Topic : Responsible Christianity.

Memory Verse :Galatians 4:3. In the same way, we too were slaves of the ruling spirits of the universe before we reached spiritual maturity.

Bible Reading : Galatians 4:5-7 GNB. Key Verse : v6.

to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might become God’s sons and daughters. To show that you are his sons and daughters, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who cries out, “Father, my Father.” So then, you are no longer a slave but a son or daughter. And since that is what you are, God will give you all that he has for his heirs.

There is a need for us to grow into maturity as believers in Jesus Christ. Growth and maturity is always a resultant effect of our individual desire backed by corresponding efforts to birth same. Maturity brings us into understanding of God as our father, his plan for our lives as individuals and as a people, how to walk in his paths and plan, our rights and privileges in him including our boundaries as members of his divine family. When we don’t know all these, we are bound to live without being able to access those provisions he made available to us freely by covenant as his sons and daughters, as a result of ignorance or lack of knowledge. “But now to continue — the son who will receive his father’s property is treated just like a slave while he is young, even though he really owns everything. While he is young, there are men who take care of him and manage his affairs until the time set by his father. In the same way, we too were slaves of the ruling spirits of the universe before we reached spiritual maturity.” Galatians 4:1-3.

The business of redemption is a finished one as perfected on the cross. This redemption came with rights and privileges that are to set us apart from ordinary men as we live our lives on earth. These rights and privileges are spiritual blessings available only in Christ Jesus. They are meant to give our lives a meaning, make us impactful as generational game changers. “Let us give thanks to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! For in our union with Christ he has blessed us by giving us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world. Even before the world was made, God had already chosen us to be his through our union with Christ, so that we would be holy and without fault before him.Because of his love. God had already decided that through Jesus Christ he would make us his sons and daughters — this was his pleasure and purpose.” Ephesians 1:3-5.

It will important to mention that growth is a process that comes out of continuous exertion of efforts. It is never instantaneous and therefore demands some level of patience. Growth and maturity gives us depth and strength which helps us to be effective and productive in the kingdom. On a final note, there’s need for us to recognise the place of the Holy Spirit in the new life we have in Christ Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the life and power of God at work in a man. That is the reason he is seal or mark of ownership. We are to pay attention to the Holy Spirit therefore because he make divine ability and capacity available to the carrier. The ability and capicity of God as packaged in his Spirit becomes evident in our lives only when we consciously involve in spiritual exercises that causes growth and maturity. “Until I come, give your time and effort to the public reading of the Scriptures and to preaching and teaching. Do not neglect the spiritual gift that is in you, which was given to you when the prophets spoke and the elders laid their hands on you. Practise these things and devote yourself to them, in order that your progress may be seen by all.” 1 Timothy 4:13-15.

Prayer :Thank you Lord Jesus for dying on the cross to redeem me from the paths of sin and destruction. Thank you for making me a member of God’s family. Help me to expose myself to things that will help me grow into maturity. Thank you for helping me become responsible and fruitful in you in Jesus precious name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
