N othing in this world is easy, not even going to the toilet. Every thing that is good take some efforts and planning. The Christians life is not different, it will be as easy as you willing to put into it. The whole things depend on how you started out. There are some thing that you will have to do. To make it worth the effort. You must follow on to know the lord. You cannot just turn tail and run like a scary rabbit, then expect to get the best out of thing. You cannot treat Christianity like how we treat hour high school training, and expect reap great rewards.

GO ON TO KNOW THE LORD:

Hosea 6:3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth.

2 Peter 3:17-AV Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. 2Peter 3:18-AV But grow in grace, and [in] the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him [be] glory both now and for ever. Amen.

1Timothy 4:15-AV Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.

Colossians 2:6-AV As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, [so] walk ye in him: Colossians 2:7-AV Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Acts 1:8-AV But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

GETTING TO KNOW THE GENUINE HOLY SPIRIT YOUR HELPER:

John 16:13-AV Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

THINGS THAT CAN PREVENT YOU FROM GROW IN GRACE:

Colossians 2:8-AV Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

THERE IS ALSO A SPIRIT OF THE WORLD THAT CLAIMS TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT:

1Corinthians 2:12-AV Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

MAD SPIRITS IN THE CHURCHES CLAIMING TO BE THE HOLY SPIRIT:

2Timothy 1:7-AV For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Demons are full of fear, having no love and are mad.

James 2:19-AV Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

#2 FAITH ARE THE PRODUCTS OF DAILY BIBLE READING:

Not knowing the scripture can prevent you:

Matthew 22:29-AV Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.

Psalms 119:11-AV Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Romans 10:17-AV So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Joshua 1:8-AV This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

2Timothy 2:15-AV Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

1Timothy 4:13-AV Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.

Acts 17:10-AV And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the Jews. Acts 17:11-AV These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:12-AV Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

DO NOT BE MEAN TO YOUR FAITH:

Buy books, and do not make it an habit to lend your books to other Christians. Many will will not give it back, and hard feelings starts when you ask for it.

#3 DAILY PRAYING AND SEEKING GOD'S FACE:

1Timothy 2:8-AV I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

PRAYER IS NOT TO MAN:

Matthew 6:7-AV But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

Matthew 6:5-AV And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 6:6-AV But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

FORGIVENESS AND PRAYER GOES HAND IN HAND:

Unforgiving spirit can prevent you from growing in grace.

Luke 17:3-AV Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Luke 6:37-AV Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:

Mark 11:25-AV And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mark 11:26-AV But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

#4 PURGE YOURSELF OF CERTAIN SINS:

un confess sins can prevent you from growing in grace:

Psalms 66:18-AV If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear [me]:

This could take months are years, depend on your personality and how much you love the lord. The lord grant all his servant a temporary conjunction. To bounce proof your faith until you came of age spiritually. So do not think you are lost because every thing is not purge out the same months. However, the more junks you clean out of your life it the better you will be. Things like covetousness, grudges and bitterness, must go right away. If these three sins ever get to stick on to you, it will fallow you right through your ministry. And use you to kill the progress of your own ministry.

2Timothy 2:21-AV If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, [and] prepared unto every good work. 2Timothy 2:22-AV Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2Timothy 2:23-AV But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 2Timothy 2:24-AV And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all [men], apt to teach, patient, 2Timothy 2:25-AV In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 2Timothy 2:26-AV And [that] they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

PURGE YOURSELF FROM THESE. COVETOUSNESS:

Luke 12:15-AV And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

BITTERNESS:

Hebrews 12:15-AV Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble [you], and thereby many be defiled;

GRUDGES:

James 5:9-AV Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

James 4:1-AV From whence [come] wars and fightings among you? [come they] not hence, [even] of your lusts that war in your members?

Hebrews 11:6-AV But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

James 3:16-AV For where envying and strife [is], there [is] confusion and every evil work.

#5 DEALING WITH PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS

Philippians 1:15-AV Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: Philippians 1:16-AV The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: Philippians 1:17-AV But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

Romans 16:17-AV Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

2Timothy 2:23-AV But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Titus 3:9-AV But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

#6 THERE ARE OTHER GENUINE CHRISTIANS WHO DO NOT THINK AND SEE THINGS LIKE YOU, BUT THEY LOVE THE LORD. DO NOT GO CAUSING TROUBLE IN THE FAMILY:

John 10:16-AV And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.

Mark 9:38-AV And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. Mark 9:39-AV But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. Mark 9:40-AV For he that is not against us is on our part.

#7 DO NOT CONTENDED WITH PEOPLE WHO LIVE BAD LIFE AND USES THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFIED IT:

Galatians 5:7-AV Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth?

Jude 1:9-AV Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

Revelation 22:11-AV He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

Romans 1:19-AV Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

Romans 1:20-AV For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Romans 12:3-AV For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think [of himself] more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.

BAD MARRIAGE WILL KILL YOUR CHANCE OF EVER GROWING IN GRACE:

Amos 3:3-AV Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS:

2Corinthians 6:14-AV Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH ANOTHER BELIEVERS WITH CONFLICTING CALLING AND DIFFERENT SPIRITUAL DEPTH:

Romans 8:5-AV For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:6-AV For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace. Romans 8:7-AV Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

1Corinthians 2:15-AV But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

WARS AND FIGHTING IS PREVALENT AMONG CARNAL BELIEVERS:

1Corinthians 3:1-AV And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, [even] as unto babes in Christ. 1Corinthians 3:2-AV I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able [to bear it], neither yet now are ye able. 1Corinthians 3:3-AV For ye are yet carnal: for whereas [there is] among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

CARNAL CHRISTIANS DO NOT UNDERSTAND MATURE CHRISTIANS:

John 3:8-AV The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Immature believers cannot live in pace with a mature Christians. Moreover, these do not understand mature Christians. In most cases they see your efforts and zeal as a show off. Why do you have to be more righteous that others? Why cant you smoke, get drunk, take part in illicit sex act like others? The same way how they are not subject to God, it will be the same medicine you get from such. You will be sorry you ever get married to a carnal Christians. They will never declare their background to you before getting married. Your meat will fry.

ADD TO YOUR FAITH:

Add fasting and praying, I did not mention "Fasting" But some fasting will be good.

2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
