Rhapsody of Realities – 6th September 2025 MESSAGE
Have you ever pondered why, as a younger Christian, it seemed your prayers received quicker answers compared to now that you’ve grown in your walk with the Lord? Maybe you even prayed incorrectly, and yet God always answered you. Yes, He answered you because you were a spiritual infant.
God answers such prayers, not because they’re right, but because He’s giving the babes some space to grow. After a while, what used to work for them at that level won’t work anymore because they have to stop feeding on milk: “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe” (Hebrews 5:13).
As you grow in Christ, God starts taking you more seriously. The things you say and do—the words you speak, the words you hear, how you reason, what you think about the Scriptures, how you pray and the content of your prayers, etc.—will begin to matter. You discover we don’t pray to Jesus in the Name of Jesus; rather, we pray to the Father in the Name of Jesus.
We also don’t “come to Him” every time we pray. The day you gave your heart to Christ to be born again, was the day you came to Him. The sinner can say, “Oh Lord, I come to you in the Name of Jesus” because he was out. But you are in Him; you live in Him. To a young or carnal Christian, these things may not mean much, but they bear great spiritual significance.
The Bible says, “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil” (Hebrews 5:14). When you grow up and start applying the Scriptures rightly, you’ll discover that you’ll no longer experience ups and downs in life. Your life will be from faith to faith, grace to grace, and glory to glory. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word, which is my life and the light by which I see. I’m yielded to its power to transform and build me up in every area, delivering to me my inheritance in Christ. Your glory is revealed in my life, constantly transfiguring and renewing me more and more in knowledge into your image, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
