Pupa:
When the caterpillar is full grown and stops eating, it becomes a pupa. The pupa of butterflies is also called a chrysalis.
Depending on the species, the pupa may suspend under a branch, hidden in leaves or buried underground. The pupa of many moths is protected inside a cocoon of silk.
This stage can last from a few weeks, a month or even longer. Some species have a pupa stage that lasts for two years.
It may look like nothing is going on but big changes are happening inside. Special cells that were present in the larva are now growing rapidly. They will become the legs, wings, eyes and other parts of the adult butterfly. Many of the original larva cells will provide energy for these growing adult cells.
The Transition stage:
This is a stage where many believers become stuck or stale. A place where we may have been for weeks, months ,or even years. Some of us never even come out of this stage. Many of us have throughout the years; have fed so much on the Word (grown up in church or regular church goer) that we've become bloated with the truth. What I mean is, we have so much so called knowledge of God but yet no evidence that He is evident. James 2: 17 (AMP)So also faith, if it does not have works (deeds and actions of obedience to back it up), by itself is destitute of power (inoperative, dead). James 2: 26 For as the human body apart from the spirit is lifeless, so faith apart from [its] works of obedience is also dead.
I feel the Holy Spirit moving on this message for the fact that the message is speaking directly to someone’s situation. You may feel something stirring inside you saying it’s not enough for me just say I’m a Christian and I love God. It’s time for me to do more for Christ. It’s time for me to step outside of my comfortable cocoon and do the work He has called me to do.
Grab and go: “The cocoon stage can last from a few weeks, a month or even longer. Some species have a pupa stage that lasts for two years”. How long will you remain inside your cocoon? Comfortable in transition, but never transiting. You have a purpose, and if you are not being used for your purpose what are you doing? Matthew 5:13-16
Don’t let the enemy fool you to think that you have everything you need inside this cocoon, so why should you leave. God wants to use you. He wants you to spread your wings and fly. But that will never happen if you remain inside your own little shell, your pupa stage.
