YOU ARE A TREE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

Isaiah 61:3 (NKJV) “
The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, Because the Lord has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor;*To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified .

In Christ, God has made you a tree of righteousness so that your life can produce fruits of righteousness. Three major reasons why we should desire to produce fruits of righteousness are: (1) We now have God’s righteous nature in us, (2) Producing fruits of righteousness glorifies God, (3) Fruits of righteousness impact and draw men to God.

A mango tree cannot produce orange fruits because it is not in its nature to do so. Your life as a believer cannot bear the fruits of sin because that is not your nature. “Ye are the salt of the earth: ….Ye are the light of the world,” Jesus said. Allow your light to shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:13a, 14a, & 16). “My true disciples produce bountiful harvests,” Jesus said in John 15:8 (LB). This brings my Father great honour.”

“Arise, my people! Let your light shine for all the nations to see! For the glory of the Lord is streaming from you. Darkness as black as night shall cover all the peoples of the earth, but the glory of the Lord will shine from you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see the glory of the Lord upon you.” (Isa.60:1-3, LB).

Faith Declaration:
I am a tree of righteousness. My life produces fruits of righteousness that glorify God and draw men to God.
