5 Ways to Grow Spiritually and Strengthen Your Faith

 



The quest for spiritual growth is something many Nigerians pursue, as evidenced by the tens of thousands of religious institutions across the country. However, this journey can be hampered by various factors, including a busy work schedule. The good news is that, even with a hectic routine, you can achieve personal spiritual growth by following these simple steps.

1. Adopt Praying: Prayer is simply talking to God or a higher being. It’s not just about saying the words but engaging in a conversation. Incorporating this into your daily routine will help you grow spiritually.

2. Read and study religious books: Most religious texts should be thought of as handbooks. These books—such as the Bible, Quran, Book of Mormon, etc.—teach how to live a fruitful and fulfilled life and attain spiritual growth.

3. Engage in worship: Worship deepens one’s spiritual relationship in two ways. Private worship involves daily prayers and scripture study, while corporate worship involves gathering with others for prayer and worship.

You can also experience diverse styles of worship from the comfort of your home. For example, you can join Redemption Way, a ministration of prophetic words of knowledge by Pastor E.A. Adeboye; Healing Word focused on salvation and prophetic Word by Prophet Mike Agboola, airing every day on Dove TV (ch. 113); the New Level ministration series by Pastors Hank and Brenda Kunneman; and Adventures in Faith with Jerry Savelle, airing on Faith TV (ch. 110) on GOtv. You can also enjoy Islamic-themed programs and teachings on Sunna TV (ch. 114) and Islamic TV (ch. 111) daily on GOtv.

4. Practice fellowship: Fellowship goes beyond prayer and worship; it includes building relationships and supporting one another. This could involve joining local groups, scripture classes, Christian book clubs, Christian therapy groups, or faith-based fitness classes. Surround yourself with people who encourage your spiritual growth.

5. Witness: The popular saying "Do as I do" plays a key role in spiritual growth. Witnessing means sharing your spiritual journey through both words and actions and using your spiritual gifts to benefit others. This can include teaching, evangelism, serving, or providing financial assistance to those in need.
