ARE YOU FRUITFUL? (Teens) –Tuesday 2nd February 2016

ARE YOU FRUITFUL? (teenagers) 

Memorise: He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch

that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. John 15:2

Please Read: Luke 13:6-9, ⁶ He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.

⁷ Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?

⁸ And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it:

⁹ And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

Bible in one year: Jeremiah 24:25; Acts 19:21-41

MESSAGE!!!

The word ‘Be fruitful’ is a commandment and a blessing. God expect all His creation to have fruits. Jesus confirmed this in John 15:8 when He said that people that bear fruits are God’s disciples. The fig tree in today’s reading is expected to have fig fruits. We are expected to use our skills, talents, education, knowledge, wisdom and money to bless God’s people. When we do this, we will win more souls to the Kingdom

The parable of talents in Matthew 25:14-30 confirms this. You are never too young to use your talent so make good use of every opportunity that comes your way. For you to do this successfully, you need to be genuinely born-again. You must have a relationship with God: accept Him as your Saviour; live by His laws and desire to please Him always. As you do your best in these ways, He will give you the grace to produce many fruits to His glory.

Prayer Point

Father, please make me fruitful in every area of my life in Jesus’ name.
