Bearing Fruit in Christ

Scripture: John 15:[4] Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

Observation: My purpose is to bear fruit, to produce something with this life or I’m useless like anything else. The only way I can do this is by being obedient to my Lord. I can’t accomplish anything unless I know what it is I’m supposed to be doing.

Application: To grow closer to God by reading his word and other books that will help me understand more about my Lord. To be in prayer and listen to what he wants of me. To serve others in his name so He can guide me. To be around others believers so that God can speak through them to me. To be in church to be better equipped to bear fruit.

Prayer: Dear Lord draw me nearer to you so that I may remain in you. Prune and shape me for service that I may bear fruit in your name and fulfill the purpose you have created me for. I’m here to serve you.
