God is looking for fruits in your life!

Good day, dear friends! I praise God for another opportunity to share the wisdom from God with you. As we discussed earlier, everything God does in your life, He does for the sole purpose, namely, to make us bear good fruits that would reflect His nature, wisdom and strength. We glorify His Name by bearing the good fruits. Bearing no fruits and leaving everything God has granted us with intact we will lose everything. When such thing happens, the anointment of the Holy Spirit disappears then such person begins to rely only on his own strength; as a result he lives in his weakness instead of living in the power of God, foolishness replaces wisdom in his life while the safe ground turns into vulnerability. So, God is looking for fruits in your life! Many of you are already bearing fruits for the Kingdom of Heaven. You are looking at your life and say: “Thanks God, I am bearing fruits that I even can demonstrate to other people.” That’s all right, but Jesus told us about another level where you can multiply your fruits even more. Maybe you are bearing fruits that are changing your life and people around you can testify about these things happen. Perhaps, many people who know what kind of person you were earlier now can notice drastic, positive changes in your life since you have turned to God. Probably, certain qualities of your character have changed or you speak different to the way you used to in the past. Maybe you think or act different way. You might have even come closer to God than ever before. You may have fruits of saved souls – people who repented because of the fellowship with you and because they noticed changes in your life. Regardless of all these things Jesus says you may bear even more fruits. In what way you might ask! More means more than you already bear today. We must have exactly this kind of desire. We have to aspire towards this – to bear fruits. Self-satisfaction is one of main enemies than becomes an obstacle to fruitful life. A person is self-satisfied when he or she is happy with what has been achieved in his or her life. When person is happy with what has already been achieved he stops moving forward. Sometimes, your success or achievements become a most difficult problem or even a danger in your life. It becomes more difficult to move forward when we begin installing monuments to our achievements. God wants us not to watch our achievements nor stop at it. He doesn’t want us to retire nor to take a holiday, instead His desire for us is to constantly move forward, bearing more and more fruits. Besides, we are capable of doing that, because we are in Christ Jesus. Pronounce the following words if you desire to bear many fruits for God in your life. 
«Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»
 The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility. Apostle Paul says: 
«Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus. Brothers, I don’t regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus». (Philippians 3:12-14).
 Having had the desire to have more than he already possessed, Paul was constantly moving forward. If some people had achieved the level of fertility Paul had, they would rather install a huge monument to themselves and would be doing nothing until the second coming of Christ. Meanwhile, Paul walked in Spirit and enjoyed special power from God. He was a fruitful apostle of Jesus Christ. Paul had significant spiritual achievements, nevertheless, he never considered himself as made perfect. He had a desire to constantly grow and bear more fruits for God. You can learn these things from apostle Paul. Never stop stretching forward but grow up and bear fruits for God! Let’s continue tomorrow!God bless each of you and each of your relatives!Rufus Adjiboje, pastor

  • What are you doing with your talent?

    I pray that all of us would hear this not only with our ears, but with our hearts. This parable of Jesus is about the Kingdom of God. One of the things Jesus taught intensively was the Kingdom of God. And there were serious reasons for it. The kingdoms of this earth will pass away, and a new Kingdom will come – the Kingdom of God. Jesus brought God’s Kingdom to the earth, and He desires us to know this Kingdom, seeking it and living in it. It says in the Bible that first of all we must seek the Kingdom and its righteousness. It is not that easy, because there is another kingdom that opposes God and pulls our hearts. That is why Jesus spoke intensively about God’s Kingdom, and almost all of His parables are about God’s Kingdom.

    «..for You (God) have magnified Your word above all Your name» (Psalm 138:2b).We are the children of God, created in the image and after the likeness of God. If our God takes responsibility for what He has said, He expects the same from us. Besides, He does not mean for us to do it on our own; He has sent to us the Helper, Teacher, Comforter and Advocate – the Holy Spirit to be with us at all times.

    «Set your mind on things above» (Colossians, 3:2).But you cannot mentally switch and start thinking about the things above, because it is a process. It depends on your lifestyle. So Jesus tells us to invest ourselves and our treasures into the Kingdom of God, because where your treasures are, your heart will be also. If you continuously think on how you can build God’s Kingdom, – investing your finances, time, strength and effort into it, – then your heart will also be there. It is a law: your heart will be where your treasures are.

For he who sows in his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life» (Galatians, 6:7-8).«For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live»(Romans, 8: 13)
  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.
