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”
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.
Father, help me to be a fruit bearing vessel in Your hand
