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

  • Definitely write down the vision you receive from God!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    First of all, you need a revelation from God. Learning to recognise the voice of your Heavenly Father and getting to know Him as your best friend is vitally important. God is willing to give you wisdom, understanding and revelation in every sphere of your life. Though, when a revelation and wisdom are received from God, you have to write them down in whole. Then it becomes a spring of life, that gives breathe to you and brings hope that releases faith and trust on God in you.To write something down means to record the vision a paper. We have to put it down clearly, the way it makes sense to us later. Thus, we can bring our vision into reality, so that we can expect it and put our hopes upon. This is one of the methods how to cling with the vision together and dedicate yourself to fulfil it. Prophet Habakkuk reminds us about the importance of writing down the vision you have received from God.

  • But he who endures to the end shall be saved!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    The question arises why so many people start their walk with God but turn aside in one of the crossroads of life; they turn back to where they came from. It reminds me the story of Jewish people. For a long time this nation was in slavery in Egypt. They were burdened by hard work with no payment. The nation of Israel cried out to God, and God delivered them and brought them out of Egypt. They had to walk to the Promised Land. Every day they were getting closer to it. There were difficulties on their way; they had to flee some wrong things, avoid making wrong decisions, wrong relationships; they had to overcome grumbling and complaining. Israelites had to obtain more and more knowledge of God while heading towards their Promised Land.

  • Life is a test

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    Once we understand our life is a test, many questioned get solved by themselves and we can rejoice and enjoy our life. Those who understand that life is a test, they treat every difficult situation as an opportunity, not as an obstacle. The Bible often tells us how God tests His children. He is not doing it because He hates us nor because He wants to see our fall. Not at all! God puts us in test for few reasons. God blessed Abraham with a son first, then tested him asking to sacrifice his son on the altar. God allowed ordeals in Job’s life, then Job went through all that horror and bitterness.

  • We´ve been created to glorify God!

    If you had a polluted garment on even a brand new garment, what would you feel like? I am sure you would feel disgusted. This is exactly what those who try to please God through their good works without Christ feel. It doesn´t matter how many good works you do, God would never accept you unless you accept Jesus by faith. God´s peace enters your heart because you get to know Jesus and realise that in Him you are saved and accepted by God.

  • Walking in holiness, loving God and people will help us to change and transform into the likeness of Jesus Christ!

    «But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law». (Galatians 5:22-23).These are the changes God wants to make in us. He doesn´t want us to be people with “big head” and with “small heart”. Neither it´s His intention to see us as those who only hold a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. Bible invites us to turn away from such people.

  • How accountability helps us to change and grow spiritually?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Accountability is a sincere confession or opening of one’s secrets of his Christian walk to the others in the atmosphere of mutual trust. We are ready to give account of what we do with our lives, what we understand or do not understand, in what areas are weak or in need of assistance. When we are accountable we are willing to admit whether we are growing or not. We are able to give account of what we are learning in order to receive support, encouragement or correction.
