GOOD FOR CHRISTIAN GROWTH

READ THE BIBLE DAILY
You need it for- GROWTH:" As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby(1 peter 2:2).
PROTECTION: "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You" (Psalm 119:11).
GUIDANCE: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path" (Psalm 199:105).
PRAY, PRAISE AND WORSHIP: Hold no secrets from God-tell Him everything. As a redeemed child you should not be afraid to ask for anything according to His will ( 1 John 5:14-15). However, your requests should be coupled with praise and thanksgiving: " Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made know to God" ( Phil. 4:6).
GATHER WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS: Do not neglect this privilege. It is the only way you can honor the Lord's final request: "Do this in remembrance of me" ( Luke 22:19). You should meet with other Christians regularly and scripturally because Jesus said, " Where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them" ( Mt. 18:20).
GIVE TO THE LORD: You can never repay God. Nevertheless, He appreciates your gifts of time, talents and resources. There is blessing in giving: "He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cori. 9:6-7). So what are you still waiting for" Start giving now as much as you can!!!."
WITNESS TO OTHERS: Spread the good news of salvation by your walk, by your words, through public preaching, through the distribution of literature, etc. " You shall be witnesses to Me" (Acts 1:8).
DO GOOD WORKS: Realizing that you are not saved by works( Eph.2:8-9), do something (as the Spirit directs) for the One who has done so much for you. God had more in mind for you than merely saving you from hell: " We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:10).
CONFESS SINS IMMEDIATELY:
Scripture gives a wonderful guarantee: " If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). It also gives a warning: "He who covers his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy" (Proverbs 28:13).
LOOK FOR THE LORD'S COMING: Your Christian life will bemore successful if you live as though the Lord were coming at any moment: "Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming" (Mat. 24:42). You will be more joyful if you anticipate His coming as "the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" ( Tit. 2:13). Note: Scriptures taking from The King James Versions . Thanx for taking your time in reading or going through this words; may God open your eyes and give you wisdom to understand more of his words" May God's love be with you always; Amen!!!."
