Fruit Bearing Palm Tree 1968 - Part 1 — Bakht Singh

Praise the Lord. Now, we bring to you the message released by the Lord's servant, Brother Bhakta Singh, on 13th November 1968, during the All India Holy Convocation, gathering Sheldra Table in Hyderabad.

The Telugu translator is Brother K .N. Augustine and in Hindi by Brother Archibald Lopo from Ranchi. Ranchi 2. Kirtanalu Kambhai Rendu. It is a good thing to give thanks on the Lord and sing praises on thy name, O Most High.

May our living God speak to us through this song we are having almost every day. May our living God speak to us through this song we are having almost every day. May our living God speak to us through this song we are having almost every day.

Our loving Heavenly Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our loving Savior, we sing thy praise again and again. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our loving Savior, we sing thy praise again and again.

Seeking God's Guidance and Mercy

In this way, we accept that you are the only one who has given us this opportunity. Only if you speak to us, we will be able to express ourselves in the society. Only if you touch our lips with your tongue, we will be able to express ourselves in the society.

Only if you speak to us from your throne, we will be able to express ourselves in the society. O God, you have no right to waste the time of those who are here. O God, have mercy upon us. Every eye shall not upon thee.

They may know God loves men with God's help. But we believe in the living God. We believe in the loving God. We believe in the mighty God. We believe in the God of grace and mercy. And that's why we call upon thee again and again.

O God, come and visit us. Come, mighty God, unto all of us. O blessed God, show thy mercy unto us. Even though we have failed thee, we humble ourselves. O God, show thy mercy. Do not leave anything empty from thy presence.

We call upon thee, though not keeping well, but Ebenezer Ellis in Garney Hospital, Ambassador Isaac, and Mrs. Fonny, Sir Lucas Chase, Mrs. Elisha, Mrs. Sundaram, and Mrs. Barbick in Africa. Others are known to us.

Now we pray, everyone be met by thee. By faith we come unto the presence of the Lord. By faith we bind Satan. We pray in the name of the Lord. Psalm 92. Being brought to our attention on the very first gathering of this year's All India Holiday Convocation.

This entire gathering of the All India Society will be presented to us from the very beginning. And also to our songs again and again we are reminded of the same words. And through our songs again and again we are reminded of the same words.

But we don't think that we have the right to have any fixed plan beforehand. We are going to speak on the very same words every day throughout the Convocation. We have no plan. We have no plan. We have no plan.

We have no plan. In every Holi Convocation we print these badges which are worn by the people who stay on the dust maker path. By Convocation. In badge. In badge. No. No. Not that way. We give you badges for the Convocation.

And before we have the badges printed we pray for many many days to find God's message for the badge. We pray for many many days to find God's message for the badge. Even then we don't know how that word is going to be used in that period.

Even then we don't know how that word is going to be used in that period. And when we begin the Convocation we pray together again and again O Lord show us thy plan and thy message and thy messenger. We don't know who is going to speak that day.

We don't know who is going to speak that day. We don't know who is going to speak that day. We only go day by day. We only go day by day. But the Holy Spirit has been constraining us again and again to bring you the very same text from God's word.

And that's why we believe this is God's word to us these days. And we very humbly request you please write these words upon your heart. Whosoever you are our loving God wants you to become like a flourishing food bearing palm tree.

Whosoever we are a not ordinary palm tree a palm tree which is planted in the house of a living loving mighty God. Even though some of you may have never seen a palm tree even though some of you may have never seen a palm tree even though some of you may have never seen a palm tree you must have eaten the date also.

But that is a very common fruit. It is common in many parts of the world. And the fruit is, yes, can be preserved for many, many months, it is being sold everywhere. I even know, right from the roots of the tree, to the top of the tree, every part of it is useful.

Nothing is wasted. The roots, and the trunk, and the leaves, and the fruit, everything is useful. Even the stone of the days, the seed, are useful too. They ground it into powder, and feed the camels.

And you find how the camels have to travel in desert, for many, many miles, where there is no food of any kind. You don't know, when they travel in the desert, they travel all day without water or food.

