  ```Galatians 4:1 NKJV
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,```

COMMENTARY
In order to get the crux and membrane of this sermon, reviewing the meaning of key words is important. Maturity means fully developed physically; full-grown. It is important to note that no trees can bear fruit except it is fully matured.  Faith is defined in the book of Hebrews chapter 11: 1 _Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen._ A maturity in faith would mean a faith that is able to bear fruits.

The book of Hebrews 11 described how elders obtained good report through faith. They were able to obtain good report because when God says wait, they waited. When God says move, they moved. Maturity in faith is all about living your life by faith. Someone who is immature in faith would wait for what eyes sees, but someone who operates on faith acts based on things not seen.When God says anything, he believes it and start executing it with actions even though those things are still hoped for, not seen yet but his maturity makes him/her treat the situation as reality.

Do you know that When Sarah became pregnant of Isaac, she knew the sex of her baby? She knows everything that ultrasound use to identify  for people today. Rebecca was pregnant and she knew through faith that two nations were in her womb. What's the level of your maturity in faith? Do you know anything beyond your now? As Abraham walked with God, he became too sure of the next things that would happen in his life and family. He was aware that Sodom and Gomorrah is going to be destroyed. Nothing happened around Abraham by accident.

Food for thought:
Faithless man is like a blind man without a guiding stick, he jumps into different things until his life is spent.

Prayer:
```Grant me maturity of faith Lord. Help me stand while the storms assault my belief in Jesus name.```

 31/12/2023 *Christian WATCH Exposition* *Topic:* _Habit 1. Roaming around_  *Text:*  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```  *COMMENTARY*  As children we grew up seeing Almanac painting of a dark human like image with tail, hons and horrible dentition being displayed on walls of our houses as Satan. Some of these almanac displayed Jesus and Satan having a soccer. Other Almanac can be a wrestling match between Satan and Jesus and things like that. Satan cannot be known by all those images. Satan is a spirit and manifest through human beings. Therefore in this study we shall look into the habits and manifestations of Satan. One of the ...

Topic: Habit 5. Distractions.   Text :  ```Job 2:1-2 AMP Job Loses His Health Again there was a day when the sons of God (angels) came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (adversary, accuser) also came among them to present himself before the Lord. The Lord said to Satan, “From where have you come?” Then Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming around on the earth and from walking around on it.”```   COMMENTARY   Uninvited yet attending, for what? Why is Satan always going to the gathering of the children of God? Presenting himself to the Lord is not his priority, he is chiefly looking for whom to distract. As children of God testifies of triumphing over evil with good, the children of the disobedience take pleasure in doing evil and testifies when they succeed in multiplying evil, especially when their intended distractions work out and a child of God compromise to follow evil. Have you wondered why believers compromise? It starts from this ki...

02/02/2024: Christian WATCH Exposition. Topic: Illegal Structures.   Text :  ```Jeremiah 1:7‭-‬10 NKJV But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, For I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.”```   COMMENTARY One of the foundational significant difference between Prophetic ministers and the rest of the people in the society is eyes. God gives ability to identify original architectural master plans to the Prophets. God give them ability to read and interpret geographical and geological map of families and individual persons lives. God's purpose and plans a...
