GROWTH-MATURITY-FRUITFULNESS: THE ESSENCE OF GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS!  

“But GROW in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18. 

The SEPTEMBER 2026 EDITION of the “ACHIEVERS FAITH DIGEST [AFD]” MONTHLY TEACHING MAGAZINE is INSPIRING, REVEALING and EMPOWERING for your GROWTH, MATURITY and FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

And it is AWAITING YOU to explore for your essence — to ensure the path to your BUTTERFLIES. 

So many of us have spent seasons CHASING what we were only ever meant to ATTRACT. 
We have run after BREAKTHROUGH, after FAVOUR, after the very things Scripture calls BUTTERFLIES — a restless, exhausting pursuit, always a few steps behind the very thing we long to hold. 

But SEPTEMBER is not asking you to RUN FASTER. It is asking you to GROW DEEPER — GROUNDED, ROOTED, FORTIFIED — to MATURE and BECOME FRUITFUL in Christ Jesus’ stead, for EFFORTLESS living and GODLY LIVING in THE GRACE. 

It’s time to CREATE THE GARDEN — through GRACE, through the KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS, through the SLOW AND STEADY work of a life ROOTED IN HIM — and in time, WITHOUT STRIVING, WITHOUT SWEAT, WITHOUT BURNOUT, the BUTTERFLIES WILL COME AND SETTLE. The BEES WILL COME TO POLLINATE your work and your working, in THE GRACE. 

What you once chased will simply ARRIVE, because you finally became the kind of GROUND it could not resist. 

“And now I COMMEND you to God [placing you in His protective, loving care] and [I commend you] to THE WORD OF HIS GRACE [the counsel and promises of His unmerited favor]. His GRACE is able to BUILD YOU UP and to GIVE YOU the [rightful] INHERITANCE among all those who are SANCTIFIED [that is, among those who are set apart for God’s PURPOSE—all believers]” Acts 20:32/Amplified.

It is my EARNEST PRAYER that in this month of SEPTEMBER 2026 and onwards, GROWTH, MATURITY and FRUITFULNESS in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE OF GOD becomes your WATCHWORD.

The quiet, daily tending that will eventually bring forth the BUTTERFLIES you have been longing for, in Christ Jesus. It is on this note that this month of SEPTEMBER is entitled: GROWING IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS! It is about ensuring that your SPIRITUAL GROWTH will bring forth your BUTTERFLIES in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. BLESSED READING in THE GRACE — and as you are blessed, SHARE it along to GOD’S GLORY in Christ Jesus. Amen.

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED, SPIRITED HEARTED LIFE! 

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina 

“But GROW [spiritually MATURE] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18 Amplified. 

You are either RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH or you just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED to MATURITY – and it’s this difference that makes the impact in life. A MATURED spirited HEARTED person is the result of being RAISED in GROWTH. It’s a cause for HUMILITY that brings about EXALTATION.  Otherwise, pride, arrogance, immaturity, and limitations traces show up because there was no cultivation – of being RAISED to MATURITY in GROWTH. 

 Hence, you can see a grown adult by age and size, still lacking the ADULTHOOD principles of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will reveal and bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY.  

You see these effect manifesting in places of opportunities like: Governance, Marital Relationships, Career Opportunities, Workplace Positions and Inter-Job Relationships, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conduct tests, Family Relationships and more. Maturity is not just about growing, but about being raised to become more. 

Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord, was BORN as a CHILD, but as a SON, He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GROW, He submitted Himself to be RAISED through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Luke 2:44-52.  

Being RAISED, He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, He was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all.  

Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years, He submitted Himself to be RAISED to GROW and MATURE for the CALLED PURPOSE. Being MADE and ready, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and a half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52. 

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time who just GREW without being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character were raised by many factors of life that came their way, making them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence, and history. Hence, you see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish behaviour – no matter their attainments in life. 

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? Or did you just GROW to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH?  

