Make like a Tree

In Psalm 1 it says that we can be like trees. 

Psa 1:1-4 GW  Blessed is the person who does not follow the advice of wicked people, take the path of sinners, or join the company of mockers.  (2)  Rather, he delights in the teachings of the LORD and reflects on his teachings day and night.  (3)  He is like a tree planted beside streams- a tree that produces fruit in season and whose leaves do not wither. He succeeds in everything he does.  (4)  Wicked people are not like that. Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.

It focus on two characteristics.

Fruit and leaves. When we grow mature in our walk with God we will grow the ability to feed other people the word of God. When people are spiritually hungry or starving we have the power to give them a word of encouragement. We can speak God’s word into their situation and expect God to manifest for them a solution.

The other characteristic is leaves. When we grow in our walk with God we will develop the ability to provide shade and protection for people. When the sun is beating down on you and you take cover under a big tree you will be refreshed. The sun won’t bother you because you are protected from its sting by the branches and the leaves on the branches. When we see someone that is beaten down by the problems in their lives we can offer shade to them. We can offer comfort to them.

In the bellow teaching we give you more insight on how to be a godly tree

Run to God when you sinned

Run To God – When we make mistakes and sin, we sometimes feel that we can’t go to God. 

The bible is very clear on this – When we sin, RUN TO GOD. Never feel that God won’t accept you when you have made a mistake and have sinned. 

1Jn 1:8-9 GW  If we say, "We aren't sinful" we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us.  (9)  God is faithful and reliable. If we confess our sins, he forgives them and cleanses us from everything we've done wrong.

In this teaching we give you a Biblical view and plan of what to do once you have sinned. But more importantly we also look at what you can do to stop sinning habitually. God loves you so don’t allow un-repented sin to steal your joy and peace.  

Going through a storm

Facing the storms – No matter what we do in life, we can be certain of one thing. We will face problems. 

Right now you might be going through a problem and you are thinking “how did this happen?” Even as Christian we need to know and understand that we have an enemy. 

His name is Satan. 

Even if we are in the perfect will of God, Satan can still attack us and does attack us. When we face trials and tribulations it’s not because we have sinned. We simply have an enemy. 

Your car might break down. You might be retrenched from work. And you DID NOT sin. 


Joh 16:33 GW  I've told you this so that my peace will be with you. In the world you'll have trouble. But cheer up! I have overcome the world."

Joh 14:1 GNB  "Do not be worried and upset," Jesus told them. "Believe in God and believe also in me.

Act 14:22 GNB  They strengthened the believers and encouraged them to remain true to the faith. "We must pass through many troubles to enter the Kingdom of God," they taught.

From these verses we learn the following:

1. No matter what the circumstances God's peace will never leave us
2. If you live in this world you will have troubles
3. To be joyful and full of good cheer is a choice
4. If you truly believe in God and In Jesus fear should not be apart of your life. You have a RIGHT not to fear
5. You must be among other Christians so that they can build you up and so that you can build them up

So Just RELAX – this is the time that you need to draw closer to God and not run away from Him. 

I am well able

The Bible says in Mar 9:23 MKJV - Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. 


1Ti 6:12 GNB  Run your best in the race of faith, and win eternal life for yourself; for it was to this life that God called you when you firmly professed your faith before many witnesses.

Mat 5:16 MKJV  Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.

God has a plan and a race for us to run. Btu sometimes we feel that we simply can’t do what God has called us to do. There might be fear in our hearts. Uncertainty about the future.

But God says all things are possible if we believe. In the below video we look at five steps for you to step into what God called you. So never be afraid of what you know God placed in your heart to do. You are well able