Again you find the leaves of the tree remain green for all the year. It may be a cold weather or a hot weather. May be a stormy weather, other weather. The leaves remain green, and the tree goes on yielding good fruit till the end.

Then I become old. It goes on yielding, yielding, yielding fruit. And also goes on yielding for many, many years. Even though there is no rain, yet it goes on yielding. Even though there is no rain, yet it goes on yielding.

It is such a wonderful tree. And the only tree which provides some shade, and some comfort, some enjoyment, to travel in desert for many, many miles. And that's why our God wants us, for you and me, to be like a flourishing, food-bearing, food-bearing palm tree.

Biblical Prosperity and Fruitfulness

And then we saw how the meaning flourished in Bible means, English means, success and prosperity. Success and prosperity. Success and prosperity. As you see in Joshua and chapter one, verse eight. And that is a common desire in every man's heart.

Success and prosperity. So you may be, I am sure, you must have attitude towards someone, some other. As children, we want to be successful in exams. Even though we don't study very hard, even though children don't work very hard, playing, playing all the time.

Only studying for the two days before the exam. Studying whole day, whole night till midnight. Even though they deserve a very big zero for their paper, they have the false hope. Maybe examiner may be very kind and give me pass mark 30 percent.

Maybe examiner may be very kind and give me pass mark 30 percent. Sometimes they give cash, sometimes they give fruits. Sometimes they give cash, sometimes they give fruits. They are Christian teachers, they give bribe on Christmas day, Easter day.

Hindu teachers, they give on Diwali day. Why? They want success. Even though they don't deserve it. They want success. There is a common desire in every man's heart. Same way you want prosperity. If you are earning now 35 rupees per month, if you are earning now 35 rupees per month, you want 45 months.

If you give 45 rupees, you want 55 rupees. If you get 55 rupees per month, you want 75 rupees. If you give 75 rupees per month, you want 100 rupees per month. Then you want 200 rupees. Then 500 rupees.

Then 1000 rupees. Then 3000 rupees. You want prosperity. When you begin your married life, God gives us only one room and furniture. After two years, we have two rooms and one chair. After a few years, you will find the same assets.

Prosperity. Then you will find never satisfied. Dear God, what is telling us? Prosperity. True success will give you everlasting joy and everlasting peace. True prosperity will give you full satisfaction.

That will be for eternity. And yet, how foolish we are in not receiving that gift of God. Similarly, by having that gift of God, we become very, very fruitful like a palm tree. Just as the roots, and the trunks, and the leaves, and the fruits of the tree are fully useful, there is nothing wasted.

And that's how our life can be. Similarly, our time, our money, energy can become fully fruitful. Nothing wasted. Count the word of God. The Lord just says, do not like wasted. He never likes wasted. As you see it's in John Gospel.

Christ's Command to Waste Nothing

And chapter six. And verse twelve. When they were filled, he said unto disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, let nothing be lost. In John chapter six, verse twelve. He is saying, he says, nothing be lost or wasted.

You see how our Lord Jesus Christ has fed the multitude with barley and two-fiddle. You see how our Lord Jesus Christ has fed the multitude with barley and two-fiddle. It's only barley. You know, the barley is the most poor man's food.

If anyone in their extreme poverty, if possible, they will never eat barley. It's only when they get famine, only then they will be compelled to eat barley. It's only when they get famine, only then they will be compelled to eat barley.

Those who are very, very poor, only they eat the barley bread. Those who are very, very poor, only they eat the barley bread. Our Lord fed the multitude that day with two-fiddle. They had no leaves to feed them for the bread or any plate.

Rather eating the bread, the crumbs were falling on the ground. No, no, they fell on the ground. Only the tiny fragments were falling on the ground. When they were filled, the Lord Jesus Christ told his disciples, Go and gather the fragments, then nothing will be lost.

Now only the fragments are in the body. They have no use. Yet the Lord is saying, go and gather them. Now what happened to those fragments? Where did they go? They can't remain there for the birds. Otherwise why waste time in gathering them?

