READ: Mark 4:1-20
And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, BECAUSE THEY HAD NO DEEPNESS OF EARTH: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Matthew 13:3-6
Fruitfulness is a product of your depth. In the parable of the Sower, Jesus made it clear that unless the seed went deep, it would not bear fruit. Fruitfulness depends on going deeper. You must go deeper by having deep roots. As a tree, your roots must go deeper and get to the right depth. There are many things that do not grow until they go deeper.
You are a tree planted by the rivers of living water. You are the tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord. As a tree, your roots must go deeper and get to the right depth.
As a tree of righteousness, it is time to go deeper so that you can do more and bear more fruit. It is not enough to be born again. You must go deeper and get to know the Lord.
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; THAT THEY MIGHT BE CALLED TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:3
Giving yourself wholly is the same as going deeper. Go deeper by giving yourself wholly. Paul advised Timothy to give himself wholly to the ministry. Without giving himself wholly to the ministry, Timothy would not experience the fruitfulness that he wanted to see.
Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all.
1 Timothy 4:15
