*Topic: Be deeply rooted*
Scripture: Matthew 13:5-6*
[5]Other seeds fell on shallow soil with underlying rock. The seeds sprouted quickly because the soil was shallow.
[6]But the plants soon wilted under the hot sun, and since they didn’t have deep roots, they died.
*MESSAGE FOR THE DAY: premature exposure will lead to destruction. It is not how quick that matters but how efficient.* Our text says some seeds fell on shallow soil and sprouted quickly but when the sun came, they died because they had no deep root. Some things are easier to attain than sustain, until you learn the wisdom of sustenance, don't run away with what you've attained. Impatience is one of the greatest disease plaguing today's society, everyone wants to skip the process.* Beloved, *those who must stand tall must first grow deep into the earth.* Every tall tree has deep roots. *It is the strength of the root that determines the height the tree can get to.* If you jump up, you will come down but if you grow up, you will stay up. Any level you hurriedly enter will vomit you sooner than expected. *Focus on building strong roots. Don't be pressured to skip the process.*
That others have arrived doesn't mean you're late. Refuse to be pressured into eating your seed because others are eating their harvest.* Be deeply rooted. You're learning a skill, learn it thoroughly. Many of us now graduate ourselves even when we've not learnt everything needed. The best way to launch out farther is to pull yourself back more. Don't be in a hurry to be in the spotlight, if you're not reigning, before training.* The secret to speed is waiting, staying and growing. Elijah waited for the hand of God and still outran those he sent ahead. *Therefore, spend more time praying and learning to build capacity. Don't let opportunity meet you without capacity.* The seed met the opportunity to grow but it had no dept in its root and it grew faster only to wither faster as well. *
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW;
being well is better than looking well, being rich is better than looking rich. Avoid unnecessary pressure to impress men and grow, focus on your roots, it doesn't have to be beautiful but it has to be strong. Beautiful foundations don't make strong building, only strong foundations do!*
Prayer:
Father, thank you for grace. Hide us away from distractions of pleasure and pressure that we may invest in the right things and become great people for kingdom advancement in Jesus precious Name
