THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and
self-control” Galatians 5:22-23
Have you ever seen mangoes growing
on apple tree? Its impossible! Mango trees produce [grow] mangoes, and apple
trees produce apples . When you become God’s child, He wants to produce fruit
in you. This is spiritual fruit. This
fruit shows in your actions and words. It is what you are on the inside-your
character. Obeying and serving God is what you do, but spiritual fruit is
produce by what you are.
This fruit is produced in your life when you listen to the Holy Spirit
and allow Him to be in control.
What is the result of controlling
your own life? Bad fruit like jealousy, anger and selfishness are produced.
When you obey the Spirit and allow Him to control you, good fruit is produced.
The more you obey the Holy Spirit, the more the fruit of the Spirit grows and
develops. What kind of fruit is seen in your
life? Is it good fruit or bad fruit?
You can pray:
Dear God help me to give my life
to the Spirit and allow Him to produce good fruit in my life. In Jesus’ name.
Amen.
