Be Fruitful

John 15:4

Remain in Me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me.

Vines are plants whose stem requires support as they cannot support themselves. They need to be attached to a tree, wall, or other structure. It normally has no function except as fuel for a fire. However, the good thing about a vine is it produces fruit. When vines are properly cared for, they can bear fruit that can be consumed and enjoyed by many people. 

God did not want His people to get burned like the vines and disappear just like that. God’s illustration about vines tells us to be attached to God and be fruitful. 

Likewise, God wants us to be fruitful and be a source of blessing to others. God does not want us to just appear religious. He is looking for fruitfulness from His people today.

When we are not fruitful, God is not glorified. It is important to always be attached and dependent on God, and He will definitely help you to be fruitful and to bless others through your life. 

Prayer

Dear God, I surrender to You wholeheartedly so that I can be fruitful, be a blessing to others and let others see You in me. Amen.
