Gal 4:19
My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and
permanently formed(molded) in you.
Can you imagine giving birth to a baby who for about 13 years post birth is unable to walk, talk or
join children of his age move or find meaning? If we can’t stand that, then we automatically violate
God’s agenda because children cannot handle certain ventures and vocations but those same people
can do exploits when they come of age
I am of the view that, it is every parent’s or creator’s intent to see that his kind are productive, this is
why God introduced prayer as a means of communication to exchange our weaknesses for his
strength, our sinful nature for his perfect nature to become a better version.
Ephesians 4:13
Till we all come in the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.
Paul in his letter to the Ephesians brought to our notice that the standard for growth is the stature
and the fulness of Christ. For us to attain that stature, it was spelled out in Galatians that Christ can
be formed completely in a man if one takes the pain and travail or prayer for another or for one self
All spiritual blessings are in Christ already, therefore one must become like Christ to be able to utilize
the blessings since those blessing recognize the person and office of Christ, it is with this
understanding that through the instrumentality of faith we pray to access all the hidden treasures in
Christ.
Conclusion
Growth and maturity change the rules of the game, the same tree that gets no attention from any
one begins getting attention from even strangers. Spiritual growth cannot be overrated.
