VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. I am a green olive tree in GOD's House
"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God;"
The Green Olive tree in the bible symbolizes CHRISTian believers, the believing house of Israel.
Some characteristics of green olive tree in the bible:
1. We are fimly planted by GOD - ready to bring forth fruit in it's season, we will not fade or wither, everything we do shall prosper
Psalms 1:3 (Amplified Bible)
1:3 And he shall be like a tree firmly planted [and tended] by the streams of water, ready to bring forth its fruit in its season; its leaf also shall not fade or wither; and everything he does shall prosper [and come to maturity].
2. The LORD acknowledges us
Jeremiah 11:16 (Amplified Bible)
11:16 The Lord [acknowledged you once to be worthy to be] called a green olive tree, fair and of good fruit; but with the roar of a great tempest He will set fire to it, and its branches will be consumed.
3. We are planted in the LORD's House, we will flourish in GOD's courts, we will bring forth fruit even in old age, we are growing in grace.
Psalms 92:12-14 (Amplified Bible)
92:12 The [uncompromisingly] righteous shall flourish like the palm tree [be long-lived, stately, upright, useful, and fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic, stable, durable, and incorruptible].
92:13 Planted in the house of the Lord, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
92:14 [Growing in grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality] and [rich in the] verdure [of trust, love, and contentment].
4. We are just grafted into this green olive tree
Romans 11:24 (Amplified Bible)
11:24 For if you have been cut from what is by nature a wild olive tree, and against nature grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much easier will it be to graft these natural [branches] back on [the original parent stock of] their own olive tree.
B. I trust and rely on loving-kindness and mercy of GOD forever and ever
"I trust in and confidently rely on the loving-kindness and the mercy of God forever and ever"
Psalms 13:5 (Amplified Bible)
13:5 But I have trusted, leaned on, and been confident in Your mercy and loving-kindness; my heart shall rejoice and be in high spirits in Your salvation.
This world's health are coming from their food, vitamins and what they drink; but our health and strength comes from obeying the LORD.
Proverbs 3:7-8 (Amplified Bible)
3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes; reverently fear and worship the Lord and turn [entirely] away from evil.
3:8 It shall be health to your nerves and sinews, and marrow and moistening to your bones.
Psalms 33:18 (Amplified Bible)
33:18 Behold, the Lord’s eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and loving-kindness,
On the contrary if you put your trust other than GOD, you are cursed. For example if you put your trust in yourself or in humans.
Jeremiah 17:5 (Amplified Bible)
17:5 Thus says the Lord: Cursed [with great evil] is the strong man who trusts in and relies on frail man, making weak [human] flesh his arm, and whose mind and heart turn aside from the Lord.
Illustration:
I know a certain woman who's a ministry head in a church but her husband is not attending any worship services, the wife trusted GOD to provide and liberally supply all their needs according to the riches of glory in CHRIST JESUS, but the husband trusted his work and his boss to provide for them, so when it comes to church time (Sunday worship services) the boss and the work gets the priority and not the church.
Psalms 147:11 (Amplified Bible)
147:11 The Lord takes pleasure in those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy and loving-kindness.
Psalms 145:20 (Amplified Bible)
145:20 The Lord preserves all those who love Him, but all the wicked will He destroy.
Illustration:
When I was in men's fellowship (so-called), the men are discussing that fathers are the provider of the family, I was not asked my opinion so I kept my mouth shut, but in my heart, I said, "fathers are not the providers but my bible says, GOD is the Provider." (JEHOVAH JIREH)
Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)
4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Genesis 22:14 (Amplified Bible)
22:14 So Abraham called the name of that place The Lord Will Provide. And it is said to this day, On the mount of the Lord it will be provided.
Don't trust your job, your work, your wife, your husband, your parents, your friends, your career or even your human father to provide for you, trust only GOD. When your work or job conflicts with the schedule of worship services especially the Sunday Worship Service, negotiate with your boss a better schedule with no Saturday (for workers) and Sunday work, quit your job and look for a job that complements your worship services.
Illustration:
There's a pastor who once said "rely on GOD on big things, but on little things do it yourself." But the bible say "trust GOD for everything."
Proverbs 3:6 (Amplified Bible)
3:6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Luke 24:25 (Amplified Bible)
24:25 And [Jesus] said to them, O foolish ones [sluggish in mind, dull of perception] and slow of heart to believe (adhere to and trust in and rely on) everything that the prophets have spoken!
These type of pastors are the ones laughed at by GOD.
Psalms 52:7 (Amplified Bible)
52:7 See, this is the man who made not God his strength (his stronghold and high tower) but trusted in and confidently relied on the abundance of his riches, seeking refuge and security for himself through his wickedness.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You have chosen me to be included in the people that You have saved and redeemed, I only trust and depend on You for everything forever and ever.
