Topic: Well Grounded? [Thursday 14, September 2017]
Memorise: “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,” – Ephesians 3:17
Read: Matthew 13:3-9
3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow;
4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up:
5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:
8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.
9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

MESSAGE:
Stability is the ability of being in a firm or unwavering situation, whether spiritually, physically, or emotionally. Stability is an important element of a settled life before God. God is very stable and dependable; you can completely rest in His love, this is why Hebrews 13:8 says:
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”
Stability is required in order to resist and repel spiritual assault by the enemy, it depends upon firmness of faith, and it is a very important aim of the Christian ministry. An unstable Christian is a baby in the Lord who is yet to find his proper footing. Whenever they are exposed to the misbehavior of other Christians, especially those considered as more matured than they are, it shakes them to the foundation of their belief. Are you well grounded in the faith? Are you stable and dependable? Are you settled in your mind about important doctrines of the Bible? Or are you a confused person that is not very sure of what you believe? I pray that God will establish you and plant your feet on the Rock of Ages forever in Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point: Father, please make me immovable, plant my feet on the Rock forever in Jesus’ Name.
