Ever Fruitful And Productive
I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the
Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear
fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off,
takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly
prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to
make it bear more and richer and more excellent
fruit (John 15:1-2 AMPC).
I saiah 32:15 says, “Until the spirit be poured
upon us from on high, and the wilderness be
a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a
forest.” The Spirit has been poured upon us from on
high. Now, He lives in us. You don’t need to struggle
to be successful, fruitful or productive. Your life, your
ministry or your home may look like a desert; your
finances may be below zero; what you need is a
new mindset. Start thinking success. Think increase.
Think growth, expansion, fruitfulness and productivity,
because it’s God’s will for you.
You might even say, “But my life is already so
fruitful; no dryness, everything is working out fine”;
there’s a greater glory: Your fruitful field can become
a forest! You can be more productive spiritually,
materially, financially, academically, etc. You can reach
and win more people with the Gospel.
That’s the life God wants you to live, where
you’re constantly increasing in relevance, fruitful and
productive in every good work, and increasing in
the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:10). Jesus said,
“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much
fruit; so shall ye be my disciples” (John 15:8). Our
fruitful and productive lives glorify God. It’s one of
the evidences of the presence of the Holy Spirit in our
lives. He brings in that grace that affects your life and
causes things to grow, increase, and expand.
Prayer
Dear Father, I rejoice for the presence of your Spirit in my
life, and the grace which causes the wilderness to be a fruitful
field, and the fruitful field to become a forest. I’m persistently
productive in every area of my life: in my job, in my finances,
in my academics, and in the Gospel. I walk worthy of you
always, pleasing you in all things, producing fruits and works of
righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
