MUCH IS ALSO EXPECTED!

MUCH IS ALSO EXPECTED!

God is not happy with a believer that does not bare fruits! In John 15:1-2, after Jesus noted that He is the Vine and we are the branches; He further stated that God takes away any branch in Him that has no fruit. The vine of a tree is what determines the production of the branches. If the vine has no nutrient, then you can’t expect fruits from the branches. If God takes away a branch, then it’s obviously because He expects the branch to have fruits – since the Vine always has nutrients.

Believers also carry the nature of a tree. Ps 1:3 tells us that “we shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water”. That also means that it should never come to a time when a believer will not have fruit, whether in season or out of season.

There’s a common scriptural saying that “by their fruit you shall know them”. And Matt 7:19 makes it clear that any tree that doesn’t bring forth good fruit shall be cast into the fire. This is why I believe that many Christians won’t make Heaven; not because they sinned, but because they didn’t bring forth good fruits.

A tree that has good fruits will naturally attract people to it. Also, a Christian that bares good fruits will draw multitudes, especially lost souls to himself. The reason why God is prospering the works of your hand is so that you can win the souls that patronize you to Him. Prov 11:30 explains that “the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, he that win souls is wise”. That could also mean that “the kind of result that a righteous man gets naturally compels people to come to him, but if he is wise, he’d win them over to God”.

Let me conclude with this; to whom much is given, much is also expected. If God increases my capacity to bare fruits, my audience will definitely increase. And if my audience increases, then more souls have to be reconnected to God. I believe that the reason why many Christians have not grown beyond where they are is because they don’t meet God’s expectation with what they have. May God give us understanding!

God bless you, I love you, and enjoy the rest of your week!
