How the Holy Spirit Works Inside You to Bear Fruits

June 2 – Daily Devotional by David Olatona – The Holy Spirit & Bearing Fruits

Main Text:
John 15:1-11

Watchword:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 NIV

Some people say, “I witness for Christ by living a good life”; but it is not enough to live a good life because many non-Christians live fine, moral, ethical lives too just like Cornelius in Act 10:1-8. According to the Lord Jesus, the only way to demonstrate that you are truly following Him is to produce fruit, which includes introducing others to our Savior. John 15:8

And the only way you can produce fruit is through the power of the Holy Spirit. Our Savior came to “seek and to save the lost,” and He has “chosen and ordained” you to share the good news of His love and forgiveness with everyone, everywhere.

To fail to witness for Christ with your lips is to disobey the command just as much as to fail to witness for Him by living a holy life. In neither case the disobedient believer cannot expect God to control and empower his life, nor can he experience the reality of God’s presence and blessing.

Confession
I am a soldier of the Lord, i will lead many to God and work to populate the Kingdom of HIS dear son.

Prayer
Cast me not away O’God, help me to win souls for you so that my branch will not be cut off from the Tree of Life which is Christ Jesus.
