BE PLANTED LIKE A TREE 

​To be planted like a tree,you have to be watered by the word daily,and cast down everything that exalt itself against the knowledge of the word.

“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the scornful; But his delight is in the law of the Lord , And in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper. The ungodly are not so, But are  like the chaff which the wind drives away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish”. [Psalms 1:1‭-‬6]

THE WORD SAYS:

“The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the Lord is upright; He  is my rock, and there  is no unrighteousness in Him”. [Psalms 92:12‭-‬15]

FINALLY, “Blessed  is the man who trusts in the Lord , And whose hope is the Lord . For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. [Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬8]

☆☆☆☆ Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”[John 7:37‭-‬38]

♧♧♧♧”but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”[John 4:14]

GOD’S  PERSONAL INVITATION  TO  YOU  

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what  is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what  is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.{Isaiah 55:1‭-‬3}

♤♤♤“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the  Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are  dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. ■Revelation 22:12‭-‬17■

JESUS PAID IT ALL,YOU OWE HIM

​For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

(John 3:16‭-‬19 )

LISTEN:

“He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was  wounded for our transgressions, He  was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was  any  deceit in His mouth. Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors”. {Isaiah 53:3‭-‬12 }.

THEREFORE, “Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power. Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not! Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with  her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with  Him. Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who  is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s”.

(1 Corinthians 6:13‭-‬20)

GOD’S WAY IS THE BEST WAY

​THE RIGHT WAY

Proverbs 14:12 says,

“There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death”.Man’s preconceptions of God always prevent him from having the right relationship with God. However,When it comes to God, It is NEVER about what we think of Him. It is always about what God says of Himself.

We must all learn to accept God for Who He is and not for who we want Him to be or how we want Him to be.

Jer 29:13 And all of you shall seek me, and find me, when all of you shall search for me with all of your heart. 

Matthew 6:33 says,to seek Him first.. HAVE YOU SEEK HIM? Have a blessed day.

SIN’S FORGIVER

THE ONLY MESSIAH

“This is a true saying and everyone should believe it, Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and I was one of the worse of them all; But that is why God had mercy on me, so that Christ Jesus could use me as a prime example of His great patience with even the worse  sinners; then others will realize that they too, can believe in Him(Jesus) and receive eternal life (1 Timothy 1:15-16).Then John 3:16 tells us that ,God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten son Jesus Christ to save us and not condemn us. 1 Timothy 2:4-6 confirms this by telling us;

  “For He (Jesus) wants everyone to be saved and to understand the truth. For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and people. He is the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. This is the message that God gave to the world at the proper time.” Have a blessed day.

GOD’S MASTERPIECE  

Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it  was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.{Genesis 1:26‭-‬27‭, ‬31}

LISTEN:

“God does not make mistakes. He is a meticulous perfectionist. And you my darling, are a walking masterpiece. I don’t care if you are an astrophysicist or a garbage man, you are fearfully, wonderfully and masterfully created. You can and will do all things. We have all heard this verse…. “I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me.” But there is something superbly profound when you allow those words to truly take root in your soul and when you wholeheartedly accept that you really can do ALL things. You begin to let go of inhibition and doubt and instead you walk boldly into the unknown with a new found confidence that you can and will conquer it.”-by Brianna Carey © ❤️

GOD SAYS:

“What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can  be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It  is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It  is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord”.[Romans 8:31‭-‬39]

CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS 

​Many times during our lives we allow things that’s not beneficial to our health and well being,occupy,rule and ruin our thoughts. Job is a perfect example. He said,” For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me”.{Job 3:25}.

Therefore,the question is how do we Govern our Thoughts . I am glad you ask,because 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us How. It says:

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ…

Then Proverb 23:7 points to the fact that,”For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…”.

LISTEN :

-The thoughts you think good or bad can eventually go from your mind (soul) to your heart and then to your body, and also to other areas of your life. 

-Your thoughts can affect you. Only think thoughts that are good and healthy. 

Philippians 4:8 

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are True, Honest, Just, Pure, Lovely, things that are of Good Report; if there be any Virtue, and if there be any Praise, think on these things. 

-Remember thoughts can become beliefs, and beliefs can become a reality. Govern your thoughts. 

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!

GODS AMAZING  LOVE FOR US

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. {John 3:16‭-‬17 }

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.{1 John 3:1}.

