Psalm 92verse12-14 ‘V12-The righteous shall flow like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. V13-Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. V14-They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing.’

God has not kept you in the dark as he wants you to flourish. He has the picture or portrait of what your flourishing should look like. And today, our focus will be centered on how we ought to flourish. Yes, you are not supposed to just flourish anyhow but according to God’s pattern and order. And if you look at our text scripture (Ps92v12-14) you can see clearly how God wants you to flourish. As you take this journey with me, may your flourishing be evident and undeniable in Jesus name, amen.
HOW YOU WILL FLOURISH:

1. You are to flourish like the Palm Tree. Yes, this is how God wants you to flourish. Do you know how a Palm Tree flourishes? If you do, then you will be in a better position to know how you ought to flourish. This is why I will be sharing with you some interesting qualities about the palm tree today. As we go through these attributes, it will help us to know how we ought to flourish. So what are the peculiar qualities of a Palm Tree?

i. It grows upright. It has no branches and some palms grow up to a 100feet in height. This is how you too ought to grow i.e. growth without limits.

ii. It is one of the richest trees on the earth because no part of it is wasted; every part can be converted into monetary gain. How does this apply to you? It simply means you ought to be useful and highly resourceful. No part of your life should be a waste.

iii. It is not affected by drought. It’s not affected by any weather unless you cut it down. Seasons will come and go, but you are supposed to flourish like this too. Your flourishing should not be affected by the circumstances of life. Glory be to God! I believe you see yourself flourishing according to this order.

iv. It’s evergreen. This means that your flourishing should be all year round! This is how God expects you to blossom.

v. It is a beautiful tree. This is how you, too, ought to flourish i.e., radiating His Glory and beauty! lev23v40

vi. It has a long life span. Some Palm Trees can live for more than a century! So as a palm tree believer, your life should not be cut short in your prime.

vii. Its very fruitful and its fruits are sweet. The palm tree has the capacity to bear many fruits and in fact, it continues to bear fruit in old age. So my dear reader, what this means is that the longer you live, the more fruitful you ought to be. Therefore you cannot be barren or sterile because the covenant of fruitfulness is your heritage! Ps92v14

Precious Child of God, this is how you ought to flourish and may this be Your Experience in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
