INTENTIONAL GROWTH

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” — Romans 8:19

“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.” — Romans 8:19

Thus says the Lord

“The solution the world seeks is not with Me in heaven—it is with My Church on earth. My Spirit lives in you. I have equipped you to be My hands and My voice to your generation. Heal their sick, calm their storms, bring them hope. But My children must grow, for the time is short.”

A few years ago, someone asked me, “Why did Jesus really come?” My answer was simple: He didn’t come to give us religion—He came to give us Zoe, the God-kind of life. Jesus Himself said, “My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life” (John 10:10 NLT). This is a life above sin, defeat, and misery—a life filled with joy, victory, progress, and dominion.

They pressed further, “But is that even possible?” Yes! It is possible because the Word of God says so, and Jesus proved it by living it. Ephesians 5:1 declares: “Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are His dear children.”That means we are designed, equipped, and empowered to live out His divine life here on earth.

So why don’t we see this life manifested more in believers? The answer is growth—or the lack of it. Many attend church, some even serve faithfully, yet remain spiritually immature. Scripture urges us: “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” (1 Peter 2:2). Growth doesn’t come by hearing the Word only—it comes by hearing and doing the Word. That’s what produces the manifestation of the divine life.

This September, God is calling His children to intentional growth. Not casual, not accidental, but purposeful and daily. Why? Because the world is crying out for answers. Creation itself is waiting for the sons of God to arise (Romans 8:19).

How do we grow?

By becoming addicted to the Word and to His presence. 1 Peter 2:2

By setting aside daily time to fellowship with the Spirit.

By responding quickly to His promptings—without hesitation, without fear.

Beloved, it’s time to rise into maturity. It’s time to manifest the life of God in every sphere of influence—your home, your workplace, your city, and your nation.

Welcome to your season of growth.

Faith-Filled Confession

I am growing in leaps and bounds in this season. My time in prayer and the Word is expanding and reshaping me for the next phase God has prepared for me. I manifest His life, His power, and His wisdom everywhere I go. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
