A believer who refuses to grow will soon become a burden to the Kingdom.
God did not save us to remain babies. He saved us so that we can mature, carry His life, and advance His kingdom upon the earth.
You see, a child in the Spirit will always cry for milk, for attention, for someone to keep carrying them. But when will you become the one who carries others? When will you become a pillar others can lean on? Maturity is not an option; it is a demand.
Hebrews 5:12 says, “By this time you ought to be teachers, but you still need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again.” That is God’s lamentation. He is saying, I cannot commit weight to you because you are still a babe.
Every believer who does not grow becomes a liability to the Body. Instead of strengthening the Church, they drain the Church. Instead of adding to the advancement of God’s purpose, they slow it down. Maturity is what makes you a contributor, not just a consumer.
Look at Paul. The moment he encountered Christ, he pressed into growth until he became an apostle who could disciple nations. That is what God expects from us. Growth is proof that the Spirit of God is at work in you.
Beloved, growth does not happen by accident. It comes by discipline—discipline in prayer, discipline in study, discipline in obedience. If you are too casual with your walk with God, you will remain a babe forever, and babes cannot inherit the fullness of kingdom responsibility.
Hear me, the Kingdom is waiting for men and women who will grow into stature, into wisdom, into authority. God is searching for sons, not just children. Romans 8:19 says, “The earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”
So, I charge you today: grow! Don’t just attend church, become the Church. Don’t just hear the Word, become the Word made flesh. Because until you grow, you will remain a burden. But the day you mature, you become a blessing to generations.
