Mature in Understanding

by | Sep 23, 2020 | Hunger

Dear brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your understanding of these things. Be innocent as babies when it comes to evil, but be mature in understanding matters of this kind. – 1 Corinthians 14:20

Transcript:

Apostle Paul gives the church an important instruction. He says when it comes to sin and doing evil that will misrepresent God, we need to be innocent as babies. This is something we need to pray for asking God to keep as innocent and unaware as a new born baby.

If we have fallen into sin, we can come to God asking God to renew our heart and our mind and cleanse us from all sin.

Even as Apostle Paul says be innocent when it comes to evil, he also mentions us to be mature and aware in certain matters like spiritual gifts and fruits of the Holy Spirit and how to use them for the benefit of the church.

So often we are living quite opposite of this instruction what Paul has given us! We are living aware of the evil in the world but when it comes to the things of the spirit we live unaware!

We are all ears on whose gossiping about who, what’s going on in the neighborhood, whose dating who but we are not intentional on how we can use our spiritual abilities and gifts to serve God and His church.

This morning can we start fixing our hearts and minds on the things of God?

I pray that this morning podcast will make you hungry and set you on fire for the things of God, for His word, become mature on how we serve one another, how to love believers and non believers, how to forgive and love our enemies!

I pray that we become people that run after God and the things of God and become mature in our spirit.

You’re a blessing!

Feel For Him

Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.

Lock the Door

Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”

Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.

The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.

God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.

The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
