A BAD TREE

**A BAD TREE**

Most times it's easier to predict animals, than it is to predict most human beings. 

God created us all so that we can fellowship with him and do His work here on earth.

 "let us create man in our own image" it says in the book of the Genesis.

Nobody has seen God physically or had a Face to face talk with Him, but we believe, by Faith what we read through His holy book and the stories and teachings that are in it that God is the Divine being and creator of both heaven and the earth. 

We humans have so much faith in God, and He has always been there for us right from the beginning. From the moment  of our first breath and tears, till today. But the same way there is God we also have Devil,  an angel created to do great works but went about trying to overthrow his master God Almighty and was sent down from heaven to earth along with his demons.

The devil is like a lion going up and down the earth seeking who to feast on or use for his work to dethrone God again, just like he used the angels in heaven the last Time. 

As humans, we must know that the Devil is invisible to human sight, but very powerful if you let him use you. 

God told Adam and Eve the first man and woman NOT to eat from a particular tree of all trees in the garden, but the devil has a way of pushing man to do what they are not supposed to do, especially if they leave an access door open to him. I.e an avenue for control.

WHAT DOES THE DEVIL LOOK FOR IN HUMANS?

The devil doesn't visit all humans, he only searches for the weak and feable in spirit; 

These are some of the things he searches for:

1. Greed: intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food. 

Most times We don't know we have this in us, and until we know the signs we won't know what it is; 

In politics, most leaders exhibit this nature cos' money can ignite greed in us. Presidents, Governors, Senators, even church leaders, etc most times are very well paid and yet they still eat from the money they are supposed to use to better the lives and provide the basic necessities of their starving citizens.

Greed is looking at your friends making progress and feeling  bad and envy towards them with thoughts like "it should be me". Also, some people have it all yet still envy friends that have little things that they don't have.

Greed can lead to murder, hate, and destruction.

2. Unforgiving Spirit:

When someone has been offended, and it's very difficult to forgive humanly speaking.

Normally, If a friend betrays you all you think about is the act of discarding them, to prevent a repeat of their actions. but if this Unforgiving Spirit comes into one's life, their thoughts would be that of  revenge, and hatred. 

The list on examples is endless, but the bible teaches us about all these in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10;

"9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men

10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

HOW CAN ONE BE SAVED FROM THE REACH OF DEVIL? 

James 4:7

"7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." 

This is hard to do because the devil always seems to have the easiest way out or forward. God does His things based on the right time and in humans sight its too far to wait for. What ever you get illegally is wrong and so it is with God. 

If you do not have any of  the listed below according to God, you are on the wrong path; 

Galatians 5:22-23

"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law."

N.B.

The world is broken 💔 just because of one thing LOVE, wherever there isn't LOVE that place can never hold. LOVE is the foundation of anything good cos' it only takes a loving heart to look past the evil of this world and still want to do better.

Reach out to people no matter what they have done and try to make peace from your heart and by so doing, you are healing this world gradually. God be with us all in Jesus' name! Amen.
