The Right Environment- the transplant lesson

Galatians 6:9
- "A little leaven, leavens the whole lump"

I remembered my transplanting teachings from my agriculture class in high school when i noticed the vegetables i had planted in a particular pot wasn't growing. I had watered it and done all that i could, but this plant was just withering away.

To save it, i decided to transplant this vegetable into another pot whose vegetables were growing well and i watched to see signs of hope in the coming days.      

                                      

So many scriptures in the bible points to the fact that the right environment and the people around you are very important.
1 Corinthians 15:33- "Do not be deceived, evil company corrupts good character"
Proverbs 13:20- "He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed"

I did learn this very important lesson from my transplant lesson because after some days, all the plants in the new pot died- both host plant and transplanted plant... all gone. Which means i transplanted into the wrong environment, hence none of the plants flourished. 

Do you sense you are in the wrong environment? What environment do you need to change today? What steps do you need to take in the right direction?

Think about this and take steps to transplant to the right environment.

Yours in the Walk...

OVERSHADOW

The word overshadow means to tower above or to cast a shadow over .  Its Christmas and it is important to take another look at the Christmas story. I have read this story in the bible so many times, but this year something struck me and that is the word "overshadow". Luke 1:26-38 is an account of Mary's encounter with an angel who told her she would conceive and bear a son, whose name shall be called Jesus and he will be great and will be called Son of The Most High. Mary then asked the question how all this events will take place because she was a virgin and the angel explained in  Luke 1: 35: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you and the power of The Most High will  overshadow  you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God" Now here is my understanding, when there is a purpose to be birth, when God is set to carry out an assignment through one of his own, to carry out HIS assignment and purpose which supersedes every human com...

HEAVENLY PLACES

I have just finished a bible study with the women's group from my church, we studied the book 'Armor of God ' by Priscilia Shirer. It was an interesting study and i had so many things to learn. An important lesson i learned from the bible study is about heavenly places which i am going to be sharing. I found this particular revelation very liberating for me and i pray it will be liberating for you as well. For me, there is something intimidating when the bible verse  Ephesians 6:12  is quoted  "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Scary right? look at all the forces of darkness in one sentence :) I know the next thing people say is "God is one your side" "God is fighting your battles"... But there is an understanding that you need to have, You need to have an understanding...

The Prodigals

I’m sure we’ve heard about one of the popular stories of the Bible- The Prodigal Son. When that story is read or told, there is the tendency to see just the prodigal son; The one who demanded his inheritance prematurely, squandered it all in wild living, and came crawling back in shame. And the part that moves us most is his gracious welcome : a father running toward him, arms wide open, heart already forgiven.. Luke 15:11-32 A few years ago, I heard a new perspective—one that reframed the parable in a powerful way. It was about the Prodigal Father . Inspired by Timothy Keller’s book The Prodigal God , this view suggests another “reckless” person in the story— the father shedding light  on God's reckless Love for us.  . You see, the word prodigal doesn’t mean “rebellious” or “wayward.” It means recklessly extravagant, wastefully lavish. The younger son was prodigal in how he handled his wealth. But the father? He was prodigal in how he gave his love. Lavish. Undeserved. Unc...
