I peter 2:2 says desire the sincere milk of the Word that you may grow thereby. Paying special attention to this will make you see the key to growing up spiritually. The Word of God is the tool for spiritual growth. Even praying and praying right requires the Word. I John 5:14 says "And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us." The Word of God is the will of God. So even praying requires a knowledge of the Word. Also, in the book of Acts, apostle Paul was about to leave his Ephessian disciples and what did he tell them, he told them
“Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritanceamong all those who are sanctified"(20:32NIV). He didn't say or did anything else but committing them to the Word. He was trying to tell them that the Word of God is the tool for their becoming built!
Friend, know this for sure that when you spend time in the Word, studying and meditating on it, you'll grow spiritually and you experience a rich fellowship with the Lord through prayers because you have known His will through the studying of His Word. This is the key to growing up spiritually.

HOW TO BE AN ACHIEVER
In Physics, it’s common to carry out an experiment with a converging lens where the lens is held under the sun and a sheet of paper is placed a few distance away from the lens. If that set up is left for some time, the paper soon gets burnt or is set ablaze. Now what happens is, the rays of the sun are brought to focus by the converging lens on the sheet of paper. The heat generated by the sun’s rays on that spot becomes so much for the paper that it gets burnt. In life, becoming an achiever also follows the same principle: the principle of focus.
You see, all of the sun’s energy was brought to focus on one spot on that paper and when that happened the paper got burnt. (Think about it) So also, when you learn to focus all your mental and physical energy on one task at a time, what happens to that task is that it gets done and you become an achiever. Even our Lord Jesus laid out this principle when He said:
‘The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light’ (Matt 6:22).
Whatever gets to your brain must first pass through your eyes (or any of the other senses). So if you focus on a thing at a time, you’ll achieve it and you keep doing this(doing one at a time) till all the tasks are completed. This underlies the principle of focus. When this principle is applied in everyday life and whatever you do, you’ll become an achiever and your success story will become so outstanding.
Here is the key: focus on and do one task at a time, completing it before moving to the next. Combining more than one task at a time will do at least wo things for you: one, it’ll make you disorganized, both in your mind and work and two, every task will be uncompleted and left that way for a long time. Of course one can't achieve if this be the case.
Always remember the man focusing on, trying to jump in on and catch two Rabbits at a time; he will end up catching none. So friend get wisdom, it’s a simple principle of life, which when applied will make you an achiever.
