1. A HEALTHY TREE THERE IS AN IMPORTANCE OF THINGS WORKING TOGETHER AND WE SEE IT A LOT IN THE SCRIPTURE. Rom 8:30 “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” James 3:17 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” James 1:15 “Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”

2. RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD HE IS A LOVING GOD HE WANT TO BLESS US AND MAKE OUR WAYS PROSPER. BUT, HE REQUIRES THINGS OF US, THINGS THAT WE ARE CAPABLE OF THROUGH HIS STRENGTH. LOVE HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART Deut 5:29 “O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!” SERVE HIM AND HIM ALONE Matt 6:24 “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

3. BE FRUITFUL John 15:8 “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” BE OBEDIENT James 1:22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Isa 1:18-19 “Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”

4. YOUR OUTREACH OUTREACH IS TO CHRISTIANS AND NON-CHRISTIANS Gal 6:2 “Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Phil 2:3-4 “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” 1 John 3:17 “But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

5. Heb 13:16 “But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased. NKJV Luke 6:38 “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Rom 15:7 “Therefore, accept each other just as Christ has accepted you so that God will be given glory.” NLT (ACCEPT THAT THIS SALVATION IS FOR THEM TOO)

6. YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD YOUR OUTREACH TO OTHERS. SO OFTEN I THINK WE MISS THIS CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. MATT.22:36-40 John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” 1 John 5:3 “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.”

7. Mark 16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” Matt 5:13-16 “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

8. Isa 61:3 “To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”

9. LIVING WATER FAITH READING FASTING PRAYER INWARD HOLINESS THE ROOTS OF THE TREE IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. THINGS THAT GO UNSEEN BY OTHERS. GIFTS AND FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT GIFT DEFINES TYPE OF TREE DISCIPLING COUNSELING TRACTS MISSION/ FOOD PANTRY PREACHING BIBLE STUDIES INTERNET TESTIMONY VBS SUNDAY SCHOOL LIFESTYLE APPAREL LANGUAGE/ ATTITUDE THE BRANCHES OF THE TREE ARE AVENUES OF OUTREACH. GOD MAY HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT IS NOT UP HERE. THE FRUIT OF THE TREE IS REACHING OUT TO PEOPLE. EXPRESSING CHRIST TO EVERYONE AND SHOWING HIS LOVE FOR THEM. THE MORE YOU EXPRESS ALL THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, THE BIGGER THE TRUNK OF YOUR TREE AND THE MORE BRANCHES YOU CAN HAVE TO REACH.

10. Ps 1:3 “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” Ps 92:13 “Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.”
