PSALMS 1: 3 HE IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY STREAMS OF WATER ,WHICH YIELDS IT`S FRUIT IN SEASON AND
WHOSE LEAF DOES NOT WITHER .WHAT EVER HE DOES HE PROSPERS
VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO REASON WITH YOU ON THE THOUGHT
(“WHAT KIND OF TREE OR YOU “)
WHY DON`T YOU LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR –AND SAY NEIGHBOR WHAT KIND OF TREE OR YOU
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE BOOK OF PSALMS –WHICH MEANS PRAISE WAS MOSTLY BUT NOT ENTIRELY WRITTEN BY KING DAVID
BUT I WANTED US TO HAVE A TALK WITH KING DAVID
THIS MORNING /EVENING ---- BECAUSE KING DAVID CAN SHARE WITH US SOME SPIRITUAL THEOLOGY ABOUT A
TREE
YOU SEE A TREE IS MADE UP OF 4 KEY COMPONENTS
1)ROOTS
2)BRANCHES
3)LEAVES
4)BARK
AND THE REASON I WANT TO TALK TO KING DAVID ABOUT THE TREE
IS BECAUSE GOD WILL NEVER PLANT YOU IN A PLACE WHERE YOU WILL NOT GROW
AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE YOUR LACK OF GROWTH BRINGS NO GLORY TO GOD
AND YOU DO KNOW PRAISE ,WORSHIP ,HEALING AND DELIVERANCE ALL WORK TOGETHER
BECAUSE WITHOUT PRAISE AND WORSHIP --THERE IS NO HEALING AND DELIVERANCE
AND I WONDER IF THERE ANYBODY HERE THIS MORNING /EVENING KNOWS THAT YOUR BREAKTHROUGH IS IN
YOUR PRAISE
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
1- ROOTS – THE ROOT OF A TREE MUST BE PLANTED IN THE RIGHT SOIL TEMPERATURE
AND A ROOT WILL ATTACH ITSELF TO ANYTHING THAT IS IN THERE GROWING PATH
WEATHER IT BE SIDEWALKS , PIPES .OR WHATEVER
BUT THRU OBSERVATION I DISCOVERED THAT A LOT OF US IN THE BODY OF CHRIST OR DOING THE SAME
THING
AND WE HAVE FOUND OURSELVES IN THE WRONG KIND OF SOIL THAT HINDERS OUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH
A SOIL CALL BAD ATTIDUDE
A SOIL CALL ANNIE MAE`S
A SOIL CALL LAZY AND SLOTHFUL
AND THESE TYPES OF SOILS AND MANY MORE HINDERS OUR GROWTH IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
AND WE FIND OURSELVES LIVING BENEATH GOD`S PLAN AND PURPOSE FOR OUR LIVES
**********************************************
WELL THE 2ND COMPONENT I WANT TO LIFT UP IS THE BRANCHES
BECAUSE BRANCHES ARE UNIQUE IN DESIGNS AND NO 2 BRANCHES ARE ALIKE
BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN SIZE ,SHAPE ,COLOR AND WIDTH
AND EVEN THOU THEY ARE DIFFERENT ONE THING REMAINS THE SAME THEY ALL ARE BRANCHES
AND THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER ---AND IF THEY WANT TO CONTINUE TO GROW THEY ALL HAVE TO STAY
CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE WHICH IS THE TREE
AND WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WE`RE WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD DON`T WANT TO WORK TOGETHER
WE SPEND MORE TIME TEARING EACH OTHER DOWN THAN BUILDING EACH OTHER UP
AND MAYBE IT`S BECAUSE WE ARE CONNECTED TO A SOURCE BUT NOT THE RIGHT SOURCE
BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED TO GOD
YOU KNOW HOW TO BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS AND FULFILL THE LAWS OF CHRIST
YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO BE YOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS KEEPER
(GIVE YOUR NEIGHBOR A HIGH FIVE AND TELL `EM CHECK YOURSELF BEFORE YOU WRECK YOURSELF AND
STAY (CONNECTED)
JOHN 15 :5
JESUS SAID I AM THE VINE YE ARE THE BRANCHES HE THAT ABIDETH IN ME AND I IN HIM THE SAME
BRINGETH FORTH MUCH FRUIT FOR WITHOUT ME YE CAN DO NOTHING
WELL THE 3RD COMPONENT I WANT TO LIFT UP IS THE LEAVES
BECAUSE LEAVES COME AND GO ACCORDING TO THE SEASON
THEY EVEN DIFFER IN COLOR ACCORDING TO THE SEASON
AND WHEN LEAVES FALL THEY FERTILIZE GROUND ON TOP OF THE ROOT – THEREFORE LEAVES ARE FERTILIZER
AND A BLESSING FROM GOD
AND I WONDER IF THERES ANY BODY HEAR UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE EVER RECEIVED
A ---GOD DID IT BLESSING
THAT WHY THE SONG WRITER SAID EVERYTIME I TURN AROUND HE KEEP MAKING AWAY SOME HOW ---OVER
AND OVER AGAIN HE KEEP BLESSING ME
WELL THE 4TH COMPONENT OF A TREE IS THE BARK AND THE WORD BARK IS PLURAL WHICH MEANS MORE
THAN ITSELF
BECAUSE THE BARK OF A TREE IS DEPENDENT ON THE TREE
THE BARK CANNOT NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT THE TREE
JUST LIKE WE CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT GOD AS OUR COVERING AND PROTECTION
YOU SEE THAT HOW EZEKIEL KNEW HIM AS A WHEEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A WHEEL
THAT’S HOW SOLOMON KNEW HIM AS THE ROSE OF SHARON AND THE LILY OF THE VALLEY
AND I HEAR DAVID SAYING HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER
