CONTINUOUS ADVANCEMENT

Pastor David Okoye says:

CONTINUOUS ADVANCEMENT

“But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, which shines brighter and brighter until full day.” Proverbs 4:18 (RSV)

      Many especially in our day seem to think that it’s ok for one to be in the middle ground in life. They find solace in the fact that though they don’t have a good life or have good virtues; they are not entirely bad either. And unconsciously many have adopted this thinking pattern in their walk with God. But it is imperative for the Godchild to know that our Christian life was designed to continually know progress this means that God designed our lives as his children to continually know progress and increase. 2 Corinthians 3:18 refers to it as going “from glory to glory”.
      If this is God’s desire for our lives, how then can the Godchild have it manifested in his life? In 3 John 2, God begins to show us the way. It says “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”. The AMP rendering says “beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers". This was God showing us how to continually advance in life; it is dependent on the progress of your soul.
      The Godchild that does not ensure the prosperity of his soul and spirit will not make it far in life. Little wonder Proverbs 4:23 says to “keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life” another translation says “keep vigilant over your heart; that’s where life starts”(MSG). Choose to improve your Christian life and not maintain it. God didn’t design your life to be at equilibrium, He designed it to shine brighter and brighter. He didn’t place a limit to our success and increase, so keep shining and progressing till the day of our Lord.

DECLARATION:
I constantly know progress all the days of my life, constantly increasing in greatness. I am progressing in every aspect of my life.
