THE TWO TREES
David Abankwah
READ: Jeremiah 11:19
Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
-Matthew 7:17 | NKJV
Humanity is categorised into two main typologies: the typology of a good tree and the typology of the bad tree. God indeed created all of us but it is not all of us created, who were created to be God’s children. The permission of sin in the Garden of Eden was His plan to partition between humanity according to good trees and bad trees. We are all God’s images but it is not all of us who have divine likeness. Adam was created in the image and likeness of God, yet, he sinned. But God provided atonement for his sins with blood in the Garden of Eden by killing an animal (Genesis 3:21). To differentiate man from God, every child of God has to pass through sin before he can be saved.
God is the only One who has not sinned before and He proved it when He became flesh. The reason Adam being a child of God had to fall or sin in the Garden of Eden which represented the world, was because, the grace of God had to be beneficial. Without sin, the grace and the blood of Jesus Christ (God) is irrelevant. Before every good tree can bear the fruit of righteousness, holiness, and sanctification, that person has to pass through the grace and under the cross of God to receive the blood of Jesus Christ for the person’s remission of sins. It is only in the covenant of the blood of Jesus Christ that children of God can be born again. It is the blood of Jesus that brings spiritual separation.
In the Garden of Eden, these two trees were seen there: the tree of good and evil and the tree of life. Every child of God who is a good tree has eternal life because Jesus Christ is the tree of life and He gives eternal life to those who have Him. A bad tree is a child of the devil and the fruit of the person is both goodness and evil. You can be a good person and still be evil but you can’t be righteous and still be evil. Every bad tree has dual characters: good and evil. The Master of the bad tree is evil, because he is a liar, and a murderer from the beginning, yet he can also present himself as an angel of light indicating that he is also a good person. Such a diabolic fruit bearing antic!
Moreover, to different between people, God gives the Holy Spirit to His children and evil spirits also possesses the children of the devil. Before you can practise holiness always, you need the Spirit of God and to live in constant sin and evil, you also need to be operated or controlled by an evil spirit. It is these spirits that control the fruit bearing of a good tree and a bad one. Look at the way you think. Look at what comes from the heart. Look at the dreams you have. Look at the character you exhibit. These are all signs that tell you that, you are a child of God (good tree) or you are a child of Satan (bad tree). The eternal place of good trees is New Jerusalem and that of bad trees is the lake of fire.

Lift up prayers for God to uproot any bad tree in you that makes you bear fruits of sin and evil so you can the seed of God and bear the fruit of holiness in the name of Jesus Christ.
