I AM a Good Tree and I Bring Forth Good Fruit (Matthew 12:3)

I AM a good tree, and I bring forth good fruit. I was created that way. When God made everything, He spoke over the creation and said it was good. When He got to human beings, He said not only were we good, but we were very good.

Affirm with me today: I AM a good tree because I was created that way. It doesn’t matter what anybody else says; I was created good. God said I was very good.  Good is the essence of who I AM. Because I AM a good tree, not only was I created that way, but I also continue in that way. My good is a continuation of how I was created. Because I AM a good tree and I was created that way, my way of being is good.

The energy and aura that come from me that exudes from me are good because I AM a good tree. How I see people, places, and things is good because I AM a good tree. I can’t help but see the good in God and people because I was created that way, so I continue that way. My way of thinking is good. I think the best, the highest, and the best for every person and in every situation because I AM continuing the good that I was created with.

I AM a good tree, so I think good thoughts. I let go of negative thoughts because I AM a good tree. I AM going to think good thoughts whenever things appear. “Whatever things are lovely, whatever things are honest, whatever things are of a good report,” that’s what I AM thinking about because I AM a good tree. Are you a good tree today? Can you say that your intentions are really good towards people, that you are a good tree, so you bring forth good fruit?

The words that I speak out of my mouth are good. I AM always building people up and not tearing people down because I AM a good tree, so I speak good words. I speak the positive, and even when it doesn’t look good, I speak those things that are not as though they were until they are because it is not about the situations around me. I AM a good tree, so I bring forth good fruit. Jesus said a corrupt tree brings forth corrupt fruit, so let those things with your good come out of your mouth for edifying.

 Let no corrupt communication come out of your mouth because I AM a good tree. Because I AM a good tree, I do good works. Let your light so shine before people that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven. I AM a good tree; I do good works. May the works I have done speak of me. I do good even when people don’t do good to me.

I do good because I AM a good tree. You can’t pull me out of my character; you can’t make me a corrupt tree; you can’t make me evil because I AM a good tree. So even when people speak evil of me, I speak well of them. When people do evil to me, I do good to them. Whatever they do, it doesn’t matter; they only reflect the tree they are. But because I AM a good tree, I will do good. I don’t try to get revenge and get back at people or try to tear people down. I AM too good for that. I AM too good to sink into that negative cycle of revenge and getting back at people, plotting and scheming of how to do negative things.

 I AM too good for that. I AM a good tree, so because I AM a good tree, the conclusion will always be good. I have tests, trials, and tribulations, but the end will work together for my good. Why? Because I AM a good tree. The storms come into my life, the wind blows, the rain comes down, and the earthquakes and hurricanes of life hit me, but I AM still standing because I AM a good tree. I don’t fall apart; I bend, but I don’t break because I AM a good tree.

  Why Me? God’s Glory (Romans 8:18) Why? That's a question often in our Souls. Why is this happening to me? Why am I having this experience? Why am I facing this health challenge? There's an answer! Why am I having these relationship challenges? There’s an answer, and it’s the same one. Why am I having this financial challenge? There’s an answer! There’s an answer to every question in your Soul, and the answer is glory. The reason for every experience in your life is so that God can get the glory. The purpose of all our challenges is not to bring us down but to transform us and bring glory to God. Why am I having this test, this trial, this tribulation? So God can get the glory. Why am I experiencing this persecution, this headache, this pain? So, God can get the glory. Why am I witnessing this miracle, sign, or wonder? So, God can get the glory. Why am I having this challenge in my local assembly, in my ministry, in my business, and in my organization?

The Sacred Sunday Posture:  Kneeling “ A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees; if you are willing, you can make me clean (Mark 1:40).” In addition to bowing your heads and closing your eyes, many people learn to “get on your knees and pray.” Often, it’s at night before going to sleep. Parents instruct their children to kneel on the side of the bed and say their prayers. Perhaps you have fond memories of kneeling and reciting the Lord’s Prayer or the 23 rd Psalm. Or maybe you were taught, like me, “Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake. I pray the Lord, my soul, to take. God bless mommy, daddy...” Kneeling is a physical way to revere God as your Creator and remember that God is your Source. “Know that it is the Lord, who is God. It is he that has made us and not we ourselves. We are his people and the sheep of his pasture (Psalm 100:3).” Without reverencing and ...

Where Is the Love? Learning to Recognize God's Presence Through Galatians 5

  Where Is the Love?    One of my favorite duets is by Donny Hathaway and Roberta Flack: "Where Is the Love?" It asks, "Where is the love that you said you would give to me?" It's a timeless question and one that’s just as spiritually relevant today.    In Galatians 5 , Paul writes to the churches in Galatia about the contrast between the works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit. He helps believers understand how to discern what’s truly of God. And here's the spiritual compass: love is God's signature . "And envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."   Galatians 5:21 (KSB)    Whatever you do whether it’s cooking a meal or making a major decision ask yourself: "Where is the love?" Is love your motive? Is love present in your tone, your actions, your intentions?  Paul’s letter urges us to determine whether we are operati...
