DECLARATION
WE declare that as a family, we grow in the grace and knowledge of God. We decree that we are always advancing in our spiritual understanding and divine insight. We prophesy that we are a household immersed in the Word of God and we do what the Bible commands. We give of ourselves to do all that is needed to become mature saints. We declare spiritual growth, improvement, and expansion. We declare that we grow in prayer and study. We prophesy that we are mature and stable believers who function effectively within the Body of Christ. We say that nothing shall come to hinder, abort, or stunt the process of maturity in any member of our family! We decree that each of us grows spiritually in all aspects that the Lord desires for us, in Jesus’ Name!
SCRIPTURE
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18).
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT
There probably isn’t a more important element to our Christianity than our personal growth in the Lord. God wants us to develop beyond spiritual babyhood into mature saints. This needs to be a quest that we take seriously each day. By speaking and declaring over our own spiritual growth process, we become cognizant that this task is always before us. A mature believer who is constantly progressing in their spiritual development is a believer who can handle difficulty, face tribulation, and remain stable in the journey. Immaturity causes us to become reactionary to whatever the circumstance is at a given moment. This immaturity is often expressed through careless words, whereas a mature person knows how to control their tongue and choose their words wisely. A mature believer will ensure that they are committed to walking in all the commandments of Scripture. They are also dedicated to maintaining a teachable spirit that is receptive to the instruction and input of others. Take the position that you will commit to spiritual maturity, not only by doing the things necessary to obtaining it, but by declaring it upon your life and upon your family!
