MEMORISE: A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. – Matthew 7:18
READ: Matthew 7:18-20
- 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.
MESSAGE:
Biology has established that genes that determine physical characteristics, such as body size, height, eye colour, complexion, et cetera, are transferred from parents to children. However, not many people believe that character, attitudes, and patterns are also established in bloodlines. For example, a child whose parents engage in violence will most likely grow up to be aggressive and violent.
Also, there are patterns in a parent’s life that manifest in a child’s life. For example, a child may start lying or stealing, not because he or she saw a parent do it, but because it’s inherent in the family line. I noticed that I often got angry, which I inherited from my dad, but I made extra efforts to overcome it. I made it a major prayer point and ran away from anyone who tried to provoke me.
Beloved, are there some bad attitudes you have noticed in your parents which are now manifesting in your life? It is time you pay more attention to them, seek counsel, and pray fervently so that they will not destroy your future.
ACTION POINT: Ask the Holy Spirit to help you overcome any weakness in your life.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR
Isaiah 12:1-14:32; 2 Corinthians 13:1-14
HYMN 51: BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD
- Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do. - Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure. - Breathe on me, Breath of God;
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine. - Breathe on me, Breath of God;
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
