Text:
```Romans 1:17 NKJV For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” ```

COMMENTARY
Maturity of a Christian is all about growth in spiritual things. To be fully developed and allow Christ to be fully formed in us. Christ was full of faith and sometimes He quarreled His followers with words like "faithless generation." You could live a life of outward holiness, obeying every rules and laws but without faith. It will be very impossible to please God with such attitude of doubt yet attending every crusades and prayer meetings. Our text says that it is the righteousness of God that reveals faith. No wonder Abraham had faith and it was imputed to him as righteousness.

Unbelief makes us babies and unable to achieve anything meaningful to the body of Christ. One sign of Spiritual maturity is to believe and keep moving even when evidence of your believing is not seen yet. As a Christian that is matured many people would criticize your decisions. The people of Israel lamented and blamed Moses for bringing them out of Egypt. While they cried, Moses remained unshaken, as a man whom God has helped his faith, he staggered not in his believe. He didn't have doubt about the Cannan Land.

Immaturity gives room to insecurity mindset, and an unending questions. "God why me?" When God give you direction, maturity of faith in you would leap like Gazelle to jump into action. While fears would suggest that you shouldn't test the deepness of water with both feet. If God is the one truly behind you, He will always give tasks that looks impossible for man but when sincerely followed He steps in with supernatural. Jesus asked Peter to walk on the water and backed him with supernatural force immediately but fear and doubt cut him off.

Food for thought:
Faith is a golden handle through which things are pushed out from the realm of imagination into the realms of reality._

Prayer:
```Help me Lord to gain maturity in faith and my walk with you 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...
