A Little Every Day

If you are going to grow in the Kingdom of God, you are going to do it just like a seed that has been planted in the ground.  How does a seed grow?  All at once?  No, it grows constantly, 24-hours a day, a little all the time until it accomplishes what it was created to do.

Most of us do not operate that way spiritually.  We study and pray very hard for a few days and then quit.  Then, when disaster comes, we make a mad attempt to pray and stand on the Word, all the while realising that, for some reason, we are just not as strong as we ought to be.

There is no such thing as an overnight success in the Kingdom of God!  Real strength, real growth comes as you consistently and constantly keep the Word before your eyes, in your ears, and in the midst of your heart.  Not just when you want to or when you feel like it, but constantly, like the seed, a little all the time.

Make up your mind to begin that daily process of constant growth today.  Determine to start putting the Word in your heart consistently.  Every day a Scripture here, a Scripture there, a sermon here, a sermon there.

“This led Him to say, What is the kingdom of God like?  And to what shall I compare it?  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and the wild birds found shelter and roosted and nested in its branches.”  Luke 13:18-19 (AMPC)

Begin to act as though that Word is true every hour of the day regardless of what comes your way or how you feel.  Keep adding to your faith, meditating on it, confessing it, seven days a week.

Eventually, your faith will be bigger than you ever dreamed it could be.

“Father, I Come to You in the Name of Jesus.  I want to cultivate an active relationship with You in prayer, in the Word, and in my actions.  I want to make You the epicentre of my life and live my life daily for You.  Thank you that You are always there for me and that You never fail, thank you that You are for me, thank You for helping me and for pursuing me constantly.  I look forward to an everlasting covenant with You.  Amen.”

Stand strong, LFM family, continue to stand in God’s Richest Love and Blessings in Jesus’ Name.
