Ephesians 4:13 (NET) "Until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature."

When a child is still a baby, he depends entirely on adults for survival—he needs to be fed, clothed, and guided. But as he grows older, he learns to care for himself and no longer relies on others for basic needs.

Similarly, new converts need the guidance of mature believers to help them grow in the Lord. They require discipleship and nurturing to remain steadfast in the faith. However, as believers mature, they reach a stage where they can feed themselves spiritually and walk with God independently. Sadly, this is where many stop growing. They are no longer spiritual infants, but they have yet to reach full maturity in Christ.

This stage is crucial because it is often when believers begin to recognize God’s specific assignments and calling for their lives. It is a season meant for building spiritual capacity for ministry and fruitfulness. Unfortunately, many stagnate at this level because they feel they have already "arrived." This is evident when they lose their hunger for God's Word, stop reading spiritual books, and neglect the disciplines that once fueled their growth.
 
Go into today remembering that spiritual growth is stunted when you start believing you have arrived. Keep pressing forward, continually growing in the knowledge and stature of Christ.
 
Prayer: Lord Jesus, please help me never to become complacent in my walk with You. Give me a continual hunger for Your Word and the discipline to keep growing in You. Amen.
— Abraham Damilola Arigi
