How To Bear Good Fruit Of The Spirit

ENJOY YOUR EASTER DOING THIS Easter season is a time to value our Christian life and to take accountability. This is the time to reflect if our life is worth the price Jesus paid for our redemption. It is the time to see if we are bearing fruit worth of repentance. For us to bear good fruits, we need a number of things in preparation. 1. A garden with good soil is very important. The soil contains a lot of the nutrients that cause the growth of the plants. There are tremendous differences between good soil and bad soil. We need to be spiritually receptive to allow the seeds of God’s word to grow and develop the way they should. Matthew 13:23 (NIV) - The one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 2. Death Brings Life. As seeds die to geminate, we must die to ourselves and our own desires and submit to God’s plan. In doing so, we will bear much fruit. John 12:24 (NKJV) Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. 3. Seeds and Fruit needs water in order to reach its fullest potential If you have a garden, you have surely realized that if only water it once a week during the summer months your harvest is going to be much smaller. On the other hand, if your plants are receiving frequent and consistent watering, the plants are going to be stronger and the fruit is going to be better. A man who walks in the counsel of the Lord….., and delights in His word…….”He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.” Psalm 1:1-3 {NKJV} 4. Pruning produces more fruit Pruning doesn’t make sense while you are doing it, but the results prove its effectiveness. God is an expert gardener and He knows which areas of our lives can be pruned to make us more effective. It does hurt, but the end result is very beautiful and rewarding. John 15:2 (NKJV) Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;[a] and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Let us take these 4 steps as we remember God’s gift of redemption from our sins. Let the word of God prepare us, let it germinate in our hearts and let it be water by daily reading it so that it can be able to prune us. Be blessed and have a wonderful, blessed and happy Easter in Jesus’ name. Your brother in Christ, Moses.
