KEEP GROWING IN THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME DSC. DSC. DD.
But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen (2 Peter 3:18).
In 1 Peter 2:2, Peter writes to Jewish Christian pilgrims in certain cities, and he says to them, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” The word “babes” there is “brephos” (Greek) and it refers to infants, children. Peter was writing to infant churches and young Christians; they had recently given their hearts to Christ.
But then there’s another group of Christians described in 1 Corinthians 3. The Apostle Paul called them “babes in Christ.” He said, “And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:1).
The word “babes” in this case is the Greek “nēpios.” It means one who can’t talk right. He may be twenty years old, but he’s not able to communicate correctly. He’s unskilled, untrained, not mentally coordinated, in spite of his age. So, when it’s applied spiritually, it’s dealing with somebody who is a spiritual babe, one that’s not cultured, even though he’s been a Christian for many years. Such people can neither grasp spiritual communication nor communicate spiritual truths. Paul berated them, saying, “I have fed you with milk, and not with meat…” (1 Corinthians 3:2). “Milk” refers to the elementary principles of the Word of God, the elementary doctrines of Christ.
One who’s a spiritual babe will pray and cry to God to bless him. If he were spiritually mature, he’d have known that God already blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3). He hasn’t grown to understand the mystery of Christ, that the day he was born into Christ, he became an heir of all the blessings of God in Christ Jesus.
Grow in the things of God. Press on for more knowledge, for more understanding. Keep learning the Word, with an unquenchable desire to know the Lord more and have His glory revealed in your life.
CONFESSION
Our God is great, and greatly to be praised. There’s no end to the awesomeness of His Majesty. As I keep learning His Word, His glory is revealed in my life; I’m constantly transfigured and renewed more and more in knowledge into His image. Blessed be God!

Kanye West has solidified his place as a creative genius, and his
influence extends far beyond rap. Kanye West posters have become incredibly popular among fans and
poster collectors alike.
From his debut album like “The College Dropout” to his trailblazing
albums like “Yeezus” and “The Life of Pablo,” Kanye’s visuals have always been iconic.
These images are usually turned into wall
art, which immortalize the vibe of his creative vision.
Fans cherish these art pieces not just for their aesthetic appeal, but also for the
emotional connection they hold. A Kanye West poster can enhance
a living room into a personal gallery, bringing style and
uniqueness.
Each poster tells a story of Kanye’s growth as an icon.
The “Graduation” print, with its bold design, captures the joy
of accomplishment, while the “808s & Heartbreak” artwork,
with its sparse style, expresses the deep sadness of the
album.
Regardless of whether you’re a passionate supporter of Kanye’s art or simply value high-quality design, there’s
a Ye print that fits your taste. These prints make great additions
for family who appreciate great art.
Ultimately, Ye posters are more than just art pieces; they are manifestations of a creative genius.
Get one today and bring home a piece of music history.
