GROWING BY THE WORD: Daily Devotional

GROWING BY THE WORD: Daily Devotional

 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby (1 Peter 2:2).

Growth isn't a miracle and it shouldn't take a miracle; it is the result of the application of revealed principles and means. Growth is inherent in life; it is a natural course of life. Everything that has life grows; it is one of the characteristics that distinguish living things from inanimate ones.

As a Christian, your spiritual growth is very important, and it is only through the Word that you can grow. The Word of God is food for the human spirit.

1. Peter 2:2 says, "As newborn children desire the pure milk of the word, that in it you may grow." The word of God builds you up and transforms your life from glory to glory.


James 1:21 says, "...accept in gentleness the implanted word, which can save your souls." It's like natural seeds that can only grow properly if planted in the right environment. If you want to grow spiritually, you must expose your spirit to the Word; you must feed on the Word.

That's one of the reasons you should be an active member of a local church where you will learn the word of God that will build faith and strengthen your spirit. Conduct your personal study of the Word; this is so important that 2 Timothy 2:15 says, "Do your best to present yourself approved to God, a worker with no need to be ashamed, handling the word of truth rightly."


Then 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says, “All Scripture is inspired of God and useful to teach, to rebuke, to correct, and to instruct iniquity:
So that the man God's perfect, well prepared for everything. good job." Notice the underlined part.


How exciting it is to see you grow into spiritual maturity! You notice that your choices and values are changing. Their passion and affection are directed only to the things of the spirit. Not everyone can do that for you; it is your responsibility. God has already fulfilled His role in making His Word available to you.

He said in Colossians 3:16: "May the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom..."


With the word within you you can overcome life crises. You can take control of your health. You know how to keep Satan and his minions at bay. You are enforcing the will and dominion of Christ in your city, nation, and the nations of the world. This is part of Christian growth. Hallelujah!

The Goodness of God - Daily Devotional

  Verse: Psalm 100:5 (NIV) - "For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations." Devotional: Today, let us reflect on the profound truth that God is good. His goodness is not contingent on our circumstances, but it remains constant, unwavering, and eternal. In Psalm 100:5, we are reminded that the Lord's goodness is inseparable from His enduring love, and His faithfulness transcends generations. As you begin your day, consider the goodness of God in the light of your own life. Think about the moments when His goodness has been evident, whether through answered prayers, unexpected blessings, or moments of divine guidance. God's goodness surrounds us, and even in challenges, there is a purpose that unfolds through His love. In times of joy, acknowledge the goodness of God with gratitude. In times of trial, trust in His goodness, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Take a ...

Victory Through Christ - Daily Devotional

  Verse: "But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." - 1 Corinthians 15:57 (NIV) Devotional: In our journey as Christians, we often encounter trials, struggles, and moments when the challenges of life seem insurmountable. During these times, it's crucial to remember that our victory is not dependent on our own strength but on the grace of God through Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians, reminds us of this powerful truth: "Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." This verse is a source of immense encouragement and inspiration for every believer. As we navigate life's battles, we must anchor our faith in Christ. He is our ultimate source of strength and the key to our victory. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, and the powers of darkness. He offers us forgiveness, redemption, and the promise of eternal life. Victory through Chris...

What Are Your Expectations?: Daily Devotional

  “For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off.” Proverbs 23:18 (KJV) God's children have many expectations while living in God's kingdom. In fact, before being born again, a person is filled with many expectations of this new life in Christ. The opening Scripture wants to assure us that there is an ending or the fulfillment of what we expect of Him. No wonder His Word said He would do much more than we ask or understand, according to the power at work in us (Ephesians 3:20). . Beloved, what we need to know is that we can have many  expectations of God, but not all of those expectations can be fulfilled. The only ones that can be fulfilled are those that have their foundation in the Word of God. In other words, seek the scriptures that have answers to your expectations, believe them, and proclaim them daily for the Holy Spirit to work on. Just as the farmer plants and waits patiently for the harvest, so we must wait patiently as we continue to preach...
