Jesus, the Source of our Fruitfulness


When God created Man He wanted him to be fruitful. The Lord says, "Be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). Our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of our fruitfulness. In the gospel of John 15:1-8 he declares, “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit... Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing." Indeed, our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of our fruitfulness. He is the One that makes us fruitful. We are empty without him. We can only bear much fruits in and through our Lord Jesus Christ. To him be glory and praise both now and forevermore - Amen!

Inspirational Message: There is only one source of fruitfulness. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the source of our fruitfulness. With him we shall bear much fruit.

Prayer for fruitfulness: Heavenly Father, you created Man in your image and likeness. You mandated him to fruitful and multiply. Instead of becoming fruitful man disobeyed you and lost your friendship. Through your Son our Lord Jesus, you have restored the source of our fruitfulness. With him, we can now bear much fruit. Lord, we have so many barren couples in our world today and we have so many people who are engaging in fruitless labour. Lord, make us fruitful as you are fruitful. May we succeed in everything we lay our hands, through Christ our Lord - Amen!
