Growing in the Spirit Pt. 2: Raising Others Higher Than Yourself

Core Message

True spiritual maturity is measured by raising others to greater heights than yourself through teaching and discipleship, not by the power you display or miracles you perform.

Key Scripture

For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers. — Romans 1:9 (KJV)

3 Key Takeaways

1. True spiritual maturity produces greater works in others, not just in yourself—if no one around you has exceeded you, the assignment has not been completed.
2. Teaching raises people to a higher dimension of function while prophesying only changes their temporary circumstances, which is why teaching is the greater act of love.
3. A true man of God is identified by who he raises and the spiritual children he produces, not by the magnitude of miracles he performs or the power he displays.

Prayer Focus

Pray that God would give you a heart to raise others beyond yourself and grant you the spiritual awareness to see and pour into those He places in your path.
