If you are a believer who has been feeding your fleshly lusts, there is a warning from scripture for you today. You must put off your old self consciously. In fact, God won’t descend from above to do that for you; you must do it yourself. But the question is, how?
Child of God, it is God’s desire for you to mature spiritually. That is why, even before the Church was born, Jesus Christ apportioned diverse gifts to men to equip the saints to do the work of the ministry. When you submit to this divine administration, what happens is that you’ll mature spiritually, especially in divine knowledge.
You will always be different because your divine gifts are unique. What is important is that you harness your divine gift for it to be so sharp that you that it command global attention.
Letting the message of Christ dwell in you richly is essential for a life deeply rooted in His teachings. By spending time studying the Bible, participating in group Bible studies, and praying the Word, you can allow Christ’s message to transform your life and help you live according to God’s will.

When you neglect your fellowship with God, every other area in your life will begin to decrease in productivity because divine strength will be missing. Labour well in building and maintaining an excellent administrative system in your ministry, and you’ll be free from excessive administrative work distractions.
According to 2 Peter 1:8, if, as a believer, you possess and abound in virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love, you’ll not be barren or unfruitful in the knowledge of Christ. Simply put, you can’t possess these qualities and remain an ordinary Christian. It’s just impossible.
God doesn’t want you to suffer from spiritual myopia, which can blur your discernment to see and follow His plan for your life. He wants you to be effective in your walk with Him.
