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!

Is God real? : Teachings

  How do you know God exists? Answer: We know that God is real because He has shown Himself to us in three ways: in creation, in His Word, and in His Son, Jesus Christ. The most fundamental proof of God's existence is just what He did. "Because since the creation of the world, the unseen qualities of God. His everlasting power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" Romans 1:20. "The heavens speak the glory of God, the heavens speak the work of his hands." Psalm 19:1. If I found a wristwatch in the middle of a field, I would not think that it "appeared" from nowhere or that it always existed. According to the design of the watch, I assume there was a designer. But there is much more design and accurate in the world that surrounds us. Our measure of time is not based on a wristwatch, but on the work of God, the steady rotation of the earth. The universe is full of great designs...

Being content with what you have - Daily Devotional

  Bible Verse: "I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength." - Philippians 4:11-13 As Christians, we are called to live a life of contentment. Contentment is a state of being satisfied with what we have, and not constantly desiring more or better. It is not about settling for less, but rather being grateful for what we have been blessed with, while also working towards our goals. The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, shares with us the secret of being content in any and every situation. He had experienced both times of abundance and times of great need, yet he remained content. How was he able to do this? By relying on the strength that God provides. As we go through life, we will encounter man...

Are You Being Led by the Spirit?: Daily Devotional

  “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14 (KJV) Being led by the Spirit of God depends on knowing the voice of the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, meaning that He is a divine personality having the attributes of a person. Therefore, He speaks, sees, feels, and expresses feelings as we do (John 16:13-14). He only speaks the Word of God, so it's easy to hear his voice as you meditate on the scriptures daily. Constantly feeding on God's Word and meditating on it daily builds your heart and makes it easier for you to listen to  when He speaks to you. When he speaks, you will feel it in your spirit and know that he is speaking to you; it is an experience that can be confirmed with the Word of God. Knowing how to be led by the Spirit is part of maturity, and God wants each of His children to be led by His Spirit. If you are led by the Spirit of God you will not be disappointed; You will always experience peace, joy, prosperity and vi...
