ROOTS

Dear children of God, every tree, creeper and plant has roots and it go inside the earth deep to fetch water, minerals and food for the tree or plant and creeper. The roots, duty are to supply foods to all parts of the body of plant or tree. The roots are very important in the life of tree or plant because it gives strength to stand firm in the land and helps to bear fruits or flowers. If the roots affected by the insects or any other damage, totally the tree or plant will die or decay. A man or woman must deeply rooted in Christ to grow in spiritual realm. Otherwise he or she cannot bear fruit for God. Therefore , as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.[col2:6]

1.       Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit.[deut29:18] we would like to live a good life, and want to be a good person. But some time poisonous and bitter fruit grows inside us without knowingly. If we do what God wants us to do, then we live as a good person. When we do things what God does not want to do, then the poisonous and bitter fruit grows in our hearts and mind. What comes out of a person is what defiles him. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. Face is the index of the heart.  If our heart is pure and clean then the face shows happiness, otherwise poisonous and bitter fruit will come up. When we disobey God’s commandments, we just depend on ourselves, then, there the poisonous and bitterness root will spring up. This poisonous and bitter root will spread into our body and mind, and the entire body will decay. If the poisonous and bitter root rooted deep in our heart then to plug them would be very hard, so we have to plug them from the very beginning. Dear children of God, our days in the world are very short, but we are going to live with Christ eternally in his kingdom, so let us be careful about the poisonous and bitter root. Let it not rooted in our heart, otherwise it will spoil the whole body, mind and soul. Let us guard our heart, mind and soul.2.       For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. Money is very much needed in this world. Without money, it is difficult to live. Money is very much needed for day today living, and it is true, but the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Because of love of money men are dare to do evil things openly now a days in the world. This love of money causes many evil things in the families, societies, countries and even in the whole world. Simon offered them money, saying, ‘give me this power also so that anyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit. But peter said to him, may your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money. You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.  Repent, therefore, of this wickedness of yours. And pray to the Lord that if possible the intent of your heart may be forgiven you. For I see that you are in gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity. Your evil will chastise you, and your apostasy will reprove you, know and see that is evil and bitter for you to forsake the Lord your God; the fear of me is not in you declares the Lord God of hosts. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ only for thirty silver coins, because of his love of money, but that money did not give him happiness or life, but that love of money took away his life from this world. Money, money this evil root will bring only hell not heaven. Money will run up to hell; not to heaven. Love of money deep root up to hell. Friends careful.3.       The root of righteous bears fruit. Peoples live in this world are not all righteous. We can find the righteous only by their fruit. All men are not bearing fruit. The righteous who walk in his integrity- blessed are his children after him. The root of the righteous will never moved. Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures forever. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the right forsaken or his children begging for bread. This is the David’s testimony. Because the law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip. The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. His offspring will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in his commandments! At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known at the Italian cohort, a devout man who feared God with his entire household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. The righteous Cornelius rooted in God deep to bear fruits, and he became a channel of blessings to bear fruits. Today people work in the government high ranks has no time to fear God or no time to spend time in the feet of Jesus with prayers and thanksgiving. Then how can anyone deep root in Christ to bear fruits? Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Jesus said that I am true vine; you are branches, whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bear much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.  If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. Dear friends be rooted in God’s words, holiness and abide in Christ, then you can bear more fruits and be a blessings to others to rooted in Jesus Christ to bear fruits.
