True maturity takes time

Daily prophetic word 
Increasing Your Spiritual Stature
"For I am causing you to grow in your mature wisdom," says the Spirit.   "Even the way some people are responding to you now will begin to change as your stature increases and you will have greater favor with them in the days ahead," says the Lord. 

Prophetic Scripture:
Luke 2:52 - And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

We assume because Jesus was the Son of God, that He was born into perfect maturity.  However, although He did not commit sin in His life, He did have to grow up from childhood and all the things that go with that.  Notice that is says Jesus increased in wisdom.  That means it wasn't just automatic, but was something He developed in His life as He grew up.  Well, if Jesus had to increase in wisdom, then who are we kidding!  We need to grow also, and cannot assume that we are always mature about everything.  Often we assume that when certain people respond to us negatively in certain situations, it is because they don't understand us or accept us.  Sometimes it is not that they not trying to mistreat us, but instead are actually resonding to some of our childlike behaviors, which are not necessarily all bad.  Many of these things take time to outgrow and that is okay.  We don't expect our young children to eat their food as neatly as an adult.  As good parents we teach them good table manners that they can develop over time.  it is the same way with us in our spiritual growth.  True maturity takes time, but the key is that we need to make sure we are making progress in our growth.  We need to realize the Lord will help us mature in our spiritual stature before others, just the way the Lord anointed Jesus to do so.  With that we will find ourselves growing and enjoying an increase of favor upon our lives as we deal with people in so many walks of life.  Be confident that God is increasing your spiritual stature today!

Prayer:

Dear Lord, I thank You that You are increasing my spiritual stature and maturity today.  Teach me how to grow in all walks of life, so that I will have favor will all those that come into contact with.  I ask You to anoint me with the power of spiritual maturity and wisdom the way that Jesus was anointed.  I thank You for that today!  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
