Kingdom Secrets II

Secret 02: When You Rush and don’t Build a Solid Foundation, what is Destined to Help You will rather Destroy You.‭‭

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭13:6‬ ‭CSB‬‬
“But when the sun came up, it was scorched, and since it had no root, it withered away.”

Of all the things God created, trees are the only living things that don’t rely on other living things for food. Check the food chain. They produce their own food. Photosynthesis. Photo means light. Synthesis means building up. They essentially produce food using the elements; of light and water. However, any tree without a root will be scorched by the very sun meant to help it to be productive. The rains will even come and wash such a plant away. This is not a mystery.

Without a firm foundation, things meant to help you will rather destroy you. This is why, although the Israelites could have spent 40 days on their way to the Promised Land, they rather spent 40 years. It is yours but it won’t be given to you until you are prepared. Jesus said He won’t cast pearls before swine nor will He give what is holy to dogs (John 7:6). If you are not firm in humility, some breakthroughs will destroy you. You will become very proud. That’s why there are waiting seasons; so that patience teaches you humility.

The Bible says God will not let us be tempted higher than we can manage (1 Corinthians 10:13). People don’t like to hear this but it includes He shutting some good doors too. He is a very efficient God and will not waste resources by giving it to people who can’t steward it. That is why He gives according to each one’s abilities (Matt 25:15; Romans 12:6).

It’s not that the enemy has closed that door. That door is closed because you are being prepared for the appointed time it will be opened. A blessing becomes a curse in the hands of the unprepared. The prerequisite of sustaining a blessing is a solid foundation; a preparation. Galatians 4 says it this way; “‭‭…as long as the heir is a child, he differs in no way from a slave, though he is the owner of everything. Instead, he is under guardians and trustees until the time set by his Father.”
