In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. Isaiah 27:6
Amen! What a beautiful promise here this morning!
Though the contest of this prophecy by Prophet Isaish was for the nation of Israel, we as believers, as God's chosen generation, His royal priesthood, can rightfully claim it as our promise too. Praise the Lord!
Let's repeat it once more: In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit. Amen! Let it be so!
If you pay close attention you can't miss the condition this promise is based upon - taking root!
What does it mean to be taking root?
In the Gospel of John Apostle John writes of Jesus's saying: “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:4-5
In the parable of the sower that Jesus shared, we read about the seeds that fell on the rocky ground that could not grow roots due to shallow soil. (Matthew 13:5,6)
Further down in the same chapter when Jesus explains the parable, He says,
"The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away." Matthew 13:20,21
So, taking root means not falling away in faith. It means standing firm in faith even through trouble or persecution. It means abiding in Him.
When we abide, we will bud and blossom and bear much fruit. Amen!
