<br />

Grow in faith as you have others<br />

supporting you. There is much<br />

to learn in the presence of others.<br />

Matthew 18:20 states “For where<br />

two or three are gathered<br />

together in my name, there<br />

am I in the midst of them.”<br />

The fact that God’s word<br />

is constant and true,<br />

corporate worship<br />

through prayer will<br />

enable God to<br />

work through you<br />

all as your true<br />

worship enables<br />

his presence to<br />

manifest within<br />

these groups.<br />

There is authority<br />

in prayer also<br />

when it is<br />

expressed in unity.<br />

This creates room<br />

for powerful prayer.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Strive to be a doer of the word and<br />

not just a listener. Fasting as part of<br />

growth will help you grow. Believe and<br />

have faith that if you do the Lord’s work<br />

and follow his commandments he will<br />

magnify you to heights you can’t even<br />

fathom. Be thankful in good and bad<br />

times. Develop a Christ-like mentality<br />

to guide you as you grow spiritually.It<br />

is also wise to use what you’ve learnt in<br />

your daily life.<br />

These will strengthen your<br />

relationship with God. You will<br />

learn all you need to know to enable<br />

God’s<br />

love and<br />

blessings to manifest into your life.<br />

Always seek to get closer to God. Pursue<br />

habits that cultivate your relationship<br />

with God. If you want more sow more,<br />

it’s that simple. Discussions help you go<br />

deeper as you go directly into the word.<br />

Sometimes one learns things better from<br />

another’s perspective and not merely just<br />

<br />

for spiritual growth. One can never go at<br />

it alone.<br />

<br />

<br />

Tithes and offerings are of great<br />

importance. Malachi 3:8 states,<br />

“Bring ye all the tithes into the<br />

storehouse.”<br />

This command<br />

is followed by the verse<br />

in the same book of Malachi in chapter<br />

3 verse 10 where it states, “And I pour<br />

you out a blessing that there shall not be<br />

room enough to receive it.” Centre your<br />

priorities on the Lord and give with a<br />

cheerful heart knowing that all you have<br />

comes from Him. You will soon realize<br />

that God is a faithful provider.<br />

<br />

Allow yourself to focus on the<br />

important things. Make it a priority<br />

to meditate on the word,listen to what<br />

the word is telling you and develop a<br />

connection with the Almighty. TP<br />
