And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Matthew 3:10 (NKJV)
Every seed has been endowed with the ability to grow, flourish and then reproduce multiple of its kind. It is part of the sacred mandate given at creation that must be fulfilled in the time space we live here on earth. Our lifestyles, way of life and actions are part of the fruit bearing process. Any lifestyle or way of life that will not bring increase and fulfill this divine mandate comes short on its potential and defeats its very essence of creation in the first place.
The ax is laid to the root of every soul. Each soul must bear good fruits, fruits of righteousness, worthy of the Kingdom so we can be spared of being cut down for eternity.

The Father's Business
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Matthew 11:12 (NKJV)
The above scripture resonates with the ferocity, fierceness and urgency of now in today's world. The kingdom of heaven suffers violence and is not taken by timidity, nor with a siddon-look (Sit down and look) approach. Rather it is taken with force. Our world is hounded on all sides with old and recycled failed gimmicks and lies, kingdoms are re-positioning themselves and aggressively pursuing their agenda with passion and commitment. Can the believer stay aloof and stand akimbo thinking the Kingdom of heaven will reign here without raising a finger? Far from it.
Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:12-14 (NKJV)
The alternative kingdoms will not let down and are relentless. Believers like Apostle Paul did, ought not opt for slumber nor sleep. As we count down to the end of the year and usher in the new year, we must be about our Father's business.
