Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit

myDearBrother Staff posted on August 21, 2023 00:00

According to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, we have been given faith as a mustard seed to cast mountains into the sea. But what many people do not understand is that a seed is not going to command a mountain to do anything. It is the fruit of that seed that commands a mountain to be moved into the sea.

Unlike the gifts of the spirit that are given in manifestation and in full view, the fruit of the spirit is given in seed and must be cultivated underground. So how do you cultivate the fruit of the spirit and how is the seed to be sown? Read the following to become mountain movers:

Love best grows in the sand.
Joy best grows under cloud cover.
Peace best grows in the changing of seasons.
Longsuffering best grows in the heat of the day.
Kindness best grows caring for the struggling plants.
Goodness best grows in sowing into your neighbor’s garden.
Faithfulness best grows late at night every night.
Gentleness best grows in the weeding.
Self-control best grows in season and out of season.

Sow your seed today and move a mountain tomorrow!

Scripture

but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; - 1 Peter 3:15 KJV

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. - Matthew 10:26-28 KJV

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. - Hebrews 10:22-25 KJV

How do I get saved?

Jesus said if you want to follow me, you must lose your life. A higher standard than the typical ask Jesus into your heart confession. You have to start somewhere, so make the confession, but then do what Jesus said daily if you really believe in him. Jesus continued telling those who want to follow him that they must also take up their cross. Which means following Jesus will put you under the microscope of today's society. But that is part of the plan of losing your life so that you may live for him eternally. And why would you want to follow Jesus with all the trouble that goes with being his disciple? Because he is the only way through death to eternal life. He is not showing us the way. He is the way!

What is 'Walk with me'?

We are living in the Enoch generation. Enoch walked with God and was found no more because God took him. To walk with God means to hear, to reflect, and then to go out into all the world proclaiming Christ crucified. As a Bible teacher, I have several websites that help people walk with God. If you don't have a church home, walk with me until you do. Walk with me is my version of onboarding people into the Kingdom of God. Subscribe to the Walk with me Newsletter to begin.
