A potted plant or a planted plant?
Last night I told a close friend David Guru that I am slowly finding a spiritual home in SIBKL. I told him that I need a platform to not only develop my spiritual life but also to be used by God.
Psalms 92:12-14
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
This was part of the message today. If we do not plant ourselves in a church and be part of its mission we cannot grow either. We will just be like a plant in a pot. A potted plant is one that will keep hopping from one church to another. A potted plant's potential is limited by the size of the pot. If we are to truly flourish then we must plant ourselves in a wider church group. We truly become owners of the church's vision and devote ourselves to the church like a planted tree.
