When we talk about fruit, we can mean different things. So what did God mean when He said:<em>\u00a0\u00abI want you to bear much fruit\u00bb<\/em>?<em>\u00a0<\/em>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?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<ol>\r\n\t<li><strong>The souls of the people that have repented and come back to God.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nEvery person that has come back to God is like a fruit. Every repented soul is the product of someone&#8217;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.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhen the Bible talks about Jesus, it says that His life was the light of people:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u00abIn 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\u00bb\u00a0(John, 1:4-5).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBut 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:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u00abThere 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\u00bb\u00a0(John, 1:6-9).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJesus 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.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nYet how can one believe if he has not heard; and how can he hear if nobody preaches or declare who God is to him?\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00abFor there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For \u201ewhoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.\u201d 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: \u201eHow beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!\u201d\u00bb\u00a0(Romans, 10: 12-15).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nWhat 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.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nJesus 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\u2019s desire is to see as many people as possible coming to Jesus through us:\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00a0\u00abThis man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe\u00bb\u00a0(John, 1:7).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nYou have come into the Kingdom of God\u00a0<strong><em>\u00abto bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe\u00bb<\/em><\/strong>. Say it out loud:\u00a0<em>\u00abI live in order to bear witness of the Light \u2013 of Jesus so that all through me might believe in Him\u00bb.<\/em>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nBring the light of God into every place where you go and glorify God through it!\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nTill tomorrow!\r\n\r\nMay God bless every one of you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The souls of the people that have repented and come back to God.\r\nEvery person that has come back to God is like a fruit.
