When your life, faith or dream is unaccompanied by fruits, you have disowned it.

 

Fruit is the evidence of seed. 

 

Jesus said, "I tell you, for this reason the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce the fruits of it."  Fruit (or results) are the evidence that you have put something in the ground of your life to prosper (or harvest.) 

 

But fruit must be produced.  That's why you only find it in the "produce" section.  Dictionary.com defines that word "produce" as:

 

1. To bring into existence by intellectual or creative ability
2. To make or manufacture
3. To bring forth; give birth to or bear
4. To provide, furnish, supply or yield
5. To create economic value; In other words, to bring crops, goods, etc., to a point at which they will command a price.

What have you produced in life that commands value or a price (the wealth of the world to come into your hands?)

 

What is in YOUR fruit or produce section?

 

When you think of the following people, what is the fruit (or first thing) that comes to your mind?

 

Martin Luther King Jr.	Civil Rights Movement
T.D. Jakes	Woman Thou Art Loosed; Preaching
John Maxwell	Leadership Development; Mentoring
Bill Gates	Microsoft Software
Conrad Hilton	Hilton Hotels
Michael Jordan	Basketball Championships
Steve Jobs	Apple, iPhone, Computer Technology
Michael Jackson	Music Legend

 

If I said YOUR NAME; what (fruit) would people think of?

 

Would they think of leadership, encouragement, advocacy, technology, worship, ministry, training, etc.?

 

Or would they think of anger, passivity, laziness and wasted years?

 

Your fruit is the difference maker in your life.

 

If there is no fruit in your marriage, career, business, ministry or dreams, then there is no seed.

 

Over two thousand years ago, God wrapped His Presence in human flesh to change the history of mankind.

 

He wrapped His magnificent plan in a Seed designed to produce a harvest.

 

This plan has never changed.

 

You and I were designed to carry His presence, power, creativity and exploits where we live, work and learn; we were designed to intercept people at the crossroads of their lives with the fruit we bear. 

 

But there is an enemy that encamps against our harvest.  Judges 6 records:

 

"For whenever Israel had sown their seed, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them. They would encamp against them and destroy the crops as far as Gaza and leave no nourishment for Israel, and no ox or sheep or donkey. For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and they came like locusts for multitude; both they and their camels could not be counted. SO THEY WASTED THE LAND AS THEY ENTERED IT. And Israel was greatly impoverished because of the Midianites, and the Israelites cried to the Lord."
 
The enemy wants to waste your life through unfruitfulness.
