Be rooted in the Lord

"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers." Psalm 1:1-3

The secret of success is by avoiding being around wicked people. I know you are asking me how you can avoid people if they are your family members or friends. What the bible is saying is for the sake of family or friends you cannot entertain sin or approve sin .Whenever you see that you are not able to fit in a certain group of people you rather excuse yourself for the sake of your soul.

The bible is encouraging a deeper relationship with God. That is when you will you will be like a tree planted by the rivers. It will not be surprising to see such a tree in October with green leaves; you will obviously know that it's because of its positioning. So your positioning does matter very much. Be rooted in God. When God blesses a man there is no sorrow that is added to that. You will bear fruit in season, infact in God every season is your season because seasons are designed by Him so why can't you bear fruit all round when you are in Him. When you bear fruit you will not stop. When you buy a car it's not for you to be involved in an accident and then go back to footron again. When you get a job it's not your portion to be demoted, retrenched but to go up the ladder. May that happen to you in Jesus name!

"The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it." Proverbs 10:22

Jesus says in John 15:4-5 "Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." Apart from Jesus there is nothing we can do. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. If you are in Jesus you will not be afraid of any obstacle. For God did not give us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and a sound mind.
