John 15:1-8
1 Jesus said, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. 2 He cuts off every branch of mine that does not produce fruit. He also trims every branch that produces fruit to prepare it to produce even more. 3 You have already been prepared to produce more fruit by the teaching I have given you. 4 Stay joined to me and I will stay joined to you. No branch can produce fruit alone. It must stay connected to the vine. It is the same with you. You cannot produce fruit alone. You must stay joined to me.
5 “I am the vine, and you are the branches. If you stay joined to me, and I to you, you will produce plenty of fruit. But separated from me you won’t be able to do anything. 6 If you don’t stay joined to me, you will be like a branch that has been thrown out and has dried up. All the dead branches like that are gathered up, thrown into the fire and burned. 7 Stay joined together with me, and follow my teachings. If you do this, you can ask for anything you want, and it will be given to you. 8 Show that you are my followers by producing much fruit. This will bring honor to my Father.
MFM Daily Devotional 22nd February 2023 MESSAGE
God’s desire is for us to bring forth fruits and more fruits. But what kind of fruit are we called to bear? We are called to bear the fruit of Christian character and godly conduct.
What does it mean to bear fruit? In John 15:2, the Bible states that every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth. As Christians, we should be willing to endure some painful seasons of our lives. Doing this makes us to become more productive for Him. This is called longsuffering.
There is always a reward on every fruit you produce spiritually. Bearing fruit enhances our spiritual growth. We must be always ready to remove anything that will not allow the fruit of the Spirit to manifest in our lives.
The book of Galatians 5:22-23 sums up the character that relates to the Holy Spirit and will result in bearing fruit in Christ. The Scriptural passage identifies the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness and faith.
Beloved, if you bear fruit, you will love people and win them to Christ. Jesus Christ is the Vine and we are His branches. John 15:9 encourages us to abide in Jesus because He loves us. Producing fruit is part of the commandments that the Lord Jesus Christ gave to us. He said, “I command you that you love one another.” Bearing fruit means loving other people. It also means letting the love which we constantly receive from Christ flow through us and to others for their benefits. When you produce much fruit, you bring nourishment and refreshment to others.
Many people benefit from Christians that produce godly fruits. Are you a fruit-bearing Christian? Do not relent! Keep being fruitful! If you have not been fruitful, I encourage you to be faithful to God and produce fruits for His kingdom.
