CHAPTER 1

THE BABY ADULTS

There is an unhealthy phenomenon in the modern day. The majority of believers, today, have simply refused to grow up. Instead of living as adult believers, they have remained babyish their comportment and behaviour. In the physical world, there is a clear demarcation between an adult and a baby.

A baby is characterized by immaturity, childish traits pettiness, foolishness and all forms of childlike attitude and behaviour which reveal the fact that he or she is still at the infant stage of life. Not much is expected from a baby. Hence babies are tolerated, pampered, spoon-fed and handled with care. It is tolerable for babies to misbehave. Nobody expects adult behaviour from children or babies.

On the other hand, adults are miles apart from children as far as their attitudes and behavioural patterns are concerned. Adults are generally expected to be mature, wise, responsible, hard working, intelligent and able to handle practical life situations.

Adults are full grown human beings who are expected to demonstrate skill, mastery and excellence in every department of their lives. Therefore, when an adult behaves like a baby, everyone expresses surprise. It absurd for an adult to behave like a baby.

The society expects an adult to behave like an adult and a baby to behave like one. People are always quick to cry foul when they discover that adults are departing from their expected modes of behaviour and taking up the character and nature of babies. If this happens in the physical realm, then we should know that it can also exist in the spiritual realm.
