Colossians 2verse6-7‘V6-As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: V7-Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.’
Investing in your spiritual growth is of great importance to God and several other things, as I have explained to you so far in this series of lessons. This is why you should take your spiritual growth seriously and be ready to continuously invest as much as possible. I believe you are blessed by the truths I have shared so far with you. Today by his grace, we continue with examining the reasons why you should invest in your spiritual growth! So if you are ready for this, let’s examine these reasons right away.
REASONS FOR INVESTING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH:
7. To be able to access the fullness of your heritage in Christ. To enjoy your personality, possessions, provisions, position, and potential in Christ, you need to grow up spiritually. Your spiritual growth helps you to tap into your full potential in Christ. Gal3v29; 4v1-2. Potential speaks of what you could be, but you are not yet. What you are capable of but not yet manifesting. But through your growth spiritually, you will be able to access all of these blessings and treasures. Luk15v11-12. My dear reader, I believe you can now see why investing in your spiritual growth is a necessity and a must, for that matter. So it’s time for you to start making your investment!
8. To prevail in the battles of life. Life is a battle and struggle at times, and this is why you need to be properly prepared for it. One means of doing this effectively is by investing in your spiritual growth. My dear friends, investing in your spiritual growth is one of the means of strengthening and fortifying yourselves. Pro24v10. Your spiritual growth will help you be a prevailer and a winner in life’s battles. So get busy fortifying yourself. Your stamina is what determines what you can stand or withstand. Your inner strength determines what you can handle or carry. So make sure you leave no stone unturned in getting yourself ready for the battles of life. I see you prevailing as you invest heavily in your spiritual growth! You will be a winner and not a loser as you engage yourself profitably in fortifying your spiritual life. Eph6v10.
