*GROW* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;"* (Titus 1:2-3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
One of the ways God designed for His Children to grow is through sound biblical preaching & teaching of the word. There is a place for prayers but there is also a place for the preaching of the Word.
In Titus 1:1-3 (NLT) This letter is from Paul, a slave of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. *I have been sent to proclaim faith to those God has chosen and to teach them to know the truth that shows them how to live godly lives.* This truth gives them confidence that they have eternal life, which God—who does not lie—promised them before the world began. *And now at just the right time he has revealed this message, which we announce to everyone. It is by the command of God our Savior that I have been entrusted with this work for him.*
A close look at this text shows that faith must be proclaimed, truth that shows how to live a godly life must be showed by preaching and teaching. This therefore means that living a godly life is not something you "catch" only by prayer. Yes, prayer is needed but there is more. You must through preaching and teaching of the word learn to live godly.
Conversely, this therefore means that the purpose of correct biblical teaching and preaching is to engender godly living.
To grow therefore you must select the messages (preaching and teaching) you expose yourself to. If all you get from a preaching or teaching is excitement and nothing more, you are not making the needed steps towards growth. You must get instructions in righteousness, rebuke, doctrine or encouragement from sound biblical preaching and teachings. This is essential for your growth.
_MEDITATION:_
*With the aid of smartphones, consistently expose and subject yourself to teachings and messages that will build you towards godliness. You can't become until you behold the word! How many messages do you listen to per week? If you only listen to Sunday messages, you will make a very slow growth journey*
