BY HIS FRUITS...



"A healthy tree produces good fruit, and an unhealthy tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. Matthew 7:17&18"

"Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by the kind of fruit that is produced- Matthew 7:20"


‘Action’, they say, ‘speaks louder than words’.

Someone may claim to be one thing but his true nature will definitely be revealed.  Even when he pretends, he can’t hide for long, it will eventually be revealed.

Well, we’ve heard of some very good actors, so the best thing is to pray to God to show you the heart of this man you are interested in or involved with.  And he will.

Actions, mannerisms, behaviors and even words are good indicators of a person’s true nature.


Do not ignore the writing on the wall

When you see a character or behavioral pattern that you believe you cannot cope with, you have to deal with it soon.  It is not wise to pretend it is not there or that it will just go away by itself. We are talking about a human being here, he has a free will. He can choose to be a particular way. Only his maker has an authority over him.


Ye are not the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is the only person I know that changes people. He doesn’t even force them to change. He shows them and lets them know why they should change. He enhances a transformation. And babes, yea are not the holy spirit. The ‘I am going to change him’ process is such a rigorous one. I wonder where some women get their and inspiration energy from to engage in such a difficult task. 

Do study Matthew 7:17-20 and use it to evaluate your relationship or friendship. If you want better, then you need to work towards it.  Pretense and denial will not solve anything.  It will not deal with the problem. You are simply ignoring it and will still find it there.

A good man will do good deeds. He can’t be comfortable exhibiting bad behavior.  And when it is the other way round, his actions will tell what kind of man he is.
