Paul said in Eph 4: “henceforth be no more children”
Paul also said: 1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
One childish thing we need to put away, is living our SPIRITUAL LIFE - REACTIVELY.
Jesus said: Mat 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (8) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
We need to live PROACTIVE spiritual life!
