Hebrews 5:13-14 says ‘For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Billy Graham died on 21 February 2018 at the age of ninety-nine years. Long before he died, he had said beforehand, ‘Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.’

Indeed Billy Graham could be sure of where he was going due to how he had lived his life.
From the age of sixteen years, after hearing God’s call, he had become a faithful messenger of the Gospel.
He preached with so much fire that German newspapers once called him “God’s Machine Gun.”
He became well-known internationally and became one of the most influential Christian leaders of the 20th century.

Billy Graham preached to live audiences of 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings. Because of his crusades, Graham preached the gospel to more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity. He indeed lived a life of great impact that continues to positively affect the world even today.

As children of God, we are ordained for global impact and mountaintop lives on earth.
Matthew 5:14 says ‘Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid’
It is indeed God’s will that we impact the world around us for His glory.

However, to fulfill that glorious destiny, certain things must be in place. For our lives to manifest in glory and power, we must first be prepared to pay the required price of undergoing the process of spiritual maturity.

Spiritual growth is a non-negotiable requirement in manifesting God’s glory in our lives. And our diet for spiritual growth is God’s Word. The more of the Word we eat the more we will grow spiritually.

When we received salvation, we became born again as spirit beings. And just as our physical body eats food to grow to adulthood, so also our spirit man must eat the Word to grow to spiritual maturity.

Our level of impact is not about how long we have been born again but the depth of our knowledge in the Word of God. Maturity is not a function of age but of depth.

To experience spiritual growth and development, we must therefore be willing to learn from God’s Word.

Our depth in the Word will determine our height in life.
Indeed until our mind is renewed; our lives cannot be transformed.
When we study deeply, eating the strong meat of the Word, we will develop the spiritual muscles to live in dominion and power as sons of God on earth. Then, that is when we can begin to manifest God’s glory and live impactful lives that will positively affect our generation for Jesus. .

PRAYER;

Lord, I thank You because dominion has been restored to me through salvation. I bless You Lord, for the authority and power that You have given me to manifest Your glory on earth in Jesus Name.
