Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

As I was thinking about the last question I asked yesterday, “Why am I not bearing any fruit?” A thought came to me: What if someone is in the process of producing those fruits? Surely, you don’t become the branch and suddenly start producing fruit.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 (BSB): “To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven:”

One of the reasons I am highlighting patience in bearing fruit is that we tend to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to those who are already enjoying the fruits they have produced, while we are still waiting for ours.  Also, before we jump to the conclusion that our brother or sister is not producing any fruit, can we ask which stage he or she is at in the process of producing fruit?

Takeaway: “Don’t let those who are eating their ripe harvest, pressure you into eating your seeds.” African Proverb

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!

Good day, good people! This is the day that the Lord has made; never forget that. Regardless of what you face in the morning, afternoon, or evening, this day to you and me is a gift, so let’s cherish it.

Today, I found myself asking if I am bearing fruit because it is possible to live a good life while not bearing any fruit. Therefore, it is important that whenever we get the time, we reflect on our fruitfulness.

Genesis 1:28 (ESV): And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

We were blessed to be fruitful. And if God wants us to be fruitful, yet we are not, can we stand tall and claim we are doing His will? The question to ask yourself is: what does fruitfulness look like? Because I don’t want to set any standard for you, one thing we can agree on is that being fruitful means you are bearing fruit, so bearing fruit is the evidence that you are fruitful.

Takeaway: Am I bearing fruit?  If so, what kind of fruit? If not, why am I not bearing any fruit?

Prayer: Abba, Father, we thank you in Jesus’ name, Ameni!
