"God is ready whenever you are ready"
Walking home on this beautiful sunny day thinking to myself, I wondered why I hadn't grown in certain areas of my life, kept asking myself questions I really had no answers to, why it seemed like I was in a particular spot for as long as I could remember, why growth was taking forever to take place in those areas, in my state of confusion and dilemma the HolySpirit dropped this in my heart “God is ready whenever you are ready”.
At this point, I thought I got the answers to all my questions only to realize that I was even more confused than I was, I didn't know what HE meant, But as I began to MEDITATE,
Behold, He explained to me how I have lived in and with
the wrong mentality.
Many of us say, " it's not their life, it's Mine so I could as
well do what I want with it" but fail to realize that the
moment we submit ourselves to the lordship of JESUS,
this life no longer belongs to us, but God. (Gal 2:20).
The moment you renew your mind with this truth, Your heart becomes fertile for Growth. (Rom 12:2)
“God is ready whenever you are ready”
To move to Greater heights with God you have to
EARNESTLY Desire God.
1Pt 2:2 says ".....desire the sincere milk that ye may
GROW thereby..."
WE all have something we desire, some of us desire to have a relationship with God,hear from him like we hear from our Pastors and Leaders , personally walk with Him, Experience God on a whole new Level.
I would like to take us to the difference between "Desire" and "Earnestly desire".
I searched the word “Earnest” it means serious in
intention,purpose, or effort; showing depth and sincerity
of feeling, demanding serious attention.
In other words, desire could end as just A wish or
Fantasy, but when you Earnestly Desire, you don't stop
until it's actualized cause you diligently work towards its
Actualization.
Have you ever earnestly desired a promotion, excellent grades and you worked so hard to achieve that goal, that's the same way we should earnestly desire a relationship with God, work for it, be sincere about it, give attention to it.
Don't stop at Merely Desiring, Shift to Earnestly Desiring. "WORK". Work towards your growth in fellowship with God this year and remember God is always ready, he is always there, right in front of the door of our hearts knocking waiting for us to open, he wants to be part of you today, he is not too far away but in a close range,he is as close as the air you breathe, he wants you to reach out to him today and the good news is that he is always ready whenever you are, he doesn't work in seasons.
Just start your growth process today by making The decision and you would see that change you are looking forward to, don't just merely desire when you can Earnestly desire. Do not keep in for too long, why not make that decision right now.
Stay Blessed
Love,
IFE

Christian Growth
It's funny how we Christians act like babies when it comes to spiritual things. come on!! we don't live that life anymore we live a new life which God has given to us. The bible didn't say a patched up life or a repaired or a second hand life, it clearly stated "A NEW LIFE". Wow!! so I have a brand new, life why act the same, why think the same. Am not about that life anymore. say to yourself "ain't nobody got time for that". It's time to grow. Never get satisfied with where you are spiritually, there's Grace for More. The bible tells us we have been made in the likeness of God and how great our God is. He is incomparable you just can't imagine it, that's how we should yearn to grow, that's how we should be eager to grow because we've been made to function like him. We must represent him in everything we do, infact let people see us and say that's Little Jesus. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch!! You know why?? It's because they behaved like Christ. You have that ability and power on the inside of you do not be scared to unleash it.Growth from my own understanding is a season of events that takes place over a short period of time.Growth doesn't only relate to the physical It's also aligned spirituallyHow will you feel if ur baby doesn't grow, obviously you'd be sad. That's how God feels when we don't grow. Change is the key to growth and since growth has been declared a blessing. It's a different level.Everytime I wake up in the morning or when my mind is less busy thinking you know this song always comes to me "you are all I want all I ever needed draw me close to you" children of the Most High there's no point in our lives where we don't need God. We should always cry "God you're all I need" and really mean it. I don't think our lives have quality meaning. I have so much to write but I think I would just stop here from now but I really want to encourage all those that would be reading this at any point that don't stop growing keep growing always remember this there's always grace for more.My pastor gave me a book to read. its title alone is powerful it says Don't Stop Here and I want to encourage you to NOT STOP HERE... More grace is always available.Maranatha!!

Hi,Welcome to my blog
This blog was created to reach out to people all over the world near and far in an effort to provide the right kind of encouragement.
Trust me, sometimes all we need is someone we can relate to, someone who shares our views and sometimes someone who has experienced what we are going through.
There are times I feel down and discouraged but anytime I receive that special "Rhema", the food my soul and spirit has been longing for through listening to wise words or reading an article it relieves my burdened heart.
I hope you enjoy this blog and truly get inspired. May it open your heart and mind and feed your soul.
