Herald of Maranatha:
Fresh From God
Topic: Born again, grow again (discipleship)
1 Peter 2:2 KJV
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Every child born has a need for care and nurturing for the purpose of growth, so also a newly converted Believer (Born Again) needs to grow.
When we stop growing, we start dying. This is the reason for several people's repeated penitent prayers or eventual backsliding.
Growth is nonnegotiable for any Believer who wants to abide in Christ till the end.
How do you grow?
From the text it is very clear that, constant feeding on the word of God is relevant for our growth.
How do I do that?
Though you have very busy schedules but through it all you can always find a way about it.
"When there's a will, there's always a way"
Firstly, be willing.
Secondly, engage this three method of feeding on the word of God(Trio-secret).
I. Read it (you can also listen to the audio, but recommend more of reading) for Knowledge.
II. Study it (it could be just few verses, 2 to 3, going a little deeper) for Understanding.
III. Meditate on it (it could be 1 or 2 verses or even more) for Wisdom (that's the place of memory verses).
Psalm 119:11 KJV
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Knowledge alone is not enough without understanding.
Understanding is not enough without wisdom.
It is by wisdom you can apply the knowledge of what you understand.
Hence the Trio-secret ( as I call it) of feeding on the word of God should be engaged.
Thirdly, pray everything you read into your life.
