John Hagee (December-05-2024) Daily Devotional: John 15:8 - By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.
God’s will for each of His children is that we bear fruit – and not just somefruit, but much fruit! God is a productive and producing God, and He desires the same attributes in us.
When do we start? Immediately! Fruit production is possible for every believer. From the moment we are grafted into the True Vine, His potential and power flow through us.
Where do we start? Here! Our mission field exists right where we live. We have great impact in the place where we are known the most.
How do we start? The Holy Spirit produces fruit in us as we submit to the Father. His good fruit grows in us, and we produce works as evidence.
When the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, they received power to become His witnesses in Judea – that was home. In Samaria – those were their neighbors. And to the uttermost parts of the earth.
Let’s produce good fruit at home – with our spouses and children. Let’s be productive in our witness to our neighbors. In the places where we are employed, let’s work with God-honoring integrity. Those who know us best must know how we love Him most.
Start here. Start now. As you are nourished by the Father, may you flourish. Abound in every good work to produce more and more fruit!
Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. May you be the planting of the Lord, pruned to produce. May your fruitfulness ever increase to glorify your Father.
