Childlessness
Genesis 15:2 And Abram said, Lord GOD, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus?
There's a common malady Christians face, that is childlessness. Childlessness means they have no fruit of their Christianity. Now no one is where they are supposed to be but at least some are somewhere while others are really not yet there are not anywhere at all.
There are a number of believers who have all the potential to give birth to spiritual children but aren't. They may have all the sermons, audio bibles, physical bibles but they are of no use in the kingdom.
Others simply cross their hands and watch from the sidelines, some are just lazy to do anything for God and yet they are lively in other pursuits. When they go for games, movies they are very audible but call a prayer meeting or bible study, they don't have anything to say or contribute.
Something must change about you after years of listening to God's word for a certain period. The taught one ought to become a teacher after a few years of being ministered to.
After one year in salvation, a believer ought to start volunteering to serve in the local church, after two years they should endeavour to evangelise and teach or be involved in starting a family and at three years should start their own family, by the fourth year help others plant a church and on the fifth year plant their own. As the years go by they should mentor others to plant their own churches.
There's a growth curve expected of every believer, knowing this will enable you work towards it and breakaway from childlessness.