Our Lord said, gather them. Don't waste them. Where did they go? The multitude were slaughtered for three days. And they went back home. They had to meet angry mother, angry father, angry husband, angry wife.

Where were you for three days? You forgot your home? You forgot your shop? You forgot your wife? And your children? Where were you? Three days? They could not come in among us. Please see for yourself.

That's where we have been. Because those fragments were blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ, they became more tasty than biryani. We might purchase. The Lord Jesus Christ does not like wasted. But how many of us waste our time every day?

Waste our money every month? Our energy almost every day. Generally, I see people having food, can't visit them. And some people say, please give me little more. Still more. But when they start eating, the stomach says, I am full, I am full.

They go on struggling. The master says, Take it more, take it more, it's free. Take it, take it, take it. But again the stomach says, My master, I am very sorry. I am not your master. They leave behind their food.

It is wasted. They don't know it. Just as many people waste their food that way, same way they waste their time every day, and money every day, and every day. How many men are spending their money in shameful pleasures?

How many women, how many wives waste their money every month because of jealousy, or greed, or covetousness? They see a neighbor's wife having a very nice sari. Then the husband gets the pay. The wife is very sweet that day.

The wife is very nice and sweet. My dear husband, will you give me 35 rupees? Why? I want that sari. If he will say no, then for a full one week, strike. Husband has to eat. And that's how they waste money.

They afford it and they buy it. They waste more than what is necessary. You find many Christians, many believers in that today. Because they do not know how to spend their money and time properly. Because they do not know how to spend their money and time properly.

Spending hours in ordinary silly conversations. Looking this way and that way, doing nothing. Looking this way and that way, doing nothing. What's your life? Will you say truthfully, honestly, sincerely and joyfully that your life is abundantly and fully fruitful like a palm tree?

Will you say truthfully, honestly, sincerely and joyfully that your life is abundantly and fully fruitful like a palm tree? If not, be honest and confess it. And say, Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me and forgive me.

And make my life abundantly fruitful like a palm tree. And make my life abundantly fruitful like a palm tree. I will be victorious in my own way. And I will be victorious in my own way. Now God will tell us, what are the causes which will make our life barren and how we can become fruitful.

Now God will tell us, what are the causes which will make our life barren and how we can become fruitful. There is a town called Jericho. There is a town called Jericho. The meaning of Jericho is the city of the palm trees.

The meaning of Jericho is the city of the palm trees. Do you happen to go to Palestine sometime? Do you happen to go to Palestine sometime? Can you be sure you see Jericho? You find there all round desert and barrenness for miles and miles.

You find there all round desert and barrenness for miles and miles. Hills are barren, land is barren for miles and miles. But when you enter Jericho, you see beautiful palm trees all over the city. Now can you see from God's word again, how did that city become barren and how did it eventually become fruitful.

Now can you see from God's word again, how did that city become barren and how did it eventually become fruitful. Please see 2nd book of Kings. Please see 2nd book of Kings. And from 2nd chapter. And from 2nd chapter.

From the verse 18. And the... that's all. Now the city of Jericho at that time, Now the city of Jericho at that time, You are told over here in God's word. The situation of the city was very pleasant, a very good sight.

And also very well planned, nice street, nice building, nice houses. Everything was good, the house was good, the road was good. Everything was rich, rich in money. But there was barren. Because the water was saltish or blackish.

They dug many wells, couldn't come up with any good water. That's why they could not grow there and they grew. They could not grow their grass or vegetables or fruits and trees. Very, very sad sight. It's good city, oneself, but barren.

Now maybe you are like the city of Jericho. Highly educated. Occupying high positions somewhere. Have plenty of money. But your life is in barren. You are living in your sins. In home strife. Husband going one way, wife going other way.

Children, young and rebellious. At a very young age, harming you still and defiling habits. No joy in your home, no peace in your home. You know it. You don't require anybody to give you any argument for it.

