We are always so conscious of our PHYSICAL GROWTH but so unconcerned about our SPIRITUAL GROWTH
But in this kingdom, reverse is the case
The moment you’re not conscious of your GROWTH in this kingdom, bro you will remain a BABE
Gal 4:1 “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all”
Many who should have being Fathers are now running to others in the name of taping anointing ( is anointing palm wine?)

Many men who should have being teachers are the once arguing Scriptures the most because there is nothing to offer
Heb 5:12 “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat”
Heb 5:13 “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe”
Many people in our church today are too childish, especially my generation of youth Because they wear big suit and neck tie, they want to addressed as MAN OF GOD

Oga, it doesn’t work like that in this kingdom
Suit and tie is not a one amongst the criteria for a man who has truly being with God
Thinking like that is even a sign that you’re a BABE
How do you know who is a BABE?
1Cor 13:11 “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things”

The reason why you criticise everything and everybody, argue scripture up and down is because CHILDISHNESS is still on a rampage
We must truly GROW if we want to do real BUSINESS with God and if we desire to be addressed as SONS
As a BABY Christian Whether you accept is or not you’re a SLAVE

Growth in this kingdom basically is a result of an encounter with Jesus
Except you have an encounter, your growth in this kingdom is yet to start not matter how spiritual you might look
You must not see Jesus in the cloud wearing white cloths before you know you had an encounter (though its important)
but there are ways to have encounter outside seeing Jesus like Paul did

A man can have encounter through the word of God
John 1:1 “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God”
You encounter is tied to how much the word has translated into truth in your life, truth always brings liberation
John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free”
If you have being reading the Bible and you’re still into addiction or masturbation, it means, that word is yet to translate into truth, there is yet to be an encounter

A man can have encounter through hearing a massage
John 10:27 “my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me”
You can have an encounter when you’re willing to hear and obey completely as commanded
So men who are head bent not to listen to massages, you go to Church and you’re WhatsApping or you criticizing everything at anytime
Let me tell you, you’re only showing how small you’re in this kingdom
No man never has an encounter like that

A man can have an encounter through prayers
Luke 18:1 “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint”
Its during prayer that God is legally permitted to operate. so men who don’t pray are already running on a minus
If you can’t pray, you will never truly have an encounter
Your encounter is tied to how much God is legally permitted to work in the inside(spirit) that eventually begins to show the results on the outside(physically)

One thing you must know is that these encounters continue, as you’re growing, you begin to have more and frequent encounters
But there is one thing that drives a man into engaging all these things, its a DESIRE (hunger)
Psalm 63:1 “O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is”
An unquenchable DESIRE will make you have every encounter you need to run this race to the end
You don’t stop reading the word because it’s not translating into truth
You don’t stop listening to massages because you don’t understand what they are saying
You don’t stop praying because your prayer is not making any physical effect
No you continue, your encounter will come like a shock if you never allow your hunger for the things of God to run cold
