What fruit does God want to see in our lives?

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Dear friends, I welcome you today to the column of our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”! The last time we talked about how God is glorified when we bear much fruit. When we talk about fruit, we can mean different things. So what did God mean when He said: «I want you to bear much fruit»? You cannot bear fruit if you do not know what God means by it and what He expects of you. So what fruit does God want to see in our lives? 
  1. The souls of the people that have repented and come back to God.
Every person that has come back to God is like a fruit. Every repented soul is the product of someone’s fruit that before God. God wants to see as many people as possible meeting Jesus and making Him the Lord of their lives through you. When we help people to meet Jesus and accept His lordship, we bear fruit that glorify God. When the Bible talks about Jesus, it says that His life was the light of people: 
 «In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it» (John, 1:4-5).
 But in John, Chapter 1 we read that there was another man called John the Baptist who came to testify of the Light, that is of Jesus so that people would believe in Him: 
 «There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world» (John, 1:6-9).
 Jesus came from heaven as the true Light in order to give light to every man coming into the world. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. He came to give us life and life more abundant. He came to seek and save the lost. we know the that until a person is reconciled with God and believes in Him, he lives in darkness and under the authority of the devil. A man without God is eternally lost. Yet how can one believe if he has not heard; and how can he hear if nobody preaches or declare who God is to him? 
«For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For „whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.” How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: „How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”» (Romans, 10: 12-15).
 What is the Lord saying to us in the above passage? He wants every disciple of His to be active in preaching the gospel to the unsaved world. God wants the unbelievers to believe, call upon the name of the Lord and be saved. Jesus is the Light of the world; He walks among the people and desires to deliver them from the burden of sin and addiction. Jesus wants to give light to every person who comes to Him. But every disciple of Christ must use every opportunity to bear witness of the Light to the world just like John the Baptist did. God’s desire is to see as many people as possible coming to Jesus through us: 
 «This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe» (John, 1:7).
 You have come into the Kingdom of God «to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe». Say it out loud: «I live in order to bear witness of the Light – of Jesus so that all through me might believe in Him». Bring the light of God into every place where you go and glorify God through it! Till tomorrow!May God bless every one of you!Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    There are two options for the future. First option is what I call the predictable future. We must carefully look at our past and present. When thinking of the future we must realize that if we don’t change the things we do every day then it will be easy to predict our future, – the future won’t be any different than the present. If we do not make any changes today, then tomorrow we will have the same results; we will live in the same conditions, if not worse.

    “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.”
