THANK THE LORD FOR FRUIT

           Thank the Lord for the growth in your life.

John 15:5, I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

            We often hear, I am not the man I ought to be, but praise God I’m not the man I use to be! If there has been growth in our life, that’s exactly what we should be thanking the Lord for! I am reminded of 1 Corinthians 6:11 in which the Bible says, “And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” And such WERE some of you! Do you know why it is says, “were”, because you were washed… sanctified… and justified!!!! Hallelujah!

            Thank the Lord for the fruit in your life this morning!

FRUIT FOR YOUR LABORS

We are living in a day where the church needs to be gaining ground not backing down!

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

            The time to take a stand is now. There is no reason to slow down, only reasons to go forward. These reasons come in many different ages, nationalities, and two genders! But we cannot win the battles without being filled with the Spirit of God! In order to be filled we must be abiding in Jesus! We must be under the influence of God Himself! We do this by being submerged in the Word. We do this by being submitted to His Will. We do this by being sanctified to His Work!

            Want to be on fire for Jesus? Want to be producing fruit for the glory of God? Start off by GETTING UP, GETTING READY, and GOING TO YOUR CHURCH TODAY!

YOU CAN’T GET BLOOD OUT OF A TURNIP

Trust Christ and you shall live. The bloody sacrifice of Calvary is the only hope of sinners. –Spurgeon

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. Hebrews 9:22

Cain attempted to bypass the blood sacrifice for sin. If you leave Jesus and the Crucifixion out, you have missed the whole point of Him coming. (John 10:10) Cain was intentionally trying to deal with his sin his own way instead of how God said to deal with it. Many people today are trying to do the same thing. But just as Cain’s sacrifice was denied, one day, theirs will be also. The Lord will say, “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

How are you getting to Heaven? Is it by good works? Is it by lineage? Is it by social status? Friend, if you haven’t received Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour…your turnip is going to fail you!

Is it or isn't it?

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15

While sight seeing the other day we saw what appeared to be a light house. When we got a little closer we realized it was a water tower made to look like a light house. It was quite elaborate. Even to the point of having fake windows every so often up the piping to the tank at the top. 

Such it is wth false prophets; on the outside they walk, talk, and may even look like solid Christians. However, if you get a little closer and listen to what they are saying, you will notice real quick some things are missing from their message. What's that you ask? The fruit of the Spirit; "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23
