ISBN: 9798184413709 - planted to flourish: why god roots his people in one house — and how staying makes you fruitful (6 risultati)

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - >This is a book about staying. It is about the deep, hidden, unglamorous work that God does in the life of the believer who sinks roots into one spiritual home and refuses to be uprooted. Tracing the theme of planting from Genesis to Revelation, Adama Segbedji shows that your place in a spiritual house is not an accident of geography or convenience, but the deliberate act of a wise Gardener who knows exactly what He intends to grow. Across twenty-eight scripture-saturated chapters, this book confronts head-on the very forces that drive people from one house to another. It closes, one by one, the plausible exit doors the restless heart keeps open - 'I am not being fed,' 'I have been offended,' 'the leadership is imperfect,' 'I have outgrown this place,' 'God is leading me elsewhere,' 'the style no longer suits me' - and shows what lies behind each. It counts the real and compounding cost of church-hopping: stunted growth, shallow and broken roots, unhealed offences carried forward, lost covering and exposure to deception, forfeited inheritance, and the harm done to one's own household. And it teaches the seasons every house must pass through - first love, testing, wilderness, transition, building, harvest, and renewal - so that no believer abandons his house for merely passing through a season that was always going to come. The book deals honestly, too, with the genuine and rare exceptions in which leaving is right, gathering them into a clear and closely tested list, so that no conscience is bound where God has not bound it - and none is deceived into dressing a restless itch in the language of a true exception. A full chapter answers the hard questions of our restless age: consumer Christianity, online and virtual church, celebrity-preacher culture, the offence culture, the mobility of modern life, the comparison bred by social media, and the spirit of division that fuels church splits. But Planted to Flourish is not only about remaining; it is about flourishing. You will discover the watering of the Word and the Spirit without which no planting bears fruit, the wisdom of seasons that steadies the soul through barren stretches, the power of a spiritual family that only years can build, and the crowning promise that the planted shall still bear fruit in old age - fresh and flourishing to the very end. If you have ever been tempted to leave, if you have grown weary in the place where God set you, or if you long to bear lasting fruit rather than living in a perpetual state of transplant and recovery, this book is for you. You were planted to flourish. May you have the grace to remain planted - and so to flourish - all the days of your life, in the house and in the courts of our God.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. We live in an age that prizes movement above rootedness. Believers drift from one congregation to another in search of a better atmosphere, a newer sound, a more gifted preacher, a warmer welcome - and wonder, years later, why they have never truly flourished. Planted to Flourish answers that restlessness with a single, settled truth drawn from the ninety-second Psalm: those who are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
