Someone once said balance is what connects growth and stability. Imagine a man born on a farm who insists on eating only corn. Over time, he would suffer from deficiencies, digestive issues, and poor health due to the lack of balance provided by other food classes.
Similarly, when believers confine themselves to only one aspect of their faith, they risk spiritual stagnation and imbalance. Each ministry is unique and usually emphasizes specific themes: faith, wealth, power, prophecy, prayer, holiness, and many more. Consequently, a believer becomes malnourished if he only feeds on one class of spiritual food. Each element of the faith is to contribute to the overall health and growth of the believer.
How is this cross-feeding possible? Can a believer go to all churches or all meetings to get nutrients from different groups? No. Hence, Christ Ekklesia – The gathering of believers from diverse ministries, sharing fellowship. This assembly is where a believer who is knowledgeable about prayer, another who is about holiness, and another who knows so much about giving can share their knowledge and learn from one another.
As the various diets ensure growth and good health, engaging with believers from different backgrounds and ministries ensures spiritual nourishment and growth.
The question for you is this: what is holding you back from reaching out to believers around you?
