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!

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 of...

AVOID CONDEMNATION: Stop Impersonating

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: “ For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness .” – Romans 1: 18 Scripture References: Matthew 7: 21 - 23; John 1: 12 – 13, 3: 1 - 7; Acts 19: 1 – 6, 11 – 20; Romans 1: 18 – 32; 2 Corinthians 13: 4 - 10 Admonition Greetings from the Throne of Grace! Our God is good and gracious towards us in that He has hidden nothing about Himself from us.

The Holy Spirit mentioned on Wednesday that many Christians live on the assumption that they are born-ag...

BEWARE OF BALAAM'S DOCTRINE

Anchor Scripture: “. . . Verily when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.” – 1 Corinthians 9: 18 Scripture References: Numbers 22: 1 – 7; 1 Corinthians 9: 1 –27; Matthew 10: 7 - 8 The Balaam’s doctrine is it that encourages children of God to do the work of God for carnal rewards. And the children of God caught up in the web of Balaam’s doctrine are those who preach the Gospel of Christ for one reward or the other. Such “servants of God” use a lot of scriptures to spiritualize and legalize their collections of material and carnal rewards from the congregation. However, we thank God for servants of God like Apostle Paul, who really followed the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in that he refused to abuse the authority he had over his congregations by which he could have become rich and wealthy as many of our ministers today, for Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 10: 7 - 8 thus: “ And as ye go, pre...
