Questions:
Q1: What most commonly hinders you to improve/develop your spiritual growth?
    We cannot avoid "Hindrances" in our daily walk with God. There will always be "Hindrances" and it’s up to us if we will focus on those hindrances or do something about it. So.. what are the most commonly hindrances to develop your spiritual growth?

Q2: How truly sincere are we to work out/increase our spiritual maturity?
   Do you do something to work out/develop/increase your Spiritual Maturity?

Dear Fellow Christians,
    What God cares most about is our spiritual growth and spiritual development. Just like a parent training and teaching his child as he grows up.

God wants you to grow up!

Our Heavenly Father’s desire is for us to become more mature and develop the characteristics of Jesus Christ. God remove anything that hinders our usefulness if we let Him do His Job.

But why other people being unproductive in their daily walk with God? Here are some Reasons why Spiritual Infancy and Unproductiveness are taking advantage over God’s people:

1. SELF-ASSUMING SPIRIT - A.K.A. PRIDE or ARROGANCE
    Some Christians doesn’t want to be teach. They always say they are right and they don’t accept Rebukes. Some Christians thinks they already know everything.

2. SPIRITUAL BLIND SPOTS - A.K.A. LOST OPPORTUNITIES (TAKING FOR GRANTED)
    Some Christians… they take for the granted the trainings and seminars. They don’t attend such events… and most especially "Prayer Meetings". Other Christians are also afraid to Commit to the Ministry, thus making them useless and unfruitful.

3. UNREALISTIC FAITH - AKA RELIGIOUS SPIRIT / HYPOCRISY
    Some Christians are living "Traditionally". They follow the traditions of Men rather of than God. They profess that they know what they are doing yet they deny the power of the cross and the laws of God.

So how can we improve/develop our Spiritually? Here are Steps/Keys to Spiritual Progress:

1. Program your Mind to Spiritual Growth
- Everyday, Read the Bible… Take time to pray. Know God more.

2. Break out of your Self-imposed Prison
- Take a Risk. Join any Ministry. Commit yourself to God and Serve Him even others think you’re crazy doing that.

3. Sharpen your Maturity by expanding your growth and improvement
- Join Seminars. Attend Trainings and Meetings. Be active in Prayer meetings and Services.

4. Accelerate and desire Radical Change
- Be Radical when it comes to Serve God. Be Crazy.. so crazy that you’ll do anything in serving God’s Kingdom and God.

5. Move on to serve the Living God
- The summary of all of these steps. Serve God. Don’t be afraid. The Reward is Out of this World.
