…BY THE LOVE OF CHRIST
“Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head.
Ephesians 4:15 (GNT)
Your growth determines your manifestation.
You are able to handle situations and impact your world according to your inward growth.
Your growth in your understanding of Christ and consciousness of who you are in Him is your growth in the Spirit.
It is your growth into Christ (in all things, mainly His love) by which you become the complete expression of Him in this world.
You cannot express Christ beyond your level of maturity of growth in the spirit.
The highest proof of your growth or maturity in the Spirit is how you walk in Love.
Your love towards God and towards others reveals how you are deeply rooted in Christ. The more your roots grow deep into the love of Christ, the more you mature or grow in the Spirit.

You can be born again for 10 years and not be mature.
Growing in the Spirit is not automatic, it is intentional.
Organisms don’t just grow healthy. It takes the right nutrients and the supply of other needful elements.
Your mind and heart must be cultivated in the love of God.
One who is growing in the spirit has his/her affection set on the Lord and not on his/her own interests. The love of God dominates your heart and influences your actions.
How consistently do you fellowship with the Spirit and the Word?
Or you must be convinced to have a consistent fellowship with the Spirit and the Word?
How excited are you in your heart concerning the things of God?
How do you love the brethren?
Are you bitter, envious, angry and holding on to an offense?
When you are deeply rooted in the love of God, bitterness, envy and offenses cannot have any place in your heart (because they are fruits or expressions of the self).
The more you grow or mature in the Lord, the more the self is subdued by the love of Christ.
Selah

Thank you, Lord Jesus
Our growth into Christ is our growth into love and the submission to God.
You cannot express God automatically, you express God’s love as you submit yourself to the way of the Spirit.
Growth is an intentional activity. Nothing grows any how. The growth organism requires the right nutrients.
Same with spiritual growth, the nutrients are in the Spirit and the Word, the more you mature the more the will of God will dominate your own will.
