A MAN OF DEPTH - Capacity Building Series 006
Matthew 13:5, KJV
"Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:"
If you ignore being a man of depth, you'll become a man of debt or death. You'll always face a penalty for not adhering. I heard a story of a man who wanted to engage in a very big building project. Consulting the best engineers he could find, he partnered with them to build the house of his taste. Further down into the building, they began to experience shortage of fund. The building has taken much due to the cost of materials that kept heightening. Sympathizing with the house owner, the engineers suggested going for a cost friendly materials but lesser in quality to the afore reviewed. The house owner rather refused to sacrifice depth and quality for comfort.
Does this story mirror any moral to us? Build with the best materials possible. Receive the best training ever. Manifest the best that can be offered and give your eyes no rest until same is accomplished.
"...and forthwith they sprung up because they had no deepness of earth."
How long does it take to produce a medical doctor? Compare that to how long it takes producing a quack physician and you'd see that paying attention to depth matters. The quack doctor or nurse apprenticed to some men may begin to perform some procedures and be freed to practice on his own but you'll know he has no depth (proper knowledge of practice) by the many mistakes he'll make. Quack physicians are such who send people to their graves earlier than God plans. Unfortunately, they're preferred because they offer pocket friendly cost.
Be a lover of depth! Always ask, "is this the best material available for this?" If there's a better one, go for it. The difference might be denied by shoddy men but salt proclaims itself to be tasty in every stew. A man of depth goes further than requires of him. He sweeps the floor as if angels would make their beds there. He doesn't build to be seen of men to have quickly appeared but to be praised of God to have endured and lived to godly standards and lawful requirements. Be a man of depth!
PRAYER: Teach me doing it right always. I refuse to sacrifice endurance for pleasure.
