RESTLESSNESS- A SIGN OF IMMATURITY
As a university student, I was not rooted in any local church or fellowship for almost three years. I would go to a fellowship “as led by the Spirit of the Lord”. I thought I was really spiritual. I would be on my way to the fellowship I would normally attend, and then I would hear a voice saying, “Go to this one today”. I would go to a fellowship and would tell myself, “It was the Lord who led me”. For those three years, I was unstable, unpastored and unpredictable.
That could not have been the Lord leading me those days. It was my flesh taking advantage of my immaturity. Beloved, one of the signs of immaturity is restlessness. Let us look at scriptures:
God plants the solitary in families. To be planted means that I am rooted, watered and nurtured unto fruitfulness.
Psalm 68:6 NKJV
God sets the solitary in families;
A tree that is planted lacks the ability to jump from one place to another or from one church to another. They flourish where they are planted.
Psalm 92:12-14 NKJV
The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. [13] Those who are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. [14] They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing.
If the Lord has led you to a local church, it is to settle there and not to taste and go! When a man keeps going from place to place under the guise of “this is where the Lord led me to today”, such a man will never grow, he will never be accountable, he will never be well-pastored. Such is a dangerous believer.
If the Lord indeed is your shepherd, he will make you lie down in green pastures. That is the place of feeding and nourishing. Why are you jumping from place to place? The Spirit of the Lord is not a wandering Spirit. Stop using “God told me” as a cover for your immaturity.
Which church are you in? Simple question.
Who is your pastor? Simple Question.
Stop sharing some carnal deep revelation. Grow up!
