This Spiritual seed grows at different rates in different people.
Some may be old in flesh, but babes in spirit; some may be wise but young.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a NET, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of EVERY KIND:
Many WILL be drawn to Christ even from an “imperfect” witness, from
an honest ❤️ BUT ALL will GROW!
One plants, one waters but GOD gives the increase, & HE calls!
It took the Israelites a day to leave Egypt; but it took 40 YRS of learning to obey, wandering in the Wilderness to get Egypt OUT OF the Israelites!
“Judge nothing before the time”
1 Cor 4:5
& “let patience have her perfect work” James 1:4 🙏🏻
Jn 6:44; Rom 14:4; 1 Cor 1:27
NO man CAN COME to me, except the FATHER which hath sent me DRAW HIM: and I WILL raise him up at the last day
Rom 14:4
Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to HIS OWN MASTER he standeth or falleth. Yea, he SHALL be holden up: for God is ABLE to make him STAND
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
A Believer surrenders his/her heart to be fully naked before God to be REMADE, but it’s a growth process
