FRUIT BEARING CHRISTIAN?
Memorise: The fruit of the
righteous is a tree of life And he that winneth souls is
wise. Proverbs 11:30
Read: John 15:1-7, 15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:
and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth
more fruit.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken
unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in
me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch,
and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are
burned.
7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall
ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Bible in one year: Joshua 23:24, Job 38:25-38
Jesus is the true source from
which anyone can receive spiritual and physical sustenance. It is only in
Christ Jesus that we can find peace. Fruitfulness and the essence of life. It
is by staying connected to Him that we can produce fruits. This is why we need
to allow God to work in us so that we can be productive in every aspect of our
lives. As we show an attitude of total obedience to God by bringing our lives
into conformity with what His Word says, we begin to bear fruits that are
profitable to God. To bear fruit in the vineyard of God therefore, there is a
need to allow the Word of God to permeate every aspect of our behaviour; it is
until then that our behaviour will begin to affect the lives of others.
Anyone who chooses to bear fruits
will eventually be happy that he did so, because in the time of harvest, he
will be the first partaker of the products of his wise decision. However, when
you fail to be fruitful in whatever the Lord has kept in your trust, there is
no way you can be blessed, and if you are not blessed, there is no way you can
increase. There are people who give so many excuses for not bearing fruits.
They complain about what others have and ignore what the Lord has blessed them
with. They focus on the exploits of others and ignore their own vineyard. You
can determine how far you want to go in life by the fruits you bear today. This
is the reason why you should not be weary in bearing good fruits.
“And let
us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint
not”
Galatians
6:9
The truth of the matter is that
whenever God entrusts a duty to your care and you handle it carelessly, you do
not only short-change yourself, you are also telling God that you are not
capable of making success out of that opportunity He has given to you. This is
why I am so passionate about soul winning, because I know the wisdom involved
in looking for those that have been tagged vagabonds and prodigals and bring
them back through grace to the Father. The greatest thing you can give to
anyone is not money but salvation, because this is what guarantees other
things. We have prayerfully identified people we can bring to the knowledge of
Christ.
Prayer Point
Father, help me to be a fruit bearing vessel in Your hand.
