According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue. 2 Peter 1:3 KJV
Many Christians live as victims of circumstances, struggling like natural men. This isn’t because God hasn’t provided; it’s because they lack knowledge of what He has already made available in Christ. Scripture is clear: “God has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness.”
However, Hosea 4:6 warns that God’s people can still be destroyed, not for lack of provision but for lack of knowledge. Spiritual babies are new creations in Christ Jesus but their knowledge of spiritual matters is limited and so is their experience.
Spiritual maturity comes from constantly feeding on God’s Word. This develops your spiritual senses to know God, yourself, your possessions, Satan, and his authority. The Word of God teaches you how to live the Kingdom life. A spiritual adult is one who lives by and in the Word, led by the Holy Spirit.
In life, what you spend most of your time listening to and doing occupies your mind and shapes your knowledge. For instance, a mechanic who works on Toyota cars will know more about them and be able to easily diagnose their problems based on his interactions with them. Similarly, to live as a victor in Christ, you must choose to study the Word of God, meditate on it, talk it consistently, and live it daily.
Sadly, many Christians remain ignorant, leading to spiritual confusion, depression, weakness, poverty, and subjection to worldly systems. However, spiritual growth is the solution to all challenges. As you grow in the Word, you gain insight into what you have in Christ Jesus and walk in the victory that is yours in Him. Blessed be God.
PRAYER
Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I thank You for who I am in Christ. I declare that I am not a victim but a victor. I grow daily in the knowledge of Your Word, and my eyes are enlightened to know my inheritance, authority, and position in Christ. I walk in righteousness, wisdom, and dominion, and my life moves from glory to glory. The truth of God’s Word sets me free, and I live above circumstances. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
