God\nwants us to come of age. He wants sons and daughters who can take hold\nof their inheritance, and He has provided a sound process for achieving\nthis. As the gifts that God has placed in the church equip the saints\n(that\u2019s you), and as you enlarge through active and energetic service,\nyou grow up and increase in all matters of life. Resulting in you being\ntransformed into the image of Christ and becoming a true joint-heir\nwith Him - ruling and reigning here on earth! However, growing up into\nmaturity is a definite process (a journey), and it requires thought and\ndetermination.
