DIGGING DEEP Date: Tuesday, 31st January, 2017. Topic: FROM GLORY TO GLORY INTRODUCTION: There are three possibilities for any Christian who started the race to heaven very well. (i) He may backslide, (ii) He may stagnate and (iii) He may continue to improve daily till he becomes as perfect as his heavenly father. It is the third possibility that we wish to consider, that is how to grow from glory to glory, 11 Cor. 3:18. May the Lord teach us Himself, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. 1. GOD EXPECTS US TO GROW CONTINUOUSLY Some Christians feed on milk, while others feed on solid meat. Milk is for the new - born babes and God does not expect us to be babes forever. In fact He expects us to grow and become teachers of others. Even those already holy are expected to go on to higher ground steadily and continuously. We are expected daily to grow higher, broader and deeper, while our light shines brighter and brighter. 1 Cor. 3:1-2; 1 Pet. 2:2; Eph. 4:14, Heb. 5:12; Job. 17: 9; Ps. 84: 7; 1 Cor. 14:20; Ps. 92:12; Prov. 4:18; 1 Tim. 4: 15; Heb.6:1. 2. GOD HAS HIS WAYS OF LEADING PEOPLE TO PERFECTION By studying the life to Joseph, we can discover more of God's Way of leading people to perfection. Joseph started by being gifted but insensitive but God puts him under various Authorities, first as a slave and then as a prisoner to train the Spiritual gifts in Him and turn him to a perfect ruler. God can do the same for you today. Is. 55:8; Gen. 37:6-8; 1 Cor. 10:23-24; 13:1-2; Gen. 37:11-20; SOS. 8:6; 1 John 3:14; John 3:27; Gen. 39:1-7; Phil. 4:6-7; 1 Tim. 2:1-3; Prov. 29:2; Gen. 39: 7-20; 1 Cor. 6: 18; Gen. 39:13-20; 1 Pet. 2:20; 5:10; Act. 5:41; Rom. 8:17; Matt. 25: 23; Rom. 8:28.
