PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF BEARING SPIRITUAL FRUITS

TOPIC: PRINCIPLES AND PROCESS OF BEARING SPIRITUAL FRUITS

Written by Dr. Joel Dabbas

SCRIPTURE: Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much FRUIT- John 12:24

KEY THOUGHT: God wants you to move beyond been a seed to become a fruit

After you gave your life to Christ, the incorruptible seed of God was planted in you.  1 Peter 1:23 says that “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. “ This seed gave you a new nature; Gods nature.

The truth is that it is beautiful to have the seed of God in you but that is not enough. God wants you and I to convert that seed into fruits. God desires us to be fruitful not only physically but spiritually. God values fruitfulness  because that is the only way to confirm that your life has His seed. It is the only way to proof to the world and the devil that the seed of God is blossoming in you.

From our anchor Scripture Jesus said that a fruitless seed remains alone. The meaning of this is that a person who becomes born again and doesn't bear fruit is by himself. That individual remains like a new model car that has not been used. Even if it is twenty years old so long as that car is not driven (exercised) it remains by itself and keeps deteriorating and loosing value. This is the condition of some: Since they became born again they have not moved upward, they are still on the elementary foundation and have not exercised the seeds and potentuals imparted into theur spirit by the Lord. A fruitless seed lacks capacity to multiply or have not harnessed the ability to multuply. Anyone that is still remains on the seed level has not activated the spiritual potentials released into you when you became born again.

To bear fruits it is to reproduce the seeds of God in you.

Not to bear fruit is to loose the ability to become better in other words is to loose capacity to stimulate development and advancement.

But if we must move from been just a seed to become a fruit the first principle or process i want to share with you today is that we must die.

What does it mean?

1. To die means to release one's self: You must be ready to let go of you.
2. It is to release the content out of the container: There is something God placed inside of you. It must be emptied out.
3. It is to release life out of your vessel: Release life out of you for others to feel. Let people feel the life of Jesus in you. Through you someone should experience the life of Christ.
4. It is to connect to the spiritual and silence the natural: God wants us to live life not on natural basis anymore but on spiritual basis. Your emphasis from now must be about spiritual things. Jesus was on earth but lived out the Spirit. He said I do nothing from my earthly dimension, but the works that I do, I do what I see my Father do. He was on earth but was doing what was done in the realm of the Spirit by His Father. Elijah also, did mighty things by connecting and living out the spiritual. The Spiritual is the stem for the supernatural.
5. It is to loose the flesh and gain the spirit: It is to mortify the flesh and activate the Spirit. Until the flesh is crucified your spirit can never be alive. Until your flesh decrease, Jesus can't increase.

Finally, if we must produce fruits unto righteousness and holiness, fruits that will resound in eternity then we must be ready to denature the flesh and activate the spirit.

WHAT TO DO TODAY: Release your whole self unto God. Desire to be better in your walk with God every day.

PROPHETIC PRAYER: O Lord, let me decrease and may You increase in me in Jesus name.
