Enemies Of Growth

Scripture Of The Day
Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters that spreads out its roots by the river, and it shall not see and fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green It shall not be anxious and full of care in the year of the drought, nor shall it cease yielding fruit. (Jeremiah 17:7 and 8)
By Cheryl Henderson ( Excerpts from Trent Cory)
As we enter 2026, let us move forward with truth, hope, and expectation. Not long ago, my Pastor taught on Enemies of Growth. I realize that I am not a spring chicken, but I still have a thirst for God’s Word, inspiration, and transformation. We are all still under construction. If the best is yet to come, then I want to be in a position to receive it. I have such expectations for the coming new year.
Here are two things that can keep us held back in our calling.
1. Insecurity
Lack of trust in the Lord and His Word. Boy, have I been there lately. I have been listening to the lie that somehow it is all up to me! That I had to do everything all by myself. I forgot 2 Corinthians 10:5: To cast down every thought and imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. I forgot to take every thought captive. I have been relying a little too much on myself! The bottom line is that insecurity is unbelief!! Insecurity robs our potential. I had to repent right there in the pew!! I changed my thinking and my confession to All Things Are Possible!
2. Inconsistency
We must stay consistent in all things. The story of Joshua and Caleb was used to help us see that these two men were consistent in serving the Lord. When they went in to spy out the land, they came back with good news, while the others came back with a negative report. Staying consistent in knowing who God is helps us to see what others cannot. It keeps you and me in the right spirit. It keeps us connected to the vine. The vine that feeds us and gives us life. We establish a deep root system in truth and faith by being consistent. I am renewed in my spirit, and I’ve got my eye on these two.
Most blessed is the man who believes in, trusts in, and relies on the Lord, and whose hope and confidence the Lord is.
