Topic : Bear Good Fruits.
Memory Verse : Matthew 7:19. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Bible Reading :Matthew 7:16-18. Key Verse : v18.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Jesus was going through series of teachings when he began to talk about the narrow way that leads to life which few among many always choose in life and the broad way of life that many do prefer, which unfortunately leads to destruction. “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:15-16. There are not just only fake prophets that appear as sheep or that look so harmless and gentle, but are very dangerous just like prowling wolves ready to devour at any point in time given the slightest opportunity. There are also false brothers and sisters today. What makes people false is a wrong mindset about God and the kingdom, which turn them into opportunists. They are men that pretend to be believers without genuine encounter with the man of the cross. They appear before God simply because of what they think they stand to gain, not because they love him and appreciate what he did to redeem their souls.
We operate a kingdom that is service oriented. We were called out of the darkness of this world into God’s marvellous light, so that we can become the light just like the master himself. “Your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance, for how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? And who would light a lamp and then hide it in an obscure place? Instead, it’s placed where everyone in the house can benefit from its light. So don’t hide your light! Let it shine brightly before others, so that the commendable things you do will shine as light upon them, and then they will give their praise to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16 TPT. It’s all about what we do with opportunities that comes our way tp bless others. “Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.” Matthew 24:44-46.
Fruit bearing is all about the effect or impact we live behind when we are entrusted with sensitive things in family, society society and God’s kingdom. False men deceive, cheat, defraud and steal to satisfy their greed. We have to see ourselves not only as agents of light, but we need to understand that we have become the light of God pointing the way to many through our personal lives and testimonies. We are also salt that season and spice up the lives men around us by good works, which is proof that we have been with Christ Jesus. This is all about keeping trust of God and fellow men who allow us to be placed in sensitive positions. “But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,”
Matthew 24:48-50.
Prayer : Thank you Father God for raising me to bear good fruits. Help to use every opportunity that comes my way in impact everyone that comes my way positively in my lifetime. Thank you making me the light in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : 1 Samuel 1:1-28.
