The kind of tree always determines the kind of fruit. Right people produce Right Things. Get the tree right and the fruit will be right.
The thought behind the quote
I want to remind you that God places great importance on BEING PLANTED, but not just being planted, but being planted in the house of the Lord.
God has some great and precious promises for those who are planted in His house.
“The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. Planted in the house of the LORD, They will flourish in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; [They are living memorials] to declare that the LORD is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” (PSALM 92:12-15 AMP)

- There are only two kinds of people: Givers and Takers. Givers are focused on God and others. They cause Unity in their relationships because their question is: 'What is in it for US?' They sow seed that multiplies into a harvest. They become miracle workers. Takers are focused on themselves and are self-preservationists. They cause die-vision in their relationships because their question is: 'What is in it for ME?'. 'Takers get all they can, can all they get, sit on the can and become‚"I can't" people'. They become miracle needers.
