THE SEED
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance. Galatians 5:22-23 KJV
Just as fruits cannot be without a tree, believers likewise cannot bear good fruits without the Power of the Holy Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit in man comes as a result of its presence, without which a believer is empty. At salvation, we received a new life by the virtue of God releasing his Spirit into us. Thereby the presence of the Spirit within us is not just for decoration but for the perfection of our soul and propagation of the Gospel. The Holy Spirit comes with its fruit, but most times we don’t make good use of it, and then it remained dormant. The fruit of the Spirit is a reflection of a life that depicts Christ. Very essential for all children of God because it signifies our spiritual maturity giving room for unbelievers to be attracted to us for the Salvation of their Souls. The fruit of the Spirit must also reflect in our behaviours everywhere we find ourselves, for the Bible said we are the Salt of the world and that our light should shine for people to see. We can always overcome our Adamic nature by yielding to the Holy Spirit, following its instructions and nourishing the fruits. Jesus said” I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
BIBLE READING: Galatians 5:16-25
PRAYER: Lord, help me yield myself to the leading of the Holy Spirit by bearing more fruits in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
