This "Daily Maintenance" is essential for all believers, not just beginners in hopes of becoming a new creature fashioned by the Holy Spirit.  
The proof is in what John was told to tell the church of Ephesus:    
    "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are
    apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and
    have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you
    have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place unless you
    repent. But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
    says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.''  
    NKJ Revelation 2:2-7
The Nicolaitans were the early Gentile syncretists, who felt they could build communities of believers with the mortar of compromise or political
correctness.  These were the false teachers that crept into the church, who disguised themselves as followers of Christ – who professed to be His
ministers and servants – but who led the people astray.  

Our prayer is to become "Overcomers" through the power of the Holy Spirit.  The "Overcomer's Series" is a gem written by Tyson S.