Your own heart tells you. Barren, completely barren. And you see how, by one small touch, whole city became fruitful. Russia was God's prophet. He said, bring me a new vessel, a new cruise. And put some salt inside.

For twenty. And he said, bring me a new cruise and put salt therein. For twenty one. And he went forth unto the spring of the water and cast the salt in the air. And said, thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters.

And he went forth unto the spring of the water and cast the salt in the air. And said, thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters. And he went forth unto the spring of the water and cast the salt in the air.

And said, thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters. That they may never die again. Just only a small vessel. Not a very big vessel. We don't know how many wells were there at that time. Giving only brackish water for many years.

Not every well began to spring, die, put bubbling. Now, every well is springing up. Every well is springing up. He put some salt in that vessel. To create the barrenness of the whole city for miles and miles.

He put some salt in that vessel. To create the barrenness of the whole city for miles and miles. To create the barrenness of the whole city for miles and miles. When I saw that for the first time a few years ago.

When I saw that for the first time a few years ago. When I saw the wonderful palm trees. When I saw the wonderful palm trees. What a sight of inspiration. What a sight of inspiration. The whole city is barren.

The whole city is barren. The whole city is barren. How did it become fruitful? How did it become fruitful? The whole city was barren. But it became fruitful. But it became fruitful. Look at the number.

Jericho's Walls, Pride, and Unbelief

Look at the number. Thirteen. Twenty-eight. Twenty-eight. Never let the people be strong, they have dwelt in the land. The cities are walled and very great. We saw the children of Anaklia. The city had a very high wall.

Very, very thick high wall. In the olden days, you had very high walls for protection. In the olden days, you had very high walls for protection. Even in Hyderabad, you find some parts old city, some of the old big walls.

Even in Hyderabad, you find some parts old city, some of the old big walls. But please, don't miss the meeting with Sadhguru. You will say, when he was talking about the walls of Hyderabad, let me go and see that old wall.

You can go on the 18th, but not the 14th. Jericho had high walls. Jericho had high walls. Very, very wealthy city. Inside, very strong men, big guys. In all these terms, they were prosperous. Futuristically, very, very poor.

Futuristically, they are backward. What's your tradition? Because of the pride, their city came under threat. Now, there is a true story. Even told the wall of Jericho. If you go and see, you will see, the old walls.

Now, as they obeyed God, and went on the city seven times, for only seven days, seven times, the walls fell down. But what's the seed? That's why, there was no seed. Number six. Number twenty. Number twenty.

The people shouted, in appeal to the trumpet, came apart, and the people shouted, the gate fell, the wall fell down flat. The wall fell flat. Falling, there was an earthquake at that time. Yes, the wall fell flat.

You find some trick, by this side, by the other side. Yes. I sit here. The wall fell flat. Now, some years ago, we actually dug out the very same site, of the same wall. I saw myself that day. Then I seen a very same thing happening, at the flat wall.

Very high wall. Very thick wall. It fell flat. Very thick wall. That's how, God broke their pride. In the same way, God broke their pride. That was the very first city of Jericho, which opposed the God's people, as they were coming into the promised land.

Even though they knew, God was with the people of God. God was with His people. Yet, they will not yield and surrender. They will not yield and surrender. Yet, they will not yield and surrender. Book of Joshua, and chapter 2, responsibly, about being justified, by a woman called Rahab, the harlot.

She was living on the wall of Jericho. She was living on the wall of Jericho. Now, the news of the victory of God's people, have reached Jericho. They have heard about the Red Sea being dried up, river Jordan being dried up.

River Jordan was not very far from Jericho, about 12 miles. River Jordan was not very far from Jericho, about 12 miles. Yet, they will not yield and surrender. Yet, they will not yield and surrender. Only one person, he heard about God, and God made a deal, and God made a deal, that he will be repented, and all should be submit in the house.

The message of Gospel, in chapter 1, and someone began to obey Rahab, and someone began to obey Ruth, and obeyed Jesse. Matthew 1 ,5. Now, you will find that the very same Palm tree, has been planted in the house of God.

