#NEW_THINGS__NEW_BORN_BABIES
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” – 1 Peter 2:2 (KJV)
🔥 #EXHORTATION
Good morning beloved!
God is not only a God of new seasons — He is also a God of new beginnings. And one of the clearest pictures of a new beginning is a newborn baby. In Christ, when God brings you into a new season, He does not expect you to live by old strength, old appetite, or old patterns. He gives you a new life with new desires.
Peter says, “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” This means every new thing God does in your life demands a new hunger and a new growth process. New birth is not the end — it is the beginning. New seasons are not for display — they are for development. New levels are not sustained by old habits.
Hear this truth:
■ Every new thing God starts must be nurtured.
■ Every new season must be fed.
■ Every new level must be grown into.
A baby that refuses milk will not grow. In the same way, a believer who enters a new season but refuses the Word, prayer, and discipline will remain small in a big season.
God is birthing new things in your life — new grace, new opportunities, new assignments, new dimensions. But He is also calling you to embrace new appetites, new disciplines, and new devotion.
Beloved, don’t just celebrate the new things — grow into it. Don’t just announce the new season — nourish it. Whatever you don't feed will die and whatever you don't feed well will not grow well. Your new beginning must be protected, fed, and matured.
