Genesis 2:9 ( And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food: the tree of life also in the midst of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and evil)
Matthew 3:10 ( And now also the axe is laid unto the trees: therefore every tree which bring not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire)
There are many trees in the gardens, all of which were planted by God. He made a distinction between the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which he warned them not to eat, lest they die.
The tree of life carries life while the tree of the knowledge of good and evil carries death. Unfortunately, man chose death over life and transferred it to the incoming generations.
The Bible says that all other trees that God gave Adam are also good for food and good to behold. Still, the difference between them is that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil carried a spiritual undertone that affects the souls, which is to make one wise, while the tree of life carried spiritual power that will bring eternal life to man, it means that it’s not only for physical satisfaction but also has spiritual implications.
Tree hold significant place in man life, man fell by the tree and was restored also by the tree, its either you’re being controlled by the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, that placed you under the power of curse and death or you’re under the control of the tree of life, both were placed in the garden of God, its the one you chose that’ll be the driven force of your life.
Each life is compared to a tree, depending on which one is in charge, is it the tree of life or the tree of the knowledge of good and evil?
God is expecting good fruit from the life he created and it can only be achieved if we are transformed by the tree of life which is Jesus Christ.
Natural man can only bring corruption for there is nothing good in man everyone is walking in his depravity.
It’s the forbidden trees that Adam ate in the garden that were controlling human affairs and put them under the dominion of the devil, until Jesus came to give himself for man to eat to gain eternal life and also become the likeness of God, which we were created to be but were not able to achieve, for Adam chose death instead of life.
Had they first tasted from the tree of life, man would have been perfected, not only in God’s image but in his likeness.
This is one of the purposes for which Christ came, to restore us into God’s image and transform us in his likeness, to have dominion again as it was before the fall, this can only be done by believing in Jesus Christ alone.
Those who put their trust in God are compared with the tree planted by the rivers of water and will bring forth fruit in due season, but rebellious are compared to a tree planted in a desert who lack nutrients and withers for lack of water.
A tree that wasn’t planted by God shall be rooted up, and any tree that is not producing fruit of repentance shall also be cut off, check the fruits that are coming from your life, whether it’s the works of the flesh or the fruit of the spirit.
Jesus Christ came to redeem the world but it is his own that will listen to him, those who are not of God will not listen or obey, because they are from the wicked one.
The world is spiritual and even childbearing is also spiritual; it’s either God blesses you with the fruits of the womb that will come to fulfil his mission on earth, or you become an instrument in the devil’s hand that will bring his seed to the world nothing is neutral.
Cain was the first child of the enemy because of Eve’s interactions with the serpent, he was able to infiltrate the world of men with his seed.
Children of the devil are perpetually under the curse of God, it’s only the blood of the lamb that will be able to blot it out if you visit the cross for cleansing.
Unfortunately, most Christians are still operating under this curse, had they known the way to Calvary to dump their sin and receive a new life, they would have become free to live a life dedicated to divine purpose.
Some know the way but choose their own way because that’s what please then most, they even block others from accessing it because of their wickedness, not knowing that there is a way that seems right unto man, but the end thereof is destruction.
Trees planted by God will dwell beside the river of living water, whatever he does shall prosper, for he is no longer under the control of the forbidden tree, he has been justified by the power of death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who will condemn those whom God has justified? Everyone knows where he belongs, and will answer to the call of his destiny.
Some trees were cut down before they brought forth fruit; all depend on God, it’s either for protection or to prevent them from influencing other trees for corruption.
If you’re still operating under the influence of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, your fruit will definitely be corrupted, religion wont heal you, unless you are transform and be rooted in a true vine, make the tree good and it will bring forth good fruit, this can only be done by God by the work of the regeneration at the place of calvary, the place of destiny exchange.
If the tree is yet to be good, no matter your activities in the house of God, it will shows that you’re yet to visit the cross, anger in the life of Christians is a sign, envy and jealousy is one of the signs, its the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that is manifesting in a life that displayed the works of the flesh.
Flesh must die for the spirit to live and fulfill its purpose..
Works of the flesh are listed in the book of Galatians, whichever one is manifesting in you linked you to that tree in the garden; it shows that you don’t have a relationship with the tree of life.
You won’t bring forth fruits of repentance and if you refuse to repent God will cut you down, why should you cumber the ground?
The problem caused by the tree has its solution in the cross, where he is hanging to bring man back to his original state before the fall.
Man can’t live independently without the tree of life or the true vine, if you try to cut yourself off because you think you have arrived, you will just wither and be cast into fire.
This is the life of backsliders who willfully sin after they have received the knowledge of the truth and tasted of the heavenly gifts and the power to come. It would be better if they hadn’t been born, they crucified the son of God the second time and trampled on the blood that was shed to set them free.
If you want to be independent without the cross, you will become lifeless and wither, there is nothing good in man since the fall, all the displayed by the flesh is for selfish reasons.
It’s either to go to the tree of life and have the life of God to be able to produce fruit that’ll be of benefit to God and mankind or you remain under the influence of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and be chased away perpetually from the presence of God.
Prayer: My father and my God restore me to yourself as it was from the beginning, in Jesus name amen.
