Good -Life Devotional: BE DEEPLY ROOTED AND WELL-GROUNDED IN CHRIST

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

   To live a victorious and purposeful Christian life, believers must be deeply rooted and well-grounded in Christ. This principle is beautifully highlighted in Ephesians 3:17, which says, "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love..." (AMP). Being rooted in Christ means establishing a firm foundation of faith that remains unshaken, no matter the storms of life.

Colossians 2:7 further elaborates, "having been deeply rooted [in Him] and now being continually built up in Him and [becoming increasingly more] established in your faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing in it with gratitude." As trees draw strength and nourishment from their roots, Christians must draw spiritual strength from Christ through prayer, studying the Word, and consistent fellowship with Him.

Psalm 1:3 compares the righteous to a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in its season and prospering in all it does. To be established, we must anchor ourselves in God’s truth and His love, allowing Him to guide every aspect of our lives.

When we are rooted in Christ, our lives reflect stability, fruitfulness, and resilience. We can face trials, knowing that our foundation is secure in Him. As Jesus said in John 15:5, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing."

Let us daily seek to deepen our roots in Christ and be unwavering in faith, reflecting His love and glory to the world.

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 be fruitful.
