THREE STEPS EVERY BELIEVER MUST TAKE

by: Dr. Torrance A. Jacko Sr. 

1.  Stabilization

Before we can go to our desired place of maturity and victory, we must become stable and fixed in our faith foundation.  We are to be no more children… Ephesians 4:11-16

We each come into the Kingdom of God messed up from our life in the world.  Stability in life as a disciple of Jesus is critical for going to the level of service and growth.  The Body of Christ is made up of individuals who have problems which have the ability to take us off course but the Church of Jesus Christ provides you with a stable environment to begin the growth process.

2.  Maturization

The most mature people aren’t always the oldest in the crowd, yet that’s what is commonly expected of the older and more experienced.  Many have been saved and members of churches for a long time, yet they still demonstrate immature tendencies in their daily experience.  2 Peter 3:17-18

Believers don’t grow through an autopilot process, but we grow on purpose, because we chose to.  We must desire to grow and do the necessary things to get to the next level of maturity.  The Church provides the tools you need to grow and mature in your life and faith. 

3.  Mobilization

God’s desire of us all is to be sent into the field to labor for the Kingdom of God.  One of the natural outflows of maturity is to become more mobile in your walk with God.  Matthew 28:19-20

Mobile Christians are obedient ones.  We are commanded to Go into OUR WORLD and spread the Love and Word of God.  That’s an awesome responsibility that God placed on the Body of Christ.  The Church provides you with opportunities to get moving in your personal mission.  Your personal mission will align itself with the Church Mission as to recognize the order of God.

As we align ourselves to these three steps, permanent changes in our Christian Testimony and daily lives will become noticeable by others around you.
