Help Us Bear Fruits Oh God

“So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come” Psalm 71:18 (ESV)

Bible Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:18-19

God’s word continually reminds us of our responsibility as disciples of Jesus Christ: spread the gospel of Christ Jesus to the uttermost part of the earth (Matthew 28:19-20). The lives of Jesus Christ and the disciples clearly show how supporting others to become followers and disciples of Jesus Christ is key to the ministry of reconciliation. We are called to seek first the kingdom of God and its righteousness (Matthew 6:33)

Bearing fruit is important. Jesus puts it this way, “every branch in me [Jesus Christ] that bearethno fruit he [God] taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he [God] purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit” (John 15:2). According to God’s standard, our success is not measured based on people’s accolades, awards or accomplishments. Rather, our success is measured by how we are able to fulfil the ministry of reconciliation entrusted unto us. This means our success is based on our obedience, commitment, and devotion to God and to His plan and purpose for our lives. I truly desire we can make our ultimate goal to follow Christ’s injunction, “make disciples of all nations”. Remember, as we abide in Christ Jesus, we are bound to bear fruits of righteousness (John 15:5).

Action Point: Share the gospel of Christ Jesus to somebody today!

Be wholly Thine.
