May 2019 - Our Month of Trees of Righteousness

From Our Pastor's Desk

Welcome to this our new Month of Trees of Righteousness in Jesus name. First, the Bible refers to us believers as “Trees”.

Psalm 1:3 – “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water…” And righteousness is defined as without guilt or sin. Means right standing with God. As trees of righteousness, we have right standing with God, not because of what we did, but because of what Jesus did for us in God's great plan of redemption.

2nd Cor. 5:21 - “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” Noah overcame the world. He found grace in the eyes of the Lord. The world that he lived in was filled with violence, sin, demonic activity, immorality etc “But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his generation, and Noah walked with God”

He was declared righteous by God. He walked with God. Righteousness saved him, covered him, and protected him.  In this Our Month of the Trees of Righteousness, the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus will save us all too. James 5:16 teaches… “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”  Our prayers this month will be effective, powerful, and will rain down blessings, in Jesus Name.

AMEN
