Are You Bearing Fruit?
“Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.”
Ezekiel 47:12

Ponder This
On a Sunday morning, I’ll preach and give an invitation. We’ll have some people come in the service to accept Christ and I’m grateful for that. But what would happen if, out of your life, was flowing a river of living water. What would happen if you were sharing Jesus Christ regularly?
Where the river flows, the fruit of the Spirit will show—love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, mercy, faith. Where these waters flow, these trees grow, and fruit will follow. It’ll be very obvious that you’re a child of God. When people meet you and walk away from you, whether they believe in you or like you or not, they will say that you are different because they see in you the fruit of the Spirit, which is really the character of Jesus Christ.
You may be in a place where you are weak—anemic in your faith. You have no power in your prayer life. You have no substance in your witness. You have no great authority in your spiritual warfare. Very frankly, you need to be healed. The secret to healing is the Holy Spirit. Are you willing to humble yourself before God? We need to pray and ask God to make us humble, making less of us and more of His Spirit in us.
- How have you seen God bring fruit from your faith?
- Where is your faith weak? Have you come humbly to God for the work of His Spirit? Explain.
Practice This
Talk to Christians you admire and ask where they have seen God bring fruit in their faith.