You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE, WHERE YOU ARE, and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME. 

 It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING, and more, to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead.  

It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLE enough in it. Being raised saves you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10. 

IS WORTH BEING RAISED IN GROWTH TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN. 

BE BLESSED. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God RESISTS THE PROUD, But GIVES GRACE to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6. 

“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 DRAW NIGH to God, and he will DRAW NIGH to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:7-10. 

“Let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a SERVANT, and was MADE in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a name which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11. 

“. . . 21 For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH righteously . . .” 1Peter 2:1-25. 

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine). 

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 Emphasis Mine. 

“The FEAR of the Lord is the INSTRUCTION of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:33. 

“Before DESTRUCTION the HEART of man is HAUGHTY, and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 18:12. 

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS, BOTH HEARING THEM, AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and ANSWERS. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:41-52. 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises the importance of being raised to become in growth, highlighting the difference it makes in life. It’s about being raised to maturity, not just growing, but being transformed to fulfil purpose. 

Key Points 

  • Being raised in growth leads to maturity, humility, and exaltation. 
  • Without being raised, pride, arrogance, and immaturity show up.

  • Great people who outlasted their time were raised by life’s factors, showing humility, diligence, and faithfulness. 
  • Being raised saves from pride and stupidity (1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10). 

Questions to Reflect

  • Are you being raised to become in growth? 
  • Or did you just grow without being raised?

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH

BEING RAISED TO BECOME IN GROWTH: THAT’S THE PATH OF MATURED, SPIRITED-HEARTED LIFE!

“If You Are Not RAISED, You Will Soon Be ERASED Out Of The RACE” – Rev Dr Favour Adeshina

“But GROW [spiritually MATURE] in the GRACE and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:18 Amplified.

You are either RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH or you only just GREW and GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED to MATURITY – and it’s this contrary, that makes the difference in life for so many. A MATURED spirited HEARTED person is the consequence of being RAISED in GROWTH. It’s a cause for HUMILITY that bring about EXALTATION –  Otherwise, pride, arrogance, immaturity and such like limitation traces shows up, because they wasn’t any cultivation – of being RAISED in unto MATURITY in GROWTH. Hence you can see a grown adult by age and size, still lacking the ADULTHOOD principle of ACCOUNTABILITY and RESPONSIBILITY in places of expectations, because POSITIONS test will reveal and bring forth the TRUE NATURE in CHARACTER and MATURITY. You see these effect manifesting in places of opportunities: Governance, Marital Relationship, Career Opportunities, Work Place Positions And Inter Job Relationship, Leadership Positions, Ministerial etiquette and Conducts test, Family Relationship and such like.

Jesus Christ our Saviour and Lord, as a CHILD was BORN, but as a SON He was MADE to BECOME what He’s to us. He did not just GREW, He submitted Himself to be RAISED through learning and obedience to the necessary guidance for His EXALTATION. Luke 2:44-52. Being RAISED He was MADE to BECOME to fulfil PURPOSE. Being MADE as a son, he was GIVEN for our REDEMPTION, fulfilling the cause and purpose for which He came into the world. That’s what stands Him out from all. Trace His path on earth with God, His natural parents and dealings with others in Ministry. For thirty years He submitted Himself to be RAISED in order to GROW and MATURED for the CALLED PURPOSE; and being MADE and ready to be, He was GIVEN for the undeniable gracious and graceful three and half years Ministry, fulfilling His given cause and eternal purpose on the earth. Philippians 2:5-11; Luke 1:41-52.

There’s no great person that have outlasted the history of his time that just GREW without being RAISED along to BECOME in GROWTH. The great and envied sustainable people with courtesy in character, were raised by many factors of life that came their way to make them become the envy of others, epitome of trust, confidence and history; hence you can see in them humility, diligence, faithfulness, service, sacrifice, responsibility, accountability and dedication to their causes and purposes. Unlike some, who lack the matured hearted growth of being raised, and are full of arrogance, pride, selfishness, wickedness, immaturity, controversy and such like immature childish  behaviour no matter their attainments in life.

