(“What Kind Of Tree Or You ")

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