The same is true for you. The name of this date has been inscribed in the name of the Lord. How much we are blessed. How much we are blessed. Other people because of their pride of their wealth, education, position, they became blind spiritually in darkness.

Other people because of their pride of their wealth, education, position, they became blind spiritually in darkness. How much we are blessed. How much we are blessed. How much we are blessed. But he humbled himself.

But he humbled himself. As he put on the living God. As he put on the living God. Became a member of the heavenly family. Became a member of the heavenly family. No more harlot. No more harlot. He was the grandmother of Boer.

He was the grandmother of Boer. As a great grandmother of King David. And you are also very, very great grandmother. Become also our grandmother. He became woman of God. Woman of God. As he put on the living God.

As he put on the living God. And then you became a member of God. Joshua chapter 6. And Hebrews 26. And Joshua chapter 6. And Hebrews 26. Because of their pride and stubbornness. Because of their pride and stubbornness.

They came in front of God. They were depending upon their high walls. And their joy and victory and protection. All of you are standing on a strong foundation of victory and domination. The government fell down only by faith.

Elisha, Spiritual Hindrances, and Unbelief

Now after many years, Elijah and Elisha are now coming into Jericho. Second king and second chieftain. And verse 5. And the son of the prophet said, Jericho came to Elijah and said to him, Lord will take away thy master from the head today.

And he asked, Yes, I know it. Hold you in your peace. And the son of the prophet said, Yes, I know it. Hold you in your peace. Verse 7. And fifteen men of the son of the prophet went and stood by Jordan.

And they stood by Jordan. Verse 8. And fifty men of the son of the prophet went and stood by Jordan. Just as Elijah knew God was going to take Elijah into heaven by burden. Just as Elijah knew God was going to take Elijah into heaven by burden.

Just as the other son of the prophet Jericho knew. Just as the other son of the prophet Jericho knew. But they won't obey. When they saw Elijah accompanying Elijah on the journey. When they saw Elijah accompanying Elijah on the journey.

These sons of the prophet tried to hinder Elijah from going to heaven. These sons of the prophet tried to hinder Elijah from going to heaven. Don't you know that he will be called to heaven? Don't you know that he will be called to heaven?

And he will leave you somewhere with bitterness. Why do you want to go with him? Why do you want to go with him? Even though Elijah was also their master. But these young men had no intention, no desire to follow him.

But these young men had no intention, no desire to follow him. At the same time, Elijah was also trying to hinder Elijah from going to heaven. At the same time, Elijah was also trying to hinder Elijah from going to heaven.

They themselves had no longing to follow Jesus. When they see you going, they hinder you. They make fun of you. They have no clock for these people there. They have no time, no clock. They have no time, no clock.

They have no time, no clock. He went on. Of these fifty men, they were standing by River Jordan. Elisha went along further. Beyond River Jordan, he saw Elijah being caught up in a whirlwind of heaven.

He saw Elijah's mental falling down. He turned and he said to the water of Jordan, it's parted. Now these fifty men, they went along. He saw Elijah. He saw Elijah. He saw Elijah. He saw Elijah. He saw Elijah.

He saw Elijah. Then Elijah said to him, first to the king, and they said unto him, behold now, there be with thy fifty strong men, let them go and pray thee. Sing thy master. Let us follow the venture.

Speak the Lord. Pick him up and cast him upon the mountain. Vahitla nili, ni daasuramena mahayadda eva ni manni balamagala varu naru, maa nila dayanchi, ni gurun veri mrakavari ni ponimu. Yehova atmadana yethi, oga parvata medana eno, loya andha eno, vesi undune mohani, mana vichesri.

Dholapa tabanu ne usse kaha, tum tere daasam ke paas pachas palwan purusahe, ve jaakar tere swami ka dhune, sambhav hai ki kya jaane yehova ke atma ne, uske uthaakar kisi pahad pa, o kisi tarai ve daal diya ho.

