Paul said in Eph 4: “henceforth be no more children”

Paul also said: 1Co 13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

One childish thing we need to put away, is living our SPIRITUAL LIFE - REACTIVELY. 

Jesus said: Mat 7:7-8  Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  (8)  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.  

We need to live  PROACTIVE spiritual life!
