Grow In Christ

Here’s a mnemonic to remind you how to best position yourself to grow in Christ.

G.R.O.W.T.H.

  1. GO to God in prayer daily. Like a child, you need to speak to your Loving Father daily. If you wish to be like your Father in heaven, you must talk to Him constantly. Prayer is talking to God. When Jesus, our Example was on earth, He prayed. He left us a blueprint for prayer popularly called the Lord’s prayer, (Matthew 6: 9-13).

  2. READ your Bible daily. Develop a habit of hearing His voice daily, by reading your Bible every day. To do this, you need: A bible, a pen, a journal, and a good devotional book such as Open Heaven and Our Daily Bread. A good devotional book will lead you to a portion of scripture daily and explain it clearly.

  3. OBEY the Holy Spirit. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit as a guide to help you live a Christ-centered life. Ask the Holy Spirit to come into your life Luke 11:13), and as you acknowledge His presence He will give you His guidance.

  4. WITNESS to others what God has done for you. What do you do when something wonderful happens to you? If a friend gives you something really valuable what do you do? Tell all your friends (and anyone else who will listen) of course! It’s much the same with receiving Jesus Christ into your life. To give others a chance to have the same wonderful experience you must tell them what happened to you (Matt 28:19-20)!

    Please fill out this form so we can send you materials to help witness to others. Remember, your life is also a witness. As the Holy Spirit helps you to live a new life in Christ, your friends and family will notice the difference and be drawn to Christ in you.

  5. THANK God in every situation. God has given you and me a mandate, to thank Him in all things (Ephesians 5:20). To share a testimony. Thanking God is easy when things go well. When things don’t seem to be going so well, it can be very difficult. And yet we need to obey, knowing that God will work everything out for good (Rom 8:28).

  6. HELP OTHERS. God uniquely equipped you with resources you can share with others. You can give your time, encouragement, prayers, money, even just a listening ear.
