God is looking for fruits in your life!

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
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

    “The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favour in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way – now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There in the tent,” he said. Then the Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him.”

  • Do You Hear What God Speaks? II

    Apart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings. Also feelings have a voice. But neither this voice always reflects what God says. Our feelings are changing, quite often they depend on outer factors – our mood, weather, how tired we are, etc. If we listen to our feelings only, our chances to constant success are eliminated.For instance, you can often feel lonely, weak, unloved, a failure, etc. Nevertheless, such feelings often do not accord with reality. If you are lead by your feelings and take them as truth, you will not be able to enjoy the life in abundance that God has prepared for you. God gives this life only to those who hear His voice and follow Him!

    We are not only created by God, we are also reworked or recreated by Jesus Christ. We are talking about the opportunity available to sinful people because Christ has come into this world. This is exactly what the letter to Ephesians says:«You were made alive when you were dead in transgressions and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.» (Ephesians 2:1-10).

    Someone might say, «I still do not have a job, even though I have prayed and the church has prayed for me». Or he might say, «Thank You, Lord, for the daily bread You give me». Do you see a difference? In the first case we hear murmuring, in the second – thanksgiving. Is it really necessary to thank God for the daily bread? Absolutely, since many people are forced to go hungry from day to day.

    «If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.» (John 15:7).There is a God´s promise in this scripture: «whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.» Which one of you had prayed for something but it was not given to you? I guess many of you had, so where is the problem? We often read in the Bible that people prayed and received the answer to their prayers. God Himself told us to pray, and He promised to answer our prayers.
