GROW WHERE YOU'RE
(Mark 4 :26-31)
With two parables of the
scattered seed and the mustard seed the Lord Jesus tells us about the kingdom
of God; how it begins, grows and becomes a place of refuge.
We too are kingdom seeds
scattered in the world. We may not know. God is doing a lot of great works in
us. Without our knowledge in our mother's wombs, the Lord took care of us. We
came into being, we started maturing. We think it is ordinary. There is
something extraordinary about our growth. We are growing into something
spiritual. We are maturing into divine greatness.
Do you know that it is not
careless that you're where you're? That is your soil of growth. It may seem to
be a nursery bed, there too is your place of blossoming. Grow from there.
Discover the nutrients the Lord has deposited there for your spiritual and
holistic development.
You may be thinking that you're
just scattered. In the sight of God, you're never scattered. You're kept where
you will see the ladder to heaven. From where you are, God wants you to make
heaven. You don't need to leave that your husband to make heaven. You may not
need to leave Nigeria to make heaven. You may not need to leave that school
campus to make heaven. All you need do is to be determined to surprise the
world.
The kingdom of God surprises the
world a lot. People of the Kingdom are causes of wonder to people of the world.
They will wonder how the mustard in you became the giant. They will wonder how
you changed from the old you to the new you. They will wonder how you're moving
from nothingness to something great. They will marvel at how that your family
they have written off is suddenly attracting the blessings of God. This is what
happens when we live our lives looking up to the heavens from where our help
comes. Just as the sun do a lot of good to the plant, that is how God from
heaven is determined to bring you to his kingdom. Make yourself available for
Him. Grow where you're.
The Lord wants to harvest
something better from you. The Lord wants the best from you. The Lord wants the
best for your family. He wants the best for your soul. May you grow to the full
stature of perfection God desires for you.
LET US PRAY
Oh God, I am determined this day
to grow from where you have planted me. Help me to mature and qualify for the
kingdom you have destined for me. No matter where life has scattered me, help
me to gather myself together in You. May my little efforts just like the
mustard seed bear abundant fruits of heavenly blessings through Christ our
Lord. Amen
God bless your Friday (Week 3,
Ordinary Time, Yr B)
