GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: He Is Our Seal And Hope

The Spirit is not just for today’s strength; He is also God’s seal on us for eternity (Ephesians 1:13–14). He assures us that we belong to Christ and points us to the hope of glory. The Spirit is both a present comfort and a future guarantee.

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit As Our Power

The early church had no budget, no buildings, and no social media, yet they turned the world upside down. Their secret? The Holy Spirit’s power (Acts 1:8). The Spirit equips us to witness, gives boldness, and strengthens us in weakness. Without Him, we burn out; with Him, we blaze.

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: He Will Guide Us

Life is full of decisions, and not every path is clear. The Holy Spirit guides us into truth (John 16:13) and leads us in practical steps. Without His direction, we risk walking by sight rather than faith. With Him, even the wilderness becomes a place of purpose.

GROW Model | We Need The Holy Spirit: Why Do We Need Him?

Many believers acknowledge the Holy Spirit, but few realize how essential He is. Jesus Himself said it was better that He leave so that the Spirit could come (John 16:7). Without the Spirit, our faith becomes ritual without power, words without life, and effort without transformation.

GROW Model | What Is Love: The Love of God

After all the complexities of human love—the power, the burden, the dark sides—there’s a love that stands apart: the love of God. Unlike human love, it doesn’t trade, manipulate, or trap. But here’s the controversial part: God’s love also isn’t cheap or soft. It demands surrender, obedience, and transformation. It…

GROW Model | The Holy Spirit: Living In Step With The Spirit

Walking with the Holy Spirit isn’t an optional spiritual extra; it’s survival. Without Him, our faith becomes a performance, our obedience a burden, and our witness powerless. The Spirit doesn’t just empower — He transforms, aligns, and directs. To live in step with Him is to embrace daily surrender, even…

GROW Model | The Holy Spirit: Grieving The Holy Spirit

Grieving the Holy Spirit isn’t just about blatant rebellion; it’s often subtle. It’s in the ignored prompting to speak up, the overlooked conviction to repent, the quiet refusal to forgive. The tragedy is that many grieve Him while thinking they’re still “good Christians” because they maintain church routines. The Spirit’s…

GROW Model | The Holy Spirit: The Spirit’s Role In Conviction

For many, the Holy Spirit is the most misunderstood person of the Godhead — treated more like an abstract force than a divine, personal presence. But the Bible makes it clear: He’s not a “something” but a “someone” — a person who can be loved, obeyed, or rejected. Reducing Him…

GROW Model | Prayer and Fasting: Manipulating God?

Let’s be real—sometimes we fast not to draw closer to God, but to pressure Him. We turn it into a holy tantrum: “If I don’t eat, God has to answer.” But God isn’t moved by hunger; He’s moved by humility. Fasting doesn’t twist His arm—it breaks ours. It brings us…

GROW Model | The Compassion Of Christ: Forgiving The Unworthy

At the cross, Jesus showed compassion to the thief beside Him, to the Roman soldiers, and to a world steeped in sin. His compassion forgives—not just those who apologize, but even those who don’t yet understand the weight of their actions. This is divine mercy—love that covers even when it’s…
