The Tree of God

By Sis. Ehis Precious Bamgbose

Psalm 92:12 says, The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.  First, I will like to tell you some facts about the cedar tree.

Cedar tree symbolizes resilience, strength, stability, immortality, and elevation. Cedar tree protects the forest and can survive in any challenges. Anything that flourishes does not wither.

A flourishing life is a blessed life. Something that flourishes is alive, healthy, and growing. This means that a cedar tree is a flourishing tree. In Jeremiah 17:7-8, God is using a tree as an illustration of a believer.

He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water.  This is an assurance of fruitfulness. As a believer, if you are not productive in the kingdom of God, you need to re-evaluate your life and examine your connection with the rivers of water (which can mean the word of God, Holy spirit or healthy spiritual atmosphere) every tree planted by the river side must bring forth fruit as the Bible has stated. 

Psalm 1:3 also says that the “tree shall bring forth fruit in its season.” This means fruit bearing has its own season. You cannot judge a tree without its season because there is a season for everything that happens in our individual lives.

So, before you complain or lose hope on anything, before you lose the assurance of God’s blessings in your life, remind yourself that every tree has its own season. That you are not seeing fruit does not mean you are not planted by God or you are not planted by the rivers of water.

It only means it is not yet your season. Your season is here, in Jesus Name. AMEN.

You will have good success this 2019.

Remain blessed. 

Shalom.
