All For Christ

"We always say there should be no divorce and no remarriage. However, this does not apply to those who are cohabiting without taking steps to legalize their union. God is not part of such a union. After the Lord spoke about marriage, the disciples remarked that the words spoken were difficult to obey.

"Jesus further explained that any man who is a eu**ch—one who cannot perform the role of a husband—is not expected to marry. This also applies to women who are unfit to be with a man.

"In those days, some men were made eu**chs to serve kings in palaces. Any man who makes himself one, or is made one, must not marry and put a woman in bo***ge.

"Pastors must be careful and ensure they are not part of any relationship or courtship in which one of the partners is a eu**ch. Don’t join them together; be transparent to both parties. When a report of such circumstances comes to you, don’t insist that the person should bear, forbear, and continue with the marriage.

"Imagine a man telling his newly-wedded wife that he is unable to perform his conjugal duties. There is no marriage in that kind of union, whether they were joined in court, Deeper Life, or any other church, or whether they had a traditional wedding and reception—all are null and void."

A believer who refuses to grow will soon become a burden to the Kingdom.

God did not save us to remain babies. He saved us so that we can mature, carry His life, and advance His kingdom upon the earth.

You see, a child in the Spirit will always cry for milk, for attention, for someone to keep carrying them. But when will you become the one who carries others? When will you become a pillar others can lean on? Maturity is not an option; it is a demand.

Hebrews 5:12 says, “By this time you ought to be teachers, but you still need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again.” That is God’s lamentation. He is saying, I cannot commit weight to you because you are still a babe.

Every believer who does not grow becomes a liability to the Body. Instead of strengthening the Church, they drain the Church. Instead of adding to the advancement of God’s purpose, they slow it down. Maturity is what makes you a contributor, not just a consumer.

Look at Paul. The moment he encountered Christ, he pressed into growth until he became an apostle who could disciple nations. That is what God expects from us. Growth is proof that the Spirit of God is at work in you.

Beloved, growth does not happen by accident. It comes by discipline—discipline in prayer, discipline in study, discipline in obedience. If you are too casual with your walk with God, you will remain a babe forever, and babes cannot inherit the fullness of kingdom responsibility.

Hear me, the Kingdom is waiting for men and women who will grow into stature, into wisdom, into authority. God is searching for sons, not just children. Romans 8:19 says, “The earnest expectation of creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.”

So, I charge you today: grow! Don’t just attend church, become the Church. Don’t just hear the Word, become the Word made flesh. Because until you grow, you will remain a burden. But the day you mature, you become a blessing to generations.
