MEMORISE: Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that
beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2...
MESSAGE
The word "Be fruitful," appear in the Bible for the first time in Genesis 1:28. Although it came as a commandment, it can also be taken as a blessing. Because it is a commandment, God expects all His creation to comply with it by bearing fruit and multiplying through self-reproduction. On the other hand, if taken as a blessing, then it is established because when He speaks, it is done. His words cannot pass away unfulfilled. In John 15:8, Jesus said that the father is glorified when we bear fruit, and that by bearing much fruit, we demonstrate that we are His disciples indeed. Consequently, God react to fruitlessness the same way He react to rebellion, because failure to bear fruit is rebellion against the commandment and purpose of God. "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away." Mathew 21:19. The fig tree in today's Bible reading and the parable of the talents in Mathew 25:14-30 both show that God is expectantly looking out for us to bear fruit. They also reveal that God will judge out individual and corporate performance by the quantity and quality of fruit we bear. God is expecting us to bear fruit in the areas of soul wining, Holiness, righteousness, in Love and Also in finance. It is time for a genuine personal assessment for those who are bearing fruits, it is time to bear much fruit. If you discover that you are not bearing fruit as expected. God is giving a second chance . Be sure to make the best use of this second chance by bearing fruit in earnest. I pray that in the Programme of God, you will not be cut down or replaced in the mighty Name of Jesus. You will surely fulfil your destiny in Jesus' Name. To be fruitful requires being genuinely born-again and abiding in God. Confessing your sin and given your life to Jesus ensures your deliverance and transition from the size of the devil to theKingdom

13:6-9.
6. He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. 7. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? 8. And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9.And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.
