PROGRESS – SIGN OF LIFE

But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day – Proverbs 4:18

God has programmed His creatures, and in particular, His children for progress in all dimensions of existence. Physical growth, mental maturity and psychological development, all indicate progress in one form or the other. Every living thing grows; or else it is dying! Irrespective of whether it is slow, steady, gradual, or rapid, every opportunity for progress is preferable to redundancy or stagnancy.

Progress is vital to living. Stagnancy is contrary to living. The living move; the dead are static and still. The spiritually alive are on progressive, forward and upward movement: “...and ye shall GO FORTH, and GROW UP as calves of the stall” (Mal.4:2b).

PROGRESS is a SIGN of LIFE. Progress is vital to living. It is an evidence of life. Stagnancy is contrary to living. It is an emblem of death, a picture of the embalmed. The living move; the dead are still! The living can be encouraged, influenced, inspired and motivated. Similarly, the spiritually alive are on progressive, forward and upward movement. The dead never respond to any form of stimuli, except the elements of corruption and decay. The dead do not possess any room for progress. the dead can only retrogress into decay.

If he could have his way, the devil wants to stagnate your life, but God is determined to accelerate you in life. That is why God removes debilitating burdens from off our shoulders and destroys the yokes that would have dragged us back (Isa.10:27). Whether you walk, run, or soar, you must begin to experience progress. I prophesy: You will overcome all of the enemies’ barriers and manouvers against your life’s progress. Satan’s deception, distractions and false attractions will never tamper with your progress in Jesus name.
