FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO-FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING-FRUIT BEARING

FRUITFULNESS – FROM A NO-FRUIT BEARING TO AN ABIDING-FRUIT BEARING: ONLY MADE POSSIBLE BY ABIDING IN GOD’S LOVE AND ABIDING IN HIS WORD!

Desiring to be FRUITFUL? Desiring to ensure and be assured in FRUITFULNESS? Desiring to MATURE and be MATURING in FRUIT bearing? Desiring to abound in ABIDING FRUIT Bearing? That’s all possible in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS. Our Heavenly Father wants you in Christ Jesus stead to THRIVE and not to SURVIVE or be a SURVIVAL in doing life and living godly in His grace in Christ Jesus stead. He wants you to be able to live meaningfully fulfilled in all you do, in LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Hence, there’s the need for PURPOSEFUL and MEANINGFUL living, in order to ensure FRUITFULNESS to THRIVE, toward a FULFILLING life.

PURPOSEFUL LIVING comes by ABIDING In God’s LOVE which is secured in ABIDING in His WORD. It therefore means, that as you ABIDE in God’s WORD, you will THRIVE in phases. Doing life are in PHASES just as men are in SIZES. However, SIZE only depends on how more or much one can take on the various PHASES that one encounters in the course and cause of time in doing life. It’s at this LIFE PHASES state, that the definition as to whether one is either going to THRIVE or be a SURVIVAL of the fittest as sometimes acclaimed. The phases in God’s BLESSEDNESS are culled from the Holy Writ of John 15:1-16, and every phase are very vital and important indeed. Herein are these PHASES:

1. A NO FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
2. A FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
3. A MORE FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 1-2
4. A MUCH FRUIT bearing stage – Vs 5, 8
5. And an ABIDING FRUIT stage – Vs 16

THRIVING is an essence of God as in the above phases; and it must be noted that God takes one through the PHASES so that one can be able to be FRUITFUL, that’s FRUIT BEARING; more so, that one can eventually earn or attain to such MATURITY in God’s enabling GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

I pray you will THRIVE through each PHASE state with ease in grace; and by abiding in God’s LOVE and His WORD, you will in LIFE and GRACE, ABIDE in FRUITFULNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And may this SCRIPTURAL PRAYERS of Philippians 1:9-11 and Ephesians 3:14-19, ABOUND with you as written:

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED with might through His Spirit in the INNER man, 17 that Christ may DWELL in your hearts through faith; that you, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHICH PASSES KNOWLEDGE; that you may be FILLED with all the FULLNESS of God” Ephesians 3:14-19 NKJV.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“I am the TRUE VINE, and my Father is the HUSBANDMAN. 2 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. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 ABIDE in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it ABIDE in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth MUCH FRUIT: for without me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man ABIDE not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye ABIDE in me, and my WORDS ABIDE in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT; so shall ye be my disciples. 9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall ABIDE IN MY LOVE; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and ABIDE IN HIS LOVE. 11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might REMAIN (ABIDE) in you, and that your joy might be full. 12 This is my commandment, That ye LOVE one another, as I have LOVED you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. 14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye have not CHOSEN me, but I have CHOSEN you, and ORDAINED (APPOINTED) you, that ye should go and bring FORTH FRUIT, and that your FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN (ABIDE, ABOUND): that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” John 15:1-16 (Emphasis Mine).

“And this I pray, that your love may ABOUND yet more and more IN KNOWLEDGE and IN ALL JUDGMENT; 10 that ye may APPROVE things that are excellent; that ye may be SINCERE and WITHOUT OFFENCE till the day of Christ; 11 BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God” Philippians 1:9-11.

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. 8 And God is ABLE TO MAKE ALL GRACE ABOUND toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may ABOUND to every good work: 9 (as it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever. 10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS;) 11 being ENRICHED in every thing to all BOUNTIFULNESS, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God” 2 Corinthians 9:7-11.

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (for the FRUIT of the Spirit is IN ALL GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND TRUTH;) 10 proving what is ACCEPTABLE unto the Lord” Ephesians 5:8-10.

“But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and GOOD FRUITS, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE of them that make peace” James 3:17-18.

“Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the PEACEABLE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS unto them which are EXERCISED thereby” Hebrews 12:11.
