The good and the bad tree...!

Matthew 12:33-37 NKJV

“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit.  Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things.  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”

Shalom! Day #284. Do you know that your words has the power either to release life to you or bring judgement and condemnation to you? Let's pray. Father, we do not want to pretend to be a good tree, but help us daily to be a tree that produces good fruits for the glory of Your name. In every ways of our life let our conduct be right before You, in speech and in attitude as well as character. In Jesus name we ask and we pray, amen!

Good trees can only produce good fruits. An orange tree cannot produce an apple or vice-versa. We must really be careful with those who preach and teach. You know their lifestyle may be vary from the way they preach or serve. Their lifestyle may be a Lifestyle that's full and filled with nonsense, but they preach a power pack message yet there is emptiness in the preaching. Wolf in sheep's clothing. Beware of the doctrines they bring.

Now the second thing is be careful with what you speak and do. Your words can be used against you in judgement. I've watch a few police movies, whenever they caught the criminal the police will always say this "you have rights to remain silent and anything you say will be used against you." This is true. It's biblical. We have to be watchful with the words we speak. Once you throw out the word, it's irrevocable. Even in your own personal life, how do you speak into every situations of your life? The bible says death and life is at your tongue and no man can tame it. People always say this, "think positively and speak positively." Well it is true as well. The difference is they use worldly wisdoms to speak right but we know truth of His Living word, we must confess His word into every situations of our life. A good tree, produces good fruits, both in speech and action as well as character and attitude. Bad tree may act like producing good fruit, but in the end of the day their camouflage will be exposed. So be watchful in your attitude, speech, actions and character because people are watching your every step.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
