Be Fruitful


Anchor Scripture: “. . . therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” – Matthew 3: 10

Scripture References: Matthew 3: 1- 10; Luke 3: 7 - 9; Revelations 20: 11 - 15

Admonition
Greetings from the Throne of Grace!

I once worshipped with a prosperity preaching church where fruitfulness was conceived and preached by the big bishop as having all the trimmings of life. This is the kind of lies that most of us like. That is why such churches are always packed full because we want those things that will later be consumed by fire, but not the indestructible salvation of God which will purchase a mansion for us in the coming new Jerusalem. But we thank God for His Spirit of Truth that has come to dispel all the lies and heresies of these workers of iniquity who preach the other gospel.

My forefathers were agrarian and so I know quite a lot about farming. And one the salient truth about farming is that farmers, either mechanized or subsistence, do it in order to reap crops (fruits). These crops are the rewards of the farmers’ labour for the period of farming, and whenever these rewards are not forthcoming, farmers are never happy.

In the same vein, God created us and had mercy on us after the Fall of man in Eden by sending Jesus Christ to die for our sins so that we may regain the nature of God that we lost through sin, by which we become new creatures (2 Cor. 5: 17). God expects that just as Jesus Christ disciple you (if you are truly saved, and not just a nominal Christian), you too will disciple others, and bring them into the Kingdom of God.

As a child of God, if you refused to be fruitful, our anchor Scripture this morning warns of an impending hewing down; I pray that will not be your portion in Jesus’ name, amen. But sincerely speaking, God is interested in our fruitfulness for the Kingdom. In John 15: 6, Jesus Christ repeated and expanded this Word, saying, that such a branch will be not only be hewn down, but will also be cast into fire. Again, that will not be your portion in Jesus’ name, amen.

As we round off today, brethren, be not deceived, being unfruitful is a sin and could cause a supposed child of God to lose heaven; that is why the Master mentioned being cast into fire and burnt in John 15: 6. So, go out and win souls for Christ into the Kingdom of God!

Till tomorrow when we shall meet again on this beautiful journey of FINISHING STRONG together, keep keeping on in Him!

Hold On To Your Faith

Anchor Scripture: “ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:” – Job 13: 15a Scripture References: Job 23: 8 – 12 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Another word for faith is TRUST. So, this morning, God is calling us to trust Him whatever our situations might be. The natural man will instinctually try as hard as possible to avoid pains and discomforts. However, the book of Job 5: 7 speaks a truth that is a common heritage of all humans. It says, “ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.” And Job 14: 1 corroborates this truth, saying,  “ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” These are truth which no man has been able to disprove. Resting on these Scriptures, I do tell people during Bible classes that there is no man without his own trouble, no matter how little . And this is true irrespective of whom you are, what you have and or where you were born; we all have our own measures of troubles. The pro

UNDERSTANDING THE WILL OF GOD: Lean Not On Your Own Understanding

Anchor Scripture: Isaiah 55:8   For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”   Focus Scripture: “ Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” – Proverbs 3: 5 Scripture Reference: Numbers 14: 39 - 45 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit made known to us that what is called the Will of God is God’s plan or Wish for us as His children, and that these cannot be changed by anyone or anything if we stick with Him. Sometimes, we tend to believe in ourselves because of some things such as talents, ability, resources, knowledge and or wisdom. Because of these things and many more, we take decisions without honouring God in our thoughts. At the end, God makes a mess of whatever venture we embarked on. Such was the Israelites in Numbers 14: 39 - 45. As said yesterday, just as each man has a thought or will for themselves, so is God for every man.

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Walk in the Spirit

Anchor Scripture: Romans 8: 1 “ There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”  Focus Scripture: “ This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. ” –Galatians 5: 16 Scripture References: John 3: 1 – 8, 16 - 19; Romans 1: 18 – 32, 1 – 14; Galatians 5: 16 – 26; 1 John 2: 15 - 17 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Yesterday, the Holy Spirit of God admonished us to watch the companies we keep because our association with them could make us do things that are contrary to the Kingdom’s choice. And an example was given of Jehoshaphat. May God help us in Jesus name, amen. Today, we are being told to “Walk in the Spirit”. The Holy Spirit was given to us as Guardian to help and keep us in and on the way to the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit is a teacher, meant to teach us right from wrong and He helps us in making the right choices. Most often,
