A son as long as he is a child is not more than a slave… (Galatians 4: 1)
No tree ever brings an edible and useful fruit it reaches maturity.
The leaping into fruition without maturity is disaster. God demands growth and maturity in us on a daily basis. He even recommends that our progress be visible for all to see (1 Timothy 4: 15)
I hope you've known "Stephen R. Covey". He's one of my cherished authors. While reading Covey's "7 habits of highly effective people", his graphic display of the journey from dependence to independence struck my heart. It dawned on me that We all need to attain personal victory before public victory.
Its simple. Win the man inside and you'll succeed. Take your time to GROW before you seek to bear fruits
I have a few submissions for us:
#1 Be empowered in the HEAD before seeking for empowerment in the hand
#2 Understand before you seek to be understood
#3 Conceive before you deliver
#4 Build a quality content before you seek an inviting packaging
#5 GIVE before you seek to receive
#6 SOW before you seek to harvest
#7 Do BUSINESS before you seek pleasure
#8 Be MATURE before you seek to be fruitful
#9 Steemians, make a quality post before you seek a reward**
I challenge you today that if you put the first things first, you life will make more meaning.
Above all, SEEK GOD FIRST, and ALL other things will be added. (Matthew 6: 33)
I hope it blesses your day.
