We all know that holding onto our past failures will keep us from moving forward, but equally concerning is resting in your past success. Although success is something to be celebrated it is also something to grow from and improve upon. Don’t let your life become a one hit wonder! Just as with our mistakes, we should learn from our success and press forward! Don’t stay planted where you are, always be growing!
Philippians 3:12
Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold by Christ Jesus.
If at any point we feel settled in our faith then we need to re-evaluate our walk with Jesus. Until we leave this life we should never stop growing and learning! When we gave our lives to Jesus He gave us the Holy Spirit who is there to help us grow. We all have spiritual gifts, but they require us to put them into practice! You don’t take a gift given to you and put it in a drawer, you use it and the spiritual gifts we are given are no different!
2 Timothy 1:6 AMPC
That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire]. That is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination].
We need to put in conscious effort to grow spiritually. God is faithful to provide, but we must put in the effort and have the desire.
1 Timothy 4:15
Take pains with these things; we absorbed in them, so that your progress will be evident to all.
