Consecrated life
Some give alot of time to spiritual growth, some are more nonchalant about what it is they feel is growth in the Lord.
Those that seem to be more concerned about their growth in the lord may read and study the scripture, seeking the Lord. They may even seem more spiritual than others and do good works for the Lord. Others may seem more lackluster in their approach to spiritual growth.
The point in bringing this up is the big question is; are you really concerned about becoming what God created you to be. Do you want to be all that God made you to be.
Example of consecration: the chicken and the pig, the chicken will give a little or make a donation by laying eggs. The pig on the other hand gives his all. Now the pig has no idea why he was created but he will give all. Consecration is the believer saying "I will give myself to be coming what I was created to be." You recieved a very special touch from God in your mothers womb to be a unique you with all gifts and talents to become you. Now this can only happen in Christ because He is our completeness, Ecclesiastes 11:5,
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
But everything you need was placed in you, created in you from the womb. Your consecration is to learn how to express the marvelous wonder called you, self. Surly you have noticed there was no change in the you part of your expression when you were first born again. We changed in the aspect of being a different type of person maybe, but the you was not altered. The true change will come as you learn the reason you were created and the world around you.
I have to say something about the world right now; the world with it's good and it's evil can transfix you to war against it. You will need a new mind to allow your Father to use anything He decides to use to bring you to your ultimate understanding of what He is doing. I must also say that religion does not fit this world. If you are trying to make Christianity work by some religion it will not work. The world is not your enemy, it may seem like it but it is the Father's schoolhouse to bring son's and dauther's to full understanding.
The scriptures say to not be caught up in the world, it never says it is out to get you. Your mind tells you it is out to get you, and most media outlets. You should read Galatians 4:1-2, about how the schoolhouse works for your benefit. It should be understood by every believer before they give themselves to change the world.
If it was not for the world 90% of Christianity wouldn't even exsist (my number). What is simply meant by that is; if it wasn't for the world you wouldn't be saved. I came through the world, most believers I know came through the world. I know some believers that were raised in God fearing homes and never really experienced the world. What I say to them is, you didn't miss much. It does not matter how you get into Christ, what matters is that you get there. Once you are there learn something about it, learn what it means to be what God created you to be, consecrated to do so.
