Righteousness elevates a believer and enhances manifestation, while sin brings reproach. God calls His people to humility, prayer, and turning away from sin (2 Chronicles 7:14). You cannot continue in sin and expect grace to abound (Romans 6:1). A new life in Christ means letting go of old habits—anger, pride, malice, and fleshly behavior. True maturity is the growth of the spirit man (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Maturity also comes through the Word. The Word builds, transforms, and reveals destiny (Acts 20:32, John 6:63). Quality study of Scripture—not just quantity—is what produces revelation, strength, and spiritual stamina. Devotionals give general knowledge, but deep, focused study brings understanding, insight, and manifestation.
Believers must open the Bible to discover what God has written concerning them, because many remain in struggles simply because they won’t search the Scriptures. Revelation ends weeping (Revelation 5:4–5). Mature believers feed on the Word daily, move from milk to meat to strong meat (1 Peter 2:2, Matthew 4:4, Hebrews 5:14), and stay prepared for life’s battles through knowledge and spiritual insight (Proverbs 24:5,10).
