Page 1: Challenging Church's Greatest Challenge, Lack of Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is not for baby Christians alone. The quartet of care, orientation, leading and launch must be ongoing and running in the background for every Christian with further oversight from pastors and spiritual leaders to ensure development and growth in all ramifications and dimensions: inward, outward, upward, downward and onward.

The Greatest Problem of the Church is Lack of Spiritual Growth – Reverend George Adegboye

HAVE THEIR CONSCIENCE JUDGE A SIN ACT i.e. Genuinely get pricked by their conscience when they fall into a sin act after conversion.

1 OUT OF 10 CONVERTSACTIVELY PARTICIPATE IN SERVICE/FELLOWSHIP i.e. have a time of spiritual reflection, fast for kingdom purposes or share their faith with an unbeliever in a week period.

1 OUT OF 8 CONVERTS

3 OUT OF 100 CONVERTSGET BUILT TO A POINT OF MINISTERING TO OTHERS BY THEIR GIFT AND CALLING i.e. devote themselves to God’s will for their lives and commit to serve Him and others.

There are so many spiritual babies in and around church that, if not for lack of growth, should have given birth to many more babies from the world.

BABIES DON’T MAKE BABIES

If Christian conversion has not yielded much, it is simply because the young believer doesn’t get enough care for belonging, orientation for mind renewal, leading by example for emulation and launch for practice. In one of these at least, every church or denomination that finds it difficult

having its spiritual babies become mature Christians is failing.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS NOT AN INSTANT HAPPENING, IT IS A CONTINUAL PROCESS

POSITIVE DOMINANT FEELINGS ARE LEFT UN-NURTURED WHILE NEGATIVE FEELINGS ARE LEFT UNCHECKED AND UNINFLUENCED BY THE WORD.

“Praise God I am saved” “I am a brand new man” “I won’t go to hell again” “The Struggle is over” etc.

Need to be nurtured with revelation knowledge of God’s Word.

"Here we go now, this Christian journey” “What do I need to start doing now?” “I will have to behave more carefully” etc.

Need to be solved in the young believer’s mind.

“Is this all to being a Christian?” “A part of me still wants to sin?” “How will I get those guys off my back?” etc.

Need to be addressed, edged out by absolute truth.