No doubt they had to admit, Ilaja, Ilaja, Sai Ilaja, to be havan. They said to him, we are going to give you fifty strong men. We will give you fifty strong men. You go and search for the body, Ilaja, in some mountain valley somewhere.

No doubt he went to heaven, but he can't go all the way. No doubt he went to heaven, but he can't go all the way. And God may have dropped the body somewhere else. By the permission of the Lord, we will go with you.

Search for the body. I have a very grand funeral after that. You find your friend also. Your friend same way. You find that lifetime they don't talk with you. Even though you are very, very ill, they never came to see you.

Even though you are very ill, they never came to see you. But when you die, they will come with the funeral. Poor man, very good man, very nice man, they will walk with the whole funeral. He is a funeral Christian.

Dead Christian. In darkness and shame and misery. Living a life of barrenness. They are the son of the prophet. They are the son of the prophet. But no faith. They have knowledge. No faith. How can the body go all the way to heaven?

It must have fallen somewhere. They have tried to create doubt in the mind of Elijah. Doubt. Unbelief. That's why Jericho became barren. I believe Jericho is barren. They have knowledge. Prosperity. High walls.

Very big buildings. Very strong body. But no faith. Unbelief. And doubt. Stop the word. Now we are very sorry. You saw was right. Elijah had gone to heaven. Now please have mercy upon us. Our city is barren.

Nice building, good road, high wall, but no water. All barren water. All barren water. And he put a salt inside. And pour that salt in a spring nearby. All the city. Everything everywhere. A new vessel.

And salt. The salt in the Bible speaks of everlasting life. In the Gospels, salt is the butter of a longer time, put salt inside. If you want to keep the butter for a long time, put more salt. That's how you can preserve the leather and the other things.

All kinds of other things. So start with the symbol of your life. Like a palm tree. Jesus Christ. Jesus, may I get up? I must want your salt. A little salt. Yes, it will blow money well. Joy and peace.

After that, eat out. That is awesome. Through your changed life, you will find many more. Joy and peace. Unchanged life can change many more lives. Has your life become like a palm tree? Completely entirely.

It can make you like a palm tree. You have no life. No winner. It can become like a palm tree. My faith in the heart that they have, that it's not with them, that I believe not, and he has seen the size.

That's it. But he was saved. And to our whole family was saved. And to them many more was saved. And to us many more was saved. Her name is recorded in the theology of the Lord Jesus Christ. And her name was mentioned in the Bible.

She died many years ago. She died many years ago. But till today, her name, her life, is bringing joy unto many hearts. Many are finding true faith to our life. She has been planted, planted in the house of God forever.

In the house of God. We live in this wonderful time. But now we request you, don't be like a dairy cow and unscrupulous. The city of prosperity, wealth, by a new vessel, sin has been removed. When these men became humble themselves and repented and believed on the word of God.

Repentance and the Call to Fruitful Living

Don't delay. Let us pray. Will you call Him and pray for a moment? God is speaking to you. Your life is barren and very unfruitful. This evening you want to become like a palm tree. You want to live completely for the past barrenness.

And give us magnificent portions of address. And also inside. Let me see. Is anybody else? If you have doubt, raise your hand. Is anybody else? Is anybody else? Is anybody else? Can you show your hand and receive please?

Is anybody else please? Our loving Heavenly Father, God of grace, Almighty God, in the name of Lord Jesus Christ, we are most gaily call upon thee for those who are now showing hand for prayer. We thank thee for thy word which hath entered their heart.

We pray that word may enter more deeply. As they have seen their condition and they have seen, may they confess every sin with thy help for thy glory. And that they may claim the blood for cleansing. And thy source of new life for transformation.

And like a new crew, they become a new creature. And by their chalice, many more health of body and water will be changed. And by one cruise, many springs in Jericho were transformed. And by these new vessels, many more homes will be blessed.

Heavenly doors will fill them. And they may just their body save us. To come thy heavenly palms in thy house like roots, like raven roots, healing everlasting food for eternity. By their words and by their deeds, by their thoughts and prayers, by their life and followership, now bless them.

We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless you. Amen.
