How To Continue Growing In Faith

By Martha Morgan


Jesus Christ warned every believer about the consequences of dying without being saved when He was on earth. He laid down many principles that would help new converts to lead godly lives and avoid the dangers associated with disobedience to the word of God. The scriptures also recorded that people who accept Him as their Lord and personal savior would need to remain steadfast in what they believe. There are many practices believers should always carry out to make them remain steadfast and continue growing in faith.

An effective study and devotion to the scriptures would help a Christian to stand firm always. There is no doubt that a consistent reader would know how to handle difficult issues in life. This is due to the wisdom that God gives to every believer who is so keen on studying the Bible at regular periods. Believers should also be willing to read other Christian books and instructional materials for their spiritual uplifting.

The church programs that leaders conduct can make a person build a strong foundation in the word if he attends them regularly. Building a strong foundation is essential in order to make the Christian possess many leadership qualities. Evangelism outreach programs, Bible study groups, and fellowship meetings are good ones that the leaders should always organize in the church or any other place.

People should not be discouraged in saying prayers and making supplications to their creator at regular intervals. The effective prayers made during the process are capable of heightening the spiritual growth of the individuals. Christians who pray regularly are also more likely to become victorious over the attacks and manipulations of the enemy, principalities, and powers.

The pastors and leaders in a Christian community are usually anointed with the spirit of God. Building a good rapport with them would increase the chances of having a better christian life. People who obey their Christian leaders are more likely to get their petitions granted from the Almighty because they do the things that are pleasing to Him. There are also many Bible heroes whose Godly lifestyle can also be emulated.

Sinful acts people commit tend to make them far away from their creator. This poor relationship with their maker will greatly slow down their spiritual growth and make them become vulnerable to the unpleasant issues of life. So, it is advised that everyone should stop engaging themselves in sinful pleasures, but rather become more focused on Godly activities for a more spiritual growth and uplifting.

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, joy, peace, self-control, and others. Individuals who accept Jesus Christ into their lives have been assured of these fruits if they earnestly seek for them. It is necessary that a believer receives them due to the spiritual help they provide and the power to overcome the temptation to sin.

Faithfulness in tithing and almsgiving is one of the principles of Godly living as recorded in the scriptures. The prosperity that every faithful giver experiences is capable of encouraging the person to do more and making him remain steadfast in the word of God. This is one of the reasons why much emphasis has been laid on the importance of sacrificial giving.