Are you RAISED in GROWTH to BECOME? Are you being RAISED to BECOME in GROWTH? or did you just GREW to Become and or GROWN to BECOME without being RAISED in GROWTH? You need to take a purse and think through which and where you belong momentarily. You need to watch your track and path of life – that will tell you WHAT YOU ARE and WHERE YOU ARE and WHAT YOU MAY LIKELY BE or HAD BECOME. It’s WORTH being RAISED to BECOME in life and godliness. It’s wise to SUBMIT for GUIDANCE, TUTORING, MENTORING and such like, in order to be RAISED as you GROW in life and grace, in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. It will pay up greater dividend if you are HUMBLED enough in it. Being raised save you from PRIDE that GOES before a FALL and STUPIDITY – 1 Peter 5:5-6; James 4:7-10.

IS WORTH BEING RAISED IN GROWTH TO BECOME IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD. AMEN.

BE BLESSED.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“But the PATH of the JUST (RIGHTEOUS) is as the shining light, that SHINES MORE AND MORE unto the PERFECT (DAWN) day.” Proverbs 4:18 (Emphasis Mine).

“Likewise you YOUNGER people, submit yourselves to your ELDERS. Yes, all of you be SUBMISSIVE to one another, and be clothed with HUMILITY, for “God RESISTS THE PROUD, But GIVES GRACE to the HUMBLE. 6 HUMBLE yourselves therefore UNDER the mighty hand of God, that he may EXALT you in due time” 1 Peter 5:5-6.

“SUBMIT yourselves therefore to God. RESIST the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 DRAW NIGH to God, and he will DRAW NIGH to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 HUMBLE yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall LIFT you up” James 4:7-10.

“Let this MIND be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7 but MADE himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a SERVANT, and was MADE in the likeness of men: 8 and being found in fashion as a man, he HUMBLED himself, and became OBEDIENT unto death, even the death of the cross. 9 Wherefore God also hath HIGHLY EXALTED him, and GIVEN him a name which is ABOVE every name: 10 that at the NAME of Jesus every KNEE should BOW, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 and that every TONGUE should CONFESS that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” Philippians 2:5-11.

“. . . 21 For even HEREUNTO were ye CALLED: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an EXAMPLE, that ye should FOLLOW his steps: 22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but COMMITTED himself to him that JUDGETH righteously . . .” 1Peter 2:1-25.

“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are DULL of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye OUGHT to be teachers, ye have need that one TEACH you again which be the FIRST PRINCIPLES of the oracles of God; and are BECOME such as have NEED of milk, and not of STRONG meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is UNSKILFUL in the WORD of righteousness: for he is a BABE. 14 But STRONG MEAT belongeth to them that are of FULL age (MATURE, GROWN), even those who by reason of use have their SENSES exercised to DISCERN both good and evil” Hebrews 5:11-14 (Emphasis Mine).

“By HUMILITY and the FEAR (REVERENTIAL FEAR) of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life” Proverbs 22:4 Emphasis Mine.

“The FEAR of the Lord is the INSTRUCTION of wisdom; and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 15:33.

“Before DESTRUCTION the HEART of man is HAUGHTY, and before HONOUR is HUMILITY” Proverbs 18:12.

“Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. 43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it. 44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. 46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, SITTING IN THE MIDST OF THE DOCTORS, BOTH HEARING THEM, AND ASKING THEM QUESTIONS. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his UNDERSTANDING and ANSWERS. 48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing. 49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? WIST YE NOT THAT I MUST BE ABOUT MY FATHER’S BUSINESS? 50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. 51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart. 52 And Jesus INCREASED in WISDOM and STATURE, and in FAVOUR with God and man” Luke 2:41-52.
