"...as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate." Galatians 4:1(NIV)

God will commit into your hand only what you have the capacity for. We all desire great things but we must grow up for great things to happen. If you remain a child in spiritual things you will be treated as a servant. If you want to take hold of your inheritance, you better grow up because as long as you remain a child, you have no access to what has been kept for you. Maturity qualifies a believer for inheritance. You become mature as you grow up! Growth comes when you have increased knowledge. It is not you "waiting on" God to bless you, rather it is God is waiting for you to mature for your blessing! A refusal to grow simply means you are refusing your inheritance. You have watched little children grow. You see them growing and changing from birth...to age two...to age nine...to age sixteen...to age twenty-six. Then you see a young man you used to carry as a baby, now developing a beard...getting married...having his own children. At every stage the child is given only the capacity he can handle.
Are you growing in the things of God? Do you know His Word better? Is your life completely changed? Or are you doing exactly the same things you did since the time you got saved. If we must get what belongs to us, then the responsibility falls on us to grow up!
Stay above...always.
