But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 3:18
JUST AS A CHILD NEEDS TO GROW IN ORDER TO MEET THE
INEVITABLE PROBLEMS THAT COME HIS WAY, A CHRISTIAN, TOO, MUST GROW. IT IS GOD’S WILL THAT EVERY BELIEVER GROW STRONG THAT HE MAY BE STEADFAST AGAINST TRIALS AND TEMPTATIONS, IN SO DOING, REMAIN IN HIS SALVATION. STEPS TO CHRISTIAN GROWTH PRAYER PRAYER Prayer is an honest conversation with God in which you worship Him and sincerely seek Hisdirection for your life with an open heart as His love relationship with you is created andmaintained.
Prayer is a worship addressed to the Father (Acts 12:5), in the
name of Jesus (John 14:13), through the power of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 6:18) Parts of prayer: Adoration: praise and worship of the soul to God (Psalm 95:6)
Confession: repentance of every known sin (Psalm 32:5)
Thanksgiving: in everything give thanks (Philippians 4:6)
BIBLE READING Man must crave pure spiritual milk. (1 Peter 2:2) Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4) Man is a tripartite being: spirit, soul and body. (1Thessalonians 5:23) Man needs the Bible to be thoroughly equipped. (2Timothy 3:16-17) WITNESSING Witnessing is testifying and sharing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Go stand and speak…(Acts 5:20) for it is the power of God unto salvation… (Romans 1:16) God has chosen you to be His witness… (Acts 22:14-15) FELLOWSHIP Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage oneanother – and all the more as you see the Day approaching. (Hebrews 10:24-25) OBEDIENCE Let us be doers of the Word and not hearers only. (James 1:22) Doers will be blessed. (James 1:25) If you abide in Me and My words abide in you, ask anything and it will be done unto you. (John 15:7)
