HOW WATERED IS YOUR TREE? THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIRT (LOVE,
JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, SELF CONTROL)

The easiest way to identify an apple tree is to check its
fruits. In the same way, the Christian is identified by the fruit he or she
bears. The Lord Jesus said, “Yes, the way to identify a tree or a person is by
the kind of fruits produced” (Matthew 7:20 TLB) and how true this statement is!

The fruits you bear must be an evidence of the Zoe; the God –
life in you. In other words, your life is the product of the influence of the
Holy Spirit in your spirit. Love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control as itemized in Galatians
5:22-23, are the fruit of the recreated human spirit; one that’s fashioned in
the image of Christ. Hallelujah! You’ve been endowed with power and anointed to
bear divine fruit. Nothing can stop you! All you need do is position yourself
in the right environment.

You’ve been endowed with power to cast out demons, to speak
with new tongues, take up serpents, to lay hands on the sick and have them
recover. If you drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt you.

How watered is your tree? Where is it located? What kind of
fruits is it producing; edible or poisonous.

To produce the right fruits you have to stay in the right
environment. The right environment is the river side, where you feast on the
Word, at all times. You must manage your tree very well because our Lord Jesus Christ
said, “…..by their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20).

PRAYER

DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR
FILLING ME WITH YOUR SPIRIT WHO UNVEILS THE WORD TO MY SPIRIT CAUSING ME TO
ABOUND IN YOUR LOVE AND INCREASE IN KNOWLEDGE AND IN ALL JUDGMENT; THAT I MAY
APPROVE THINGS THAT ARE EXCELLENT, BE SINCERE AND WITHOUT OFFENCE TILL THE DAY
OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST; BEING FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH ARE
BY CHRIST JESUS, UNTO THE GLORY AND PRAISE OF GOD, AMEN!
