Psalm 92:13 Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
This is all about sowing and reaping. How important it is to sow righteousness in a life. Be firmly planted in church, around Gods saints, witnessing Gods wonderful testimonies, will only make a life flourish. His word doesnt return void or empty. His word is powerful in bringing a life to the place of flourishing.
1 Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. Paul came to them in word & pow
1 Thessalonians 1:7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe. Paul, you mean this church that only had 3 weeks of formal training, that was heavily entrenched in idolatry
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, I choose to follow Jesus. The Lord opens eyes and hearts!
