BE WELL ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN GOD'S LOVE 

 By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Ephesians 3:17

[17]That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Colossians 2:7

[7]Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving."

  The place of being well  rooted in the faith is the place of being taught the mysteries of the kingdom, unfortunately most gifted persons loath being under any form of dominion , are impatient and love to dominate and are quick to castigate persons  in leadership .

    To rule over people in a godly manner ,you must learn to be ruled . The bible says in  Jude 1:8 "Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities." Most persons who  quit ministry were not well rooted and this carried away by the deceitfulness of riches . 

    Having spiritual roots as a believer is vital for sustaining a life of faith and growth. In Mark 4:6, Jesus describes how plants with shallow roots wither when the sun rises, illustrating that believers without deep spiritual foundations will struggle when faced with trials. This passage warns us that without being deeply rooted in Christ, we can falter in challenging times.

   In Jude 1:8-12, the apostle highlights how false teachers, like “trees without fruit and uprooted,” can mislead believers who are not firmly grounded in their faith. This reinforces the importance of being spiritually anchored to discern truth and avoid falling into error.

   Apostle Paul’s journey also emphasizes the need for strong spiritual roots. After his miraculous conversion on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:10-18), Paul didn’t immediately begin his ministry. He first spent time being nurtured and mentored by figures like Ananias, Gamaliel, and later, the church elders. His spiritual roots were strengthened through teaching and discipleship, preparing him for his immense mission.

    As believers, being deeply rooted in faith equips us to withstand trials, grow in wisdom, and fulfill our callings effectively, just as Paul did after receiving guidance from his mentors.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome evil manipulations.
