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.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

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

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