A friend of mine shared this message with me,and so I share it with you:

HIS AGAPE LOVE
Agape love is the love of God for man. Agape love is spontaneous self-giving love expressed freely without calculation of cost or gain to the giver or merit on the part of the receiver. Agape love is christian brotherly love in its highest manifestation.
“Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.” – 1 Peter 1:22.
Agape love acts unilaterally, meaning this love reaches out even if the person being loved doesn’t recognize the love. Agape love gives even when the partner doesn’t respond as hoped. It’s giving and meeting the real needs of another. It is selfless love.
“Love is patient, and is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not proud. Is not rude, is not self-seeking. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth; it always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” – 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a.
This is exactly the kind of love the apostle Paul has in mind when he begins Ephesians 5 by urging us to “walk in love”—to live out an agape love.
This agape love is a God-given, supernatural, and unconditional love. The 1 Corinthians 13 passage says that, first of all, love is “patient.” We could stop right there. Patience means putting up with a lot of junk over a long period of time and not retaliating.
Next, the passage says “love is kind,” which means that it not only looks for positive ways to express concern and meet needs but also lacks any hint of envy, jealousy, boasting, pride, rudeness, self-seeking, quick temper, recorded offenses, or delighting in evil.
In agape love, the relationship is not about you. It’s not about your life or about what you can get. It’s about how you can serve the other person. When you love this way you’re not easily angered.
You don’t blow up. You don’t pout. You don’t give up and take your ball and go home. Unlike Hollywood’s version of love that depends on passionate feelings, good looks, and pleasant circumstances, this kind of love remains loyal and steadfast even in the worst of times.
Agape love “keeps no record of wrongs.” It makes allowances for others’ shortcomings and mistakes, like we want them to make for us when we fail. “Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.”
It’s the kind of love that looks past the other’s failure, that believes in them when they don’t even believe in themselves. It’s a God-given, other-centered commitment to our partner that “always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres.” 
This is the kind of love that is so powerful that it “never fails.” It says, “No matter what, I’m with you.” That’s what agape love is–the love that keeps on giving and giving.
Eros love has to do with heightened emotions and raw attraction. Phileo love has to do with friendship, communion, and sharing. Agape love has to do with unconditional loyalty and sacrificial commitment. 
In fact, agape love can be summed up best by the following statement: It’s giving others what they need most when they deserve it the least.
If you thought to yourself after you read that summary, That sounds impossible, you’re right! Agape love is impossible! Agape love cannot be manufactured by human effort or willpower, and yet it is absolutely essential for deep love, and lasting relationship.
Agape love is the only love that lasts. God’s love is unchangeable, intense, caring, and without end (for the believer only.) 

JESUS SAID:

“This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends”.[John 15:12‭-‬13]

“The love of God is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:39). “Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen” (Ephesians 6:24).

HOW LONG

How long are you going to keep sinning,and say God understands ? When He clearly says,
” Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother” {1 John 3:4-10 }.
LISTEN :
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.{I John 1:8-10}
How long are you going to let the devil entice you,to keep sinning,is he your father?
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
[John 8:34-36, 44-47 ]
STOP BEING A SLAVE TO SIN:
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord , choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .”
[Joshua 24:15 ]

THINGS THAT WILL SEND YOU TO HELL

​

Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.{1 Corinthians 6:9‭-‬11}

LISTEN:

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord , the temple of the Lord  are these.’ “For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. “Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know, and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’? Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, ” says the Lord . “But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works,” says the Lord , “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren— the whole posterity of Ephraim. “Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they  pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger. Do they provoke Me to anger?” says the Lord . “ Do  they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?” Therefore thus says the Lord God : “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.”[Jeremiah 7:3‭-‬20]

THINK POSITIVE 

​Thoughts & Beliefs

Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are  noble, whatever things are  just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are  lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there  is any virtue and if there  is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.{Philippians 4:8‭-‬9}

Then Proverb 24:7 reminds us that,

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he…

Mark 11:23 

…and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he said shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he said. 

+What you allow yourself to continue to think about you will eventually believe.  

+What you believe you will eventually exercise faith in. 

+And what you continue to exercise faith in will eventually materialized in your life. 

+Remember it all starts with Thoughts and Beliefs. 

+Let the Word of God be your meditation day and night. You will eventually developed a strong Belief, Faith, Trust and Conviction in the Word of God. 

+ And finally you will demonstrate the kind of faith that will make you prosper and have good success. 

Our mindset should be God said it,I believe it,and that settles it.

LISTEN:

3 John 1:2 

Beloved, I wish above all things that you may PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as your soul prospers. 

+If you are sick God wants you HEALED, and if you are in good health God DOES NOT want you sick. 

Jeremiah 30:17 

For I will restore HEALTH unto you, and I will HEAL you of your wounds…

Psalm 107:20 

He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. 

Deuteronomy 34:7 

And Moses was a 120 years old when he died: his eye was not dim (perfect vision), nor his natural (body) force abated (lessen, reduce or decreased). 

+May the Good Lord bless us all with good health and strength as He did with Moses. Hallelujah!

•Continue to let the WORD of God be the standard for your life. Always LOVING others like Christ Jesus loves us while keeping our faith, trust and confidence in Him. 

•BLESSED you are and BLESSED you will always be and to God be all the GLORY. Amen!
