BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURE HEARTED LIFE!

You are either RAISED to be in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to be; that’s what makes life difference. A MATURE HEARTED person is the consequence of being raised in growth. It cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION. Otherwise pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like traces. Hence you can see a grown adult lacking the adulthood principled ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because positions test or bring forth CHARACTER MATURITY. You see the effect in – Places Of Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial Conducts, Family Relationship And Such More.

Jesus as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to be. He did not just grew, He submitted Himself to be raised through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Being raised He was made. Being made as a son, he was given for our redemption, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be raised in order to grow mature for the called purpose; and being made and ready to be, He was given for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His cause and purpose on the earth.

There’s no great person that have lasted history that just grew only without being RAISED along to be in GROWTH. They were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, responsible, accountable and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some who lack the mature hearted growth of being raised that are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such likes immature childish behaviour.

Are you raised in growth? Are you being raised to be in growth? or did you just grew or grown to be without being raised in growth? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life, that will tell you what you are and where you are and what you may likely be or had become. It’s WORTH being raised. It’s wise to submit for guidance to be raise as you grow in grace. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLE enough in it. Being raised save from pride that goes before a fall and stupidity – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

BE BLESSED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING:

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6.

“Let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a SERVANT, and was MADE in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a name which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine).
