Grow & Growth

Shio Shio Gai Loti Entry #9

To GROW is to develop.

God has given each and every one of us a journey known as life and it is through this journey that we GROW as an individual to be the person He wants us to be. God is more concern about our character than our comfort. He has promised us His presence during the journey but has never said that itwould be a bed of roses, one that is smooth sailing.

We ought to understand that there bound to be obstacles, challenges and walls that we would bump into at certain juncture in life. Many people are affected in their growing process because of overwhelming worries, the cares of the world. Others are affected because of certain weaknesses in their life. Some are distracted because of fatigue and weariness.

Everyday as we live and journeyed through life, we should be growing in our spirit, soul and body. During the growing process, it is important that we grow and develop in the best environment.

As we GROW, we need to know that:

1) God Reigns Over Worries
2) God Reigns Over Weaknesses
3) God Reigns Over Weariness

Let's GROW to know that God reigns over our worries to give us peace and rest. He reigns over our weaknesses to make us the light of the world, the head and not the tail. He reigns over our weariness to give us power and an overcoming spirit.

(Joshua 6:2)
v2: And the LORD said to Joshua: "See! I have given Jericho into your hand, its king and the mighty men of valor."

v5: "It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, then the wall of the city will fall down flat."

v20: "So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat"

There are many walls that we will face in life:
a) Walls of Disappointment
b) Walls of Frustration
c) Walls of Failure & Shame
d) Walls of Unbelief
e) Walls of Insecurity
f) Walls of Doubts

But God said in His word in Joshua that He has given Jericho into our hands! Jericho refers to the obstacles, challenges and frustrations that are hindering and affecting our growth. God has given us the solutions to the walls that are stopping us. For us, we must keep on believing and having faith in Christ. As we grow and conquer the walls in our life, we will ultimately see the GROWTH that we longed for.

To experience your GROWTH, you need to learn from Joshua:

GROWTH = GET RID OF WALLS THAT HINDERS

Climb up, Bash through and Jump Over all the walls! You can do it =)
