GOOD AND BAD FRUIT

in #steemchurch6 years ago

Matthew 7:16-20,

"Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruits;but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit
Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire
Wherefore by their fruits,ye shall know them"

We all know a good fruit from the bad ones,when a fruit is bad and rotten,we throw it away and takes the good ones. The Bible text shall be based on our body which is the tree that brings fruit,then the fruits(good and bad) is our character to the things of God. When we are always happy with God's work and our character goes along with the work,we are categorized as the good fruit but when a person exhibit the actions of the devil,and did not bother to look after God's work,they are tagged as the corrupt fruit. When our character is bad and all we think of is to do evil to mankind,God's anger is brought upon such fellow. God knows all our works and what we do including in the dark and He pays to them according to what they do. When all you do is ruin other people's life with your bad character, you are a corrupt fruit. You go to night clubs,date married men/women,involve in money ritual,takes what does not belong to you,you are a corrupt fruit and the Bible says, "they will be cut down and thrown into the fire". A man with a bad character cannot find favour in God's sight.

When as a pastor, you prophesied in God's name,did wonders in the sight of men but you are not found holy, even if they did not see you,God does and He is waiting for your doom if you refuse to repent. When you don't read the word of God,but only do wicked to your fellow,you are a bad fruit.
" you shall be known by your fruit"
Don't think people are not seeing you,they are!! A Lady who puts on skimpy dresses to church exposing all her private parts will easily be known as a wayward lady because a good Christian will not dare to do that. As a man,you want the downfall of your friend and always trying all means to get rid of him,your reward is with God

We must try to please God by living holy and also be a good role model to those behind us. Whatever you do is what people will use to tell of you. When you read God's word and act on it,then God will be happy with you and also your name will be written in the book of life. If you only call the name of God and not doing His will,you are just deceiving yourself

Matthew 7:21-23,
"Not everyone that saith unto me,Lord,Lord,shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven
Many will say to me in that day,Lord,Lord,have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have casts out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them,I never knew you:depart from me,ye that work iniquity "
