Making a difference
Making a difference
When we want to be the best we can at something, or as some would say master a certain area, we know NO ONE starts off a master
Even if we “master” something does that mean we can’t make mistakes?
when we say cultivate what does that word mean to you?
By def cultivation means “prepare and use (land) for crops or gardening. 2. try to acquire or develop (a quality, sentiment, or skill).
you notice the def includes the word prepare and try....
that tells us there is work involved, change involved, and sacrifice
What is being fruitful?
What is being fruitful?
by def fruitful is - producing good or helpful results; productive. 2. (of a person) producing many offspring.
so we as a vessel of God, attached to the vine as believers as in John 15, and we are the branches.
so who would keep a tree that does nothing? no fruit, no leaves for shade, literally nothing?
Then why would we want our Faith to reflect the same way
We cultivate ourselves by preparing and trying to be the best way we can....
So if we are on the right track what do we see?
Galatians 5:22-23 - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23 - 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
These are manifestations of our life being cultivated, showing and sharing this product in the Kingdom
No we read there is no law against it, so why wouldn’t we make it the priority of life?
How tedious is to remember to mow the lawn, do our laundry, and other basic life works? But we always make sure we do them so we can do whatever in life needs to be accomplished, right?
well if it meant that you are to be a fruit bearing vessell for God, wouldn’t we want to be exactly that?
Out of these 9, which seems easiest? Which seems hardest and why? There is no wrong answer, but the hardest one for you is the area that God is cultivating.
It may not come naturally, but we must prep -daily so that we can cultivate a newness in God and let his reflections of the Spirit show through us!
