MORNING SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS MEDITATIONS (MSBM)
THEME : YOU'RE NOT BEING BURIED. YOU'RE BEING PLANTED: DON'T LOSE HOPE.
TEXT: John 12:24.
“Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.”
Dear friends in Christ Jesus good morning blessings and win today. Sometimes it feels like life has put you in the ground.
The pressure, the silence, the waiting, the pain... it feels like burial. But hear God: You’re not being buried. You’re being planted. There’s a big difference. Burial is to end you. Planting is to multiply you.
FOUR TRUTHS WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE IN THE GROUND.
1. EVERY SEED HAS TO GO THROUGH DARKNESS BEFORE IT SEES LIGHT.
A seed doesn’t grow on the surface. It has to be covered, pressed, and hidden for a while. That’s where you are. The process feels slow. It feels painful. But God is not punishing you but He’s positioning you.
Scripture:
“Consider it pure joy... because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete.” James 1:2-4
“For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.” 2 Corinthians 4:17.
God is working behind the scenes. Roots grow first, where no one can see.
2. GOD DOES NOT FAIL WHAT HE PLANTS.
If God put you here, He will finish what He started.
Scripture:
“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6.
“The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever do not abandon the works of your hands.” *Psalm 138:8.
You are His work. He doesn’t plant and walk away. He waters, He watches, He waits with you.
3. REFUSE DISCOURAGEMENT — YOUR TIMING IS NOT GOD'S TIMING.
Seeds don’t rush. If you dig it up every week to “check” it, you kill it. Stop comparing your season to someone else’s harvest. God is growing something too big and too loud to ignore. in you.
Scripture:
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”.Galatians 6:9.
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time... Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come.” Habakkuk 2:3.
Your outcome will speak. People will ask: “How did you grow through that?”. Your appointed time is around and no matter how it tarries it will come. Don’t rush it. God is on it and over it.
4. WHAT LOOKS LIKE AN END IS ACTUALLY A BEGINNING.
Joseph was thrown in a pit — planted for a palace.
David was in the wilderness — planted for a throne.
Jesus was in a tomb for 3 days — planted for a resurrection that changed the world.
Scripture:
“They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.” Psalm 92:13.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord... They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.”. Jeremiah 17:7-8.
You’re not stuck. You’re rooted. And rooted trees don’t fall in every storm.
TO THE ONE WHO FEELS DOWNCAST TODAY.
1. Don’t lose faith. The ground is not your grave. It’s your greenhouse.
2. Don’t give up. God is watching. Angels are assigned. Heaven is working.
3. Hold on. The process is slow because the result is going to be great. Small seeds become big trees.
The same God who told the seed to break open will tell you to break forth.
TODAY'S WORD OF FAITH: DECLARE IT BY STRONG FAITH.
I refuse to be discouraged.
I am not buried, I am planted.
God has not failed me and He will not fail me now.
What is happening in secret will be revealed in glory.
My outcome will be too big and too loud to hide.
I trust God with the process, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Amen and Amen.
Encouragement:
Keep watering yourself with the Word. Keep worshipping. Keep praying in the dark.
Isaiah 61:3 says God will give you “a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of His splendor.”.
You’re a planting of the Lord. And plantings of the Lord always display His splendor.
