Planted to FLOURISH.

Text: Psalms 92:12-13 (KJV)

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Have you ever noticed the refreshing growth of trees planted by the riverside? These trees never experience drought in all seasons.  Psalm1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The palm trees and cedar trees are resistant to waves because of how they are made up, as their germination season is not like other crops. This composition makes their roots to be deep, so that they can have direct access to water. The same goes for us as believers. How deep are you planted to have continuous access to the flourishing fountain? We need to get deeply rooted and nourished in Christ, as a Christ-like lifestyle. It has a winning disposition, and it attracts the sweetness of Jesus to always flourish in all seasons even now. But for us to experience this flourishing adventure, we need to have a conducive, place for planting. No seed can truly germinate if it is not planted in the right soil. Some environments can cause stunted growth, while some can make your seeds flourish if planted in the court of the Lord.   So, stay planted in His courts in Jesus name.

Interestingly, bible promises are for the righteous, but the wicked are like the worthless chaff which the wind blows away. Remember, the righteousness of Jesus Christ is imputed in us as we are now walking in the newness of life. Proverbs 11:28- He that trusteth in his riches shall fall: but the righteous shall flourish as a branch. We should develop a habit of living a healthy lifestyle, an upright and useful life no matter your level and age today. The amazing part is that these trees have strength and endurance no matter the harsh weather because they are versatile and also durable. They remain vital and relevant at old age because they are in constant growth and are nourished in the Lord to grow like lilies and olive trees with fragrances all around. Remember, we are still valuable as we deeply planted in His word to flourish in Jesus name. 

PRAYER POINTS: 

1.Oh Lord, please help us to delight on your promises as to flourish where Jesus is the gardener, in Jesus name.

2. Father, may I continue to get nourished spirit, soul and body as I eat the word in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, we are nourished day after day as we are planted by the riverside.
