It's often been said that "A tree cannot make a forest", but the Word of God teaches otherwise. As Christians, we're trees of righteousness, and every tree can become a forest, through the anointing! God has anointed you, and everything you put your hands upon to do is ordained to prosper. You're not an ordinary person; you're filled with the Holy Spirit. There's an anointing on your life for growth, increase and expansion.

 

As trees of righteousness, we bear fruits of righteousness. You've been established in Zion to be fruitful and productive in every good work; ordained to radiate the glory of God. The Bible says concerning the righteous, "And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper" (Psalm 1:3). In other words, whatsoever you do multiplies; as a tree, God's will is for you to be a forest!

 

The potential is in you to become a forest. And the Holy Ghost is the One who enables you to do more! He's the One that can turn your wilderness into a fruitful field. Your testimony, henceforth, will be that of increase, expansion, and productivity, irrespective and independent of circumstances.

 

Already, you're a fruitful field; but I want you to notice what the opening verse says again: "the fruitful field will be counted for a forest." In the field, there're trees and there're grasses, but you're a tree - a tree of righteousness, planted by God. When you, as a tree of righteousness, produce other trees of righteousness, we have a fruitful field. And by the Holy Spirit, as we all continue to multiply, the fruitful fields become forests.

 

This is what we do as we preach the Gospel, and lead men and women into righteousness; we're making them trees of righteousness, who, in turn, produce other trees of righteousness.
