The Tree Of Life

 Genesis 2:9

It is God's will that we truly live.

It is God's will that we have true life.

The desire for God's human creation to truly live is the reason for God putting the tree of life in the garden of Eden.

Everything we see God give to man before sin became a part of life is still God's will for you today.

Matthew 19:8

In Eden, man had the blessing, he and his wife were clothed in glory, and the power to subdue, to be fruitful, and multiply was given to them.

They had dominion over the water realm (aquatic), the land (terrestrial) and the skies/heavenly (celestial) realms.

Genesis 1:26-28

The tree of life put in the garden of Eden was to ensure Adam and Eve and humanity truly live.

Genesis 2:9

To truly live is to live well, live strong, and finish well as a result of knowing God and being connected to Him.

To truly live is to make a choice to live.

Choose life. The life God offers!

Deuteronomy 30:19

True living will answer to a choice you will have to make.

Joshua 24:15

God respects our choices and decisions.

In Eden, Adam and Eve chose wrongly and couldn't truly live.

Genesis 3:11-24

The tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil were trees Adam and Eve had to make a choice about.

Genesis 2:16,17

Unfortunately they chose wrong.

They chose the tree of the knowledge of good and evil over the tree of life.

Human beings have not stopped making wrong decisions unfortunately.

The state of the world today is as a result of the wrong choices human beings keep on making. The results are all around us, from climate change, to wrong leadership at different levels, to the separation and divorce rate, following wrong career paths, wrong spiritual choices etc

Humanity does not always make the best decisions for itself.

If Adam and Eve had ate from the tree of life they would still be around today, and the course of humanity and the world would have been positively different.

We (those in Christ Jesus) will still have the opportunity to eat from the tree of life in a physical sense.

Revelation 2:7

But in a spiritual sense we have access to the tree of life.

The tree of life is symbolic of Jesus Christ.

Jesus is the life.

John 14:6

Jesus is the giver and restorer of true life.

John 10:10

To have true life we must be partakers of Jesus Christ.

We eat His body and drink His blood!

John 6:55-58

Jesus is the giver and restorer of true life.

John 10:10

Jesus likened Himself to a spiritual tree or plant. 

John 15:1-8

Jesus benefits us, the way the tree of life would have benefit Adam and Eve if they ate from it.

He is the real tree of life.

All throughout His ministry while on earth in the flesh, Jesus identified with life, gave life and restored life.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
