Tree of Life:
““And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.” Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”Revelation 22:12-16 (NKJV)
We are supposed to be ready washed our sins by the Blood of Jesus and live a holy life to meet the Lord Jesus, completing what are the instructions He gave us to do as His commandments, to have right to the Tree of Life and then to enter into the Heavenly City. Our job is to finish all the commandments of the Lord for Him, so that we can receive the rewards from the hands of our Lord Jesus when He comes. You should be spending your time, money and strength to do God’s work in you and through you. Other than having a living here, your total attention is to spend your time in the Word of God and having a Personal Relationship with Jesus to know His good, pleasing, perfect Will in your life and to do His plans and purposes in this world. Romans 12: 1-2(NKJV). This you do making sure Jesus is the centre of your lives, then you are eating from the Tree of Life and you will have supernatural life totally away from all the hurts and burdens of this worldly life.
“Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” John 10:7-10 (NKJV)
Tree of knowledge of good and evil:
“The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.””Genesis 2:8-9, 15-17 (NKJV)
Make sure you are not under the wrong tree, the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. Because you are seeing only the good in this tree, but notice, evil also lurks underneath it! How many are suffering nowadays with fears and traumas, not knowing there is remedy only by knowing Jesus personally and having a relationship with Him? These days even Christians are going for counselling with the secular physicians who could never help them, because the problems they go through are spiritual and only Holy Spirit guidance is needed to get out and to be completely delivered. Mostly people suffer anger and rejection because they think about themselves all the time and expect all others to help them; and they never think about the other persons who are around them and that they got to give those around, same love and attention they expect from others. Matthew 7:12(NKJV) If you are suffering and going through all the things the worldly people go through, then you are eating from the wrong tree, the Tree of Knowledge having good as well as evil with it.
“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.” James 3:13-16 (NKJV)
