Toes Of An Oak Tree

December, what a month to live through! A month which signifies to the world, whether they are Christian or Islam or of the Jewish faith or of the world’s other religions, a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ’s birthday, Christmas!

The branches of religion have branched out all over the world, with many different names and customs and beliefs. To God, all of mankind are His children. To mankind, all of us are God’s children. But, none are called by His name! Some are called Christians, some are called Jewish, some are called Buddhist and some are called Islamist, while some others are called many names signifying their Deity of their own beliefs. Are any of us called God’s children or ‘Godians’ or members of the religion of God??? Remember, all branches come from something. They just do not branch out from nothing on their own. As I see it, the only common denominator to this quagmire is God, Himself. But of course, man has to have his own God, don’t we?

The Great, Huge and Majestic Oak Tree, God created for mankind, to drop acorns to propagate it’s own kind, stands tall and proud. What keeps the tall oak tree standing tall is it’s support systems, it’s roots or it’s toes, of many different sizes and going many different directions. You know, kind of the way man’s religions have traveled through the years. An oak tree will stand tall as long as it’s roots are firmly set in the ground and as long as enough moisture is there to keep it watered. When unfavorable conditions exist, such as too much water and wind, the tree may topple and die.

We, man, must not see ourselves as the toes of an oak tree; but instead, we must see ourselves as the acorns which fall from the tree. The toes are and have become the religions of mankind. Some toes or man’s religions are large and well grounded while others are solitary heading in their own direction and with some others trying their best to strangle other roots and cut them off from their majestic prowess of their Oak Tree.

We, as these “Godians’, when we are dropped from the Oak Tree and as we mature out of our protected shell, we must seek the rooted and grounding required to survive in this world of these unfavorable conditions. As we can see for ourselves, the roots or religions try their very best to get death strangle holds on us before we can become so rooted and grounded that the whims of the unfavorable world’s conditions can not attach themselves to us.

There are four parts of this Oak Tree: the entire body, God; the roots, man's religions; the acorns, man; and the leaves, the flying lost children of God as they fall from this Majestic Oak Tree. As man is made up of three parts; body, soul and spirit, I see the Oak Tree as the Family of God in it’s beginning and in it’s entire being. God, the Father; the roots, man’s religions; the acorns, the one’s reseeding and propagating the earth; and the most tearful of them all are the leaves which cannot hang on for a season and fall off and are lost to the God family forever.

The acorns which fall from this Majestic Oak Tree to reseed and propagate the earth sometimes fall away as the leaves. Some acorns just fall between the cracks of the toes and never reach their destination of the place they were supposed to have been by God’s plan. Some fall to a hard dry un-relentless area which give no favor to a God’s planned replenishment of the earth’s progenitors.

Some acorns just fall away and never attempt to become what God planned for them to be, and to do. While many strive to be what they were planned to be, God’s children, one who reseeds and propagates and becomes a progenitor of what God started so they may spring up as new seedlings all over this God created earth. But, for some, to have the evil, the imitators, the unregenerate, and or all the unfavorable conditions which come against a God planned seed or acorn tear them down by one reason or another. Many are called, but few are chosen.

When you look at the oak tree from now on, look down at it’s toes or it’s roots and see all the different toes and with the different sizes and all of them going in all different directions. See the Majestic Oak as the God of this world, the Creator of all the universe and His plan for this time frame, in time, for man and his, God’s plan for man’s reasons for being. Some fall off at the least resistance, some cling to the plan as long as they can and at the last moment fall.

Some will actually sprout and become this seedling of God; then, without warning, an undesirable will attach itself to this seedling and strangle it to death; hence, stopping another of God’s planned progenitors. All along, the leaves continue to fall from the tree of life, the Holy Majestic Oak Tree, with no hope of ever regaining form with the Master of Creation.

They are also fulfilling their plan by the Master and they have fulfilled their responsibility. They, the fallen ones, some provide cover for the acorns, the future seedlings, to grow and mature and then sprout into their own plan; and some of the fallen ones will provide cover to keep moist the stony grounds in which some of the acorns fall onto, giving them a chance also to sprout. It may appear that the leaves are a wasted item and have no plan in God’s plan as with some of the children of man, whom appear to have no chance of ever escaping the grasp of the evil one and dieing; but, as with the leaves that fall, the fallen man has also a plan by God in which they are fulfilling and never knowing what they will do or have done. God uses all man, things and conditions to fulfill His plan to re-propagate this earth and continue as it will until the time of the end has come. God is no respecter of person.

Let us all remember that the plan of God, for all mankind, is not limited to just the ones saved and going to heaven; but, He has all of mankind in His heart with love and care; using everyone, anywhere, all the time and by all means He has planned, to fulfill His plan for what He created and has nurtured these many thousands of years. His plan, being fulfilled until the time, of the time of the end, using His Majestic Oak Tree, with the Toes of an Oak Tree and using the roots, man’s religions; the acorns, the called man; and the leaves, man; as examples of what some of His plans are. We can not know and we do not know the full plan and plans of God He has set in motion for mankind, His creation.

We are not here by happenstance, we were not born in the place we were born by accident and we are not a part of His Majestic Oak Tree by the regeneration of trees begetting other trees other than by their own seed.

As I prepare to celebrate, God’s root religion of man’s birth of Jesus Christ, Christianity as the Son of God, in my root, from my Oak Tree and religion of this Majestic Oak Tree, the reason for my season of living, I must tell you that God is God regardless of what root or religion which has sprung from God’s planned root of religion from His Majestic Oak Tree. No accident, no happenstance, no juxtaposition and no big bang theory, only God’s plan coming to fruition.

Root, acorn or leaf, God has your life, and has planned your life, at His will, not our own. Live your life as God has planned and see the GLORY OF GOD, THANK YOU JESUS, THANK YOU MY FATHER IN HEAVEN, MY CREATOR!!!

As my root has proclaimed this season of Christmas for Christians by Christ Jesus being born as our Savior and Lord, I wish you all, roots of every religion, A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND THE LOVE GOD HAS FOR EACH MAN OF ALL MANKIND!!! Jesus Christ, God’s-sent Saviour to Christians, One Root of God’s Majestic Oak Tree, has proclaimed to all, “And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:10-14.

As we come to a close of another year which God has made and allowed us to live in and to be a part of it, let us all, in all religions, all of the roots and toes of God’s Majestic Oak Tree, live the way God planned from the beginning of time, before the sinful and all the unfavorable conditions, also created by God, entered into God’s plans which He planned for mankind: LET US ALL LIVE, ONE FOR ANOTHER, AND NOT ONE FOR OURSELVES! My desire, for all of mankind to live the way God wants us to live, and be rewarded in the time of the end, with God’s rewards to us all. Let us all say Merry Christmas, in many languages around God’s Majestic Oak Tree, as one, one with God!

My love to all, Merry Christmas,
Pastor Eddie
