Creating An Atmosphere Conducive for Development
A particular environment or surrounding influence, for example there is an atmosphere of excitement or an atmosphere of doubt. The weather or climate at some place, "the atmosphere was thick with fog" A distinctive but intangible quality surrounding a person or thing, "an air of mystery", "an atmosphere of defeat", or "the place had an aura of romance"
It is imperative that we discover how to create an atmosphere conducive for development. It is my humble conclusion that the will and desire of God for us is to develop. Fulfilling your purpose and destiny in life necessitate that we develop and grow spiritually, mentally and physically. 1 Peter 2:2 declares that “as new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby”. In Hebrews 5:14 Paul lets us understand that “But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil”.
The Greek word for Exercise is Gegymnasmena, which indicates how an athlete exercises or trains his body. That means we need to exercise our senses (mental capabilities) to develop by reason of use.
In first Timothy 4:8 the scripture declares that, “For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come”. If you notice, it did not say that bodily exercise does not profit at all but a little. We do certainly need the little profit that bodily exercise provides as we aspire to develop spiritually, mentally and physically.
In other to cultivate an atmosphere for consistent development and growth we must apply ourselves to the following elements:
• The Word of God - 2 Timothy 2:15
• Prayer, Praise and Worship - Philippians 4:6
• Quietness - 1 Peter 3:4; 1 Thessalonians 4:11
• Separation - Proverbs 18:1
• Keeping wise relationships - Proverbs 13:20
• Meditation - Philippians 4:4-9
• Bodily Exercise – 1 Timothy 4:8
• Habitual reading - 1 Tim. 4:13
Enjoy!
