Day 302: Prayer for the saints to see the meaning of perfecting

“Many saints who have regularly attended church meetings, trainings, and conferences for several years still lack growth or do not function adequately. Others function a great deal, but their functioning is not effective or fruitful. In such cases, we need to find the reason. There may be a hidden sickness or disease undermining a saint’s growth or function. Thus, part of perfecting is healing such sickness so that growth may return, function may become adequate, and there may be the rich production of fruit. Perfecting is to help the saints to grow in a definite way and to function adequately and fruitfully.”
