THEME : ARE YOU FRUITFUL?
Memorise :
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. John 15:2
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 and ACTS 19:21-41
Message
The word "Be fruitful ," appear in the Bible for the
first time in Genesis 1:28. Although it came as a commandment, it can
also be taken as a blessing. Because it is a commandment, God expects
all His creation to comply with it by bearing fruit and multiplying
through self-reproduction. On the other hand, if taken as a blessing,
then it is established because when He speaks, it is done. His words
cannot pass away unfulfilled. In John 15:8, Jesus said that the father
is glorified when we bear fruit, and that by bearing much fruit, we
demonstrate that we are His disciples indeed. Consequently, God react to
fruitlessness the same way He react to rebellion, because failure to
bear fruit is rebellion against the commandment and purpose of God.
"And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found
nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on
thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away."
Mathew 21:19
The fig tree in today's Bible reading and the parable of the talents in
Mathew 25:14-30 both show that God is expectantly looking out for us to
bear fruit. They also reveal that God will judge out individual and
corporate performance by the quantity and quality of fruit we bear. God
is expecting us to bear fruit in the areas of soul wining , Holliness,
righteousness , in Love and Also in finance. It is time for a genuine
personal assessment for those who are bearing fruits, it is time to bear
much fruit. If you discover that you are not bearing fruit as expected.
God is giving a second chance . Be sure to make the best use of this
second chance by bearing fruit in earnest. I pray that in the Programme
of God, you will not be cut down or replaced in the mighty Name of
Jesus. You will surely fulfill your destiny in Jesus'Name.
To be
fruitful requires being genuine born-again and abiding in God.
Confessing your sin and given your life to Jesus ensures your
deliverance and transition from the size of the devil to the Kingdom of
God. Abiding in God means total submission to the will of God and
putting your trust in Him. this guarantees fruitfulness. As you do very
best to abide in God , He will give you the grace to bear much fruit to
the glory of His Name.
Prayer Point :
Father, please make me fruitful in every areas of my life in Jesus'Name.
