Your spiritual maturity in God is revealed by the godly relationships
Your spiritual maturity in God is revealed by the godly relationships that you are able to respect, honor, relate to, submit yourself to, and also be in a position where you are willing to sacrifice your interests and self willed opinions for the sake of those relationships.
If you can afford to say that you love God, you can also afford to accept that God will always use relationships to teach you about Himself, and also bring you closer to Himself ( Genesis 1:26 says; in the image of God, God created man).
If you are praying for God’s blessing to come into your life, get ready! Because what you are really asking for is that, you are pleading with God to relate your life with those relationships that will help you grow in your spiritual relationship with God.
Remember that when Elisha desired to become God’s prophet, God sent Him Elijah to mentor him.
When Israel was spiritually ready to accept God’s leadership, God gave them King David, who ruled on behalf of God’s name on the earth.
When Adam was tired of playing with all his toys, and all his physical achievements in the garden in Eden, God gave him a wife, who will give birth to his spiritual seed, that will sustain his vision in the earth.
When Israel was enslaved by the Egyptians (controlled by witches, demons, wizards, cruel credit masters and pharaoh the evil king) God gave them Moses as their deliverer.
When men’s evil ways had successfully managed to separate man from God’s grace, God sent His own son (Yeshua, Jesus Christ the saviour) in the physical body to break that wall of separation between God and men,
when Jesus our Lord had finished His work on the cross, He then passed His mantle (anointing) to apostle Paul through the 12 Apostles in Jerusalem.
After that, this same apostle Paul (who was a Jewish Rabbi, a teacher of the old testament) went into all the nations (that served foreign small god’s), teaching them, and preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of repentance from evil works, so that they may be able to turn back to the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Today God also wants you to have spiritual parents that will bring your life to that spiritual standard, so that you may be able to posses the inheritance of God’s physical and spiritual kingdom.
And this kind of spiritual inheritance is possessed through the ability of being able to keep and honour a covenant (a relationship that connects you to your spiritual destiny).
By Apostle A Ngabo
