It is important to note that the Apostle Paul underscores the importance of
Christian growth for success in life:
The challenges of both the anti-Christ culture and the flagger church made radical spiritual growth an urgent necessity. Paul shouts it out. "Wake up! quit being babies! Quit acting like lost people! Stop your infighting and jockeying for position! Grow up! Be mature! Take a stand! Love each other! (1 Cor.16:13)

Many who have made great strides in the university exams fail the life exam because they are not strong in Spirit and do not follow the operational manual of life, the Bible. The easiest way to avoid immature behaviors, relationship crises and behavioral disorders is to follow Christ through the Bible and become a mature Christian.

Lord,  may we quit childishness and grow in Christ-like nature.
