WHEN I WAS A CHILD !

WHEN I WAS A CHILD !

This came to. me while in a mood of Meditation before the Lord.

God is definitely speaking  to me or to  someone.

PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH ME AND WITH  YOUR FRIENDS.

READ THIS :

13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. (1 Corinthians 13 : 11).

WISDOM GROWS WITH AGE

So Paul the apostle of Jesus said :

When he was a child:

(1) he spoke as a child

(2) he  understood as a child

(3)  he thought as a child.

But when he  became a man , he  put away childish things.

The issue of becoming a.man comes, when we get to maturity in the Lord, then  we speak as the matured. we understand in maturity and we think in maturity.

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.

For these great things to happen as we mature we need the spirit of God.

And to Zerubbabel :

4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6).

And Jesus as He was  returning to the Father said to His  disciples :

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” (Acts 1 :8).

 

Being an old man in this life. does not give any man the,references of maturity. Therefore a man can be old and yet a child. if he is :

(i)  without God’s given tongue to speak.

(ii) not given God’s  type of mind to think;

and

(iii) God’s  given  heart to understand.

This frame of expression has nothing to do with the level of academics. A proffesor could be very knowledgeable about things of this material life, but the knowledge could be  faulted in many ways.

In that respect even after all the applause of men on learned people they still rotate as children  before God.

From the unveiling in the quotation in 1 Cor. 13 : 11, I gather that we need to pray to the Father to give us the Holy Ghost to throw away childishness from our lives.

I gathered from that day that we  should pray more for the enabling of the Holy Spirit of God.

We hear from the Lord in meditation. May these words benefit me and whosoever God wants to reach out to by this reference.

This sermon is drawn from experiential exposure by the Spirit of God.

May the readers and hearers  grow in maturity to think,  to  speak. and to understand deep things of life.

FOLLY OF THE GREAT.

Many great people in the world do not have that maturity that comes from God.  They are still children conceptually.

No wonder why some highly placed people have spoken foolishly, some have done ridiculous things and some have been seen where they ought not  be seen.

They may do many great things seemingly in the eyes of men who are  like or not like them, but before  God the outcome of what people see as done in greatness might become fruitless.

Where then is the greatness?

My prayer for all of us today:

Lord God, may my listeners grow in Faith, Word and Actions from today in Jesus name Amen

Lord may  all my friends in Facebook, Whattsapp, the Messenger, henceforth  act with  maturity Amen.
