be with other believers- Worship
There is strength in numbers- “a banana only gets when it leaves the bunch”
We all need each other.

Share our Relationship – Witness
As we share with others, our own lives are enriched.
