Life is a journey of growth—and often, we don’t see how far we’ve come until we pause to reflect. It was fun to reminisce about the significant changes and improvements concerning the "house." Did you see the Tree and how big it's grown? We know the message of Let the Word Become Life in Your Life has reached 30 nations, proving that faith's roots are deep and wide. If you can’t see the tree’s size, perhaps you haven’t truly seen your own growth.
God wanted you to know that because of your growth, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you, igniting your life like a menorah—illuminating your purpose and opening doors to service. You are sent not by chance but by divine appointment. As a tree of righteousness planted by the Lord, you are called to build, raise, and repair through preaching the good news, healing the brokenhearted, setting the captives free, and opening the prison for those bound. (Isaiah 61:1-4) This will be the Adventure of a Lifetime should you accept the mission.
Accepting the mission means you must be able to:
See through the doubt: Remember, this is a year of double grace—a season of God-given ability to overcome.
See through the lie: What if you weren’t surrounded by those who highlight your limitations?
See through unbelief: Silence your inner critic and recognize the fruit in your life.
See how well you’re taught: You are a conduit of God’s power and limitless potential.
See that you are planted: Trust the Lord to confirm His Word with signs following (Mark 16:20).
Completing the mission requires seeing it through, which means taking action with the gifts and fruits you’ve been given:
Use your gifts: God has equipped you with spiritual tools (1 Cor. 12:7-10).
Rely on His strength: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Phil. 4:13).
Start today: “Now is the accepted time; now is the day of salvation” (2 Cor. 6:2).
God promises new beginnings: “Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth…” (Isaiah 43:19). Embrace this season as the best year of your life so far—in your business, marriage, career, ministry, and relationship with God.
This is a year to experience the Adventure of a Lifetime as you lead people through:
Salvations: “They departed and went through the town preaching the gospel and healing everywhere” (Luke 9:6).
Healings: “The leaves of the trees were for the healing of the nations” (Rev. 22:2).
Miracles: “Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people” (Acts 6:8

How have you personally experienced growth in your life, and what specific moments have helped you recognize that growth?

How have you personally experienced growth in your life, and what specific moments have helped you recognize that growth? I have experienced growth in my life, every service when I stand behind the pulpit and open the service with a scripture that God gives to me reminds me of the growth. Especially because I used to say that I would never stand behind the pulpit and preach.
