Dealing with Unfruitful Trees

Text: Matt.15:10-14,
More Lessons: Num.33:52-56

It is very easy to interpret verse 13 of the scripture reading on the surface. But you don't interpret scriptures only on the understanding that you have. You could also look for a little theological explanation of the scripture. For example, the theological application revolves around Jesus teaching about the Pharisees that the doctrines they have been teaching are not acceptable to God and therefore in a very short while, God will put an end to those doctrines, that is primarily what that scripture is talking about.

The application of that scripture is that an ungodly and unscriptural doctrine is not the only thing that Jesus wants to put an end to. He wants to put an end to anything that is not acceptable to God, anything that has no foundation in God has no reason to stand. So, apply this to your life. Those are some of the things we do to understand scriptures. Jesus says, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up Matt.15:13. That tree must be uprooted because it was not planted by the Father. You can apply that to your life, what are the things that are happening in your life that are not from God? If your life belongs to God, whatever happens to it must get the consent and approval of God.

The scripture becomes relevant when applied to your life, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted. . .. Why is it that only the trees that the Father has planted are the ones which must survive? Can't anyone else plant? Must it be the Father alone that plants in your life? Only the Father can plant because the Certificate of Occupancy of the land belongs to the Father as the Bible says, The earth is the Lord's, and the ful lness thereof Psalm24:1. The whole earth belongs to God, which means only God has the final authority to give Certificate of Occupancy over any land, because He created it. If God owns it, the devil cannot use it.

Have faith in God, start your day confident that the God that rules the universe is working for you. That is how to make sure that every tree that the Lord has not planted is uprooted. And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith Mk.11:22-23.

Prayer/Action
* Ask the Lord to empower you over every tree not planted by Him in your life.
* Use the name, the blood and the Spirit of God in you to uproot every demonic planting in your life.
* Declare that your life will no longer be a fertile ground for satanic seeds, in Jesus’ name.
