What's In Your Fruit Account?

I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. John 15:16 (NKJV)

What’s in your fruit account? How can you tell what your balance is? Well, look at Psalms 1. Here we read blessed is the man who trust the Lord. He is like a tree who has no worries and even in the driest of times he is still able to bear fruit.

God must love the figurative language of comparing fruit trees to human because the theme of fruitfulness appears throughout Scripture. Apostle Paul speaks of a having a fruit account. In this world everyone wants to increase their bank account but too few give a thought of increasing their fruit account in heaven.

Every believer in Christ is like a fruit tree. Jesus chose us to first go and then bear much fruit. Because we abide in Him daily and trust in His power to move through us, we never fail to bear fruit. We are sons of God and because we know our Father’s deep affection for us, we enjoy His favor and anticipate a lifetime of harvest in our lives.

What in the world are you doing for heaven’s sake? We have opportunities in life to plant life-giving seeds, to be an influencer for others to know Christ and become His sons of glory! Humanity began in a garden where God first told Adam to be “fruitful and multiply.” What joy is ours to know God chooses us to partner with Him in the continual outcome of His creation.
