INCREASE IN WISDOM AND REVELATION IN THE. KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST
Galatians 4
1. Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all
There's nothing wrong with being a child, we all were children at a time. However, there's everything wrong remaining a child. Staying a child is one of the danger of the Christian faith .
"...the heir as long as he is a child is nothing different from a servant..."
This is a good enough reason, as it were, to want to grow or increase in knowledge.we are designed to grow as we feed .When a believer doesn't grow in knowledge he is stagnated .
Ephesians 1
17. That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
18. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints
What makes the heir a child is not age. As a matter of fact, age is the least factor that can make anyone a child.
Maturity, it has been said is not in age but in the ability to properly process information and apply same to solving problems.
What turns a believer therefore from a child to one who is matured enough to handle inheritance is his knowledge of Christ and increase in the same.
Colossians 3
16. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
The word is the food if our spirit if we constantly feed on the word ,it nourishes out spirit cause us to grow ,changes out attitude, character and make us into the image of Christ thereby reflecting his person to our world .let your eyes and your heart be on the word .there is no short cut to knowledge neither is there a short cut to growth if you don't feed properly you will shrink .
If you have it dwelling richly on the inside, it will show forth your maturity, making you a manifestation of His person.
Say it loud
I increase in wisdom and in the knowledge of Jesus*
The eyes of my understanding is enlightened*
I am matured in Christ, I can handle the things of the Spirit
I am not in the dark
So stay in the word let it find a root in your life and the word will make you a mature believer .keep winning keep shinning
