Morning Manna by Rufus Parker - 2017 August 30

"Wherefore laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings, As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby." (1 Peter 2:1-2)

Today’s Morsel:  A few days ago, I was in a conversation  with a gentlemen about growth.  Both natural growth and spiritual growth.  So many people want natural growth and spiritual growth without being born.  A child can only grow so big inside the mother’s womb.  It must be born for it to grow to maturity.  The same holds true with the church. You can only grow so much inside of the church walls.  Until everyone takes their ministry outside those walls, they aren’t going to grow.  Therefore, Jesus knowing this,  commissioned everyone born again, to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15-18). Peter said that “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.”   Jesus even told Nicodemus that growth and understanding was predicated upon one being born (John 3:1-24). What are you doing to expand your growth?

Sing: You need to tell somebody, tell somebody about Jesus; how he set you free, and gave you the victory.  You need to tell somebody, tell somebody about Jesus; tell somebody about goodness of the Lord.

Thought For Today: Birth before Growth (Parker)
