Growth and Maintenance
Well, I'm still the Queen (of the bus) and I love King Adam.
"GROWTH AND MAINTENANCE"
Before I talk about that, I just want to encourage all my friends to start having the habit of thinking. Eph 3:20 says, "God can do above and beyond what you can THINK or IMAGINE..." It is always true for me.
I'm always thinking of things. Anything and everything. And I realised that everytime I start using my brain to think, God speaks to me. Some of my archived entries talked about my revelation when I travel on the bus. Those were times when I was thinking in my mind.
Start thinking about God. Think about your life. Think about yourself (personality etc). Think about some people. Think about events. Think about the future. Think about the past. Just keep thinking.
That's also the reason why I'm gonna talk about "Growth and Maintenance".
These two come together hand in hand. There are some areas which I'm gonna share.
Firstly, the area of relationships. Whether with God or with people, growth comes with maintenance. It takes hard work. It takes faith. It takes hope and it takes love. Maintenance is a conscious effort. It is a continuous action. And growth follows when you begin to maintain your relationship with God and with people.
Example, maintain your prayer life. Read the bible daily. Then you grow in knowledge of Christ and you grow in maturity in the spirit.
Next example, maintain contact with people around you. The more you talk to a person, the closer the two will become. The more you share your life with someone, the more you grow into a person you are made to be.
Secondly, the area of finances. Don't stop giving and don't stop saving up. Maintain that faith in you when you give your tithes and offerings. Maintain that trust in God. Saving up is a habit. Maintain that habit of saving up! Start blessing others. It helps in maintaining relationships. The more you start to give, the more you begin to receive. You reap what you sow. Maintain that act of sowing.
So friends, if you want growth in your life, start doing the maintenance work!
