I always believe in the growth of a man, and the spread in the good works of his hands. In the context of dreams and vision or fulfilment of goals, growth is very important to humanity. And that is why it is very hard for human beings to fulfil any dream or vision when there is no growth.
In another way, a person who has a big dream to make come to the past can not realise does achievement in just a single day or just one moment. If the dream is fulfilled in just a day then the process needs to be scrutinised and submitted under a thorough check to know how such a goal was been accomplished.
The fact is that no big goal can be achieved in just a day, even in those days of Joseph in the Holy Scriptures. When Egypt was to circumvent famine that will come upon the land for seven years according to Joseph's interpretation of Joseph. It took them a lot. They began to store grains and there was an increase in the number of grains that they stored every day until they could not save anymore.
When there is a set goal, just like my aim to have earned $100 BCH this month, even though my earning is up to $35 per article and people are saying I tried but unfortunately, I only wrote just two articles for a whole month. As long as I didn't reach the benchmark, the goal is not fulfilled and it is just an unfulfilled goal.
If we are cub is said to be matured, it will not mature from a cub to another cub, but into a lion or fox. That is what is referred to as maturity as generally accepted. There Is a target to which our growth and the ability to produce a certain quantity of an expected end.
However, When Jesus Christ called the disciples there was a purpose for calling them. The purpose is to be like him. Just like a father who wants his child to look exactly like him. If there is any deviation that is notable or an exception, the goal is not fulfilled.
The journey of a Christian is tied to a particular goal which is being exactly like Jesus Christ. If we could not develop up to that standard, we didn't reach the goal. You will become mature in the ways of wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Temptations that tends to push you into sin when you are not yet matured will not be able to make you sin anymore when you became fully matured. The trials that perturb other people and make them weary will not be able to overcome you.
It is just that we humans are not able to reach those goals of the spirit and the power that was spoken of in the book of the Act of Apostles 1vs 8.
Firstly, having the spirit that develops a hatred for sin and to be a prayerful person. As we know that it is very hard to live without sinning. The highest point of conformity that human beings can align to where the power of sin is limited is the threshold of achieving the goal of being like Jesus.
"For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren."- Roman 8:29
I can say that for every 98 out of 100 Christians live by the mercy and grace of God. If otherwise, no Christian is worthy of being called a Christian. We still need to grow and mature more and more. Apostle Paul said that "Not that I have already obtained all these, or have arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" - Philippians 3:12
Until we overcome the power of sin, no man has achieved the goal. We should never stop. The goal is yet to be achieved.
!! Neither have I written this post to go against Christianity nor to discourage any Christian but only to encourage our brothers and sister of what God has called us into and what wants us to be matured into. Thanks for reading.!!
