The Fruit-bearing Part Of The Vine
Pastor Anita Oyakhilome
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace,
longsuffering, gentleness, goodness,
faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such
there is no
law (Galatians 5:22-23 ).
The Capital letter “S” used for “Spirit”
in the
verse above is quite misleading to the
original
meaning of that verse. Many have
thought that
because it’s a capital “S” then Paul
must be
talking about the Holy Spirit, but that
couldn't
possibly be, because the Holy Spirit
doesn’t
bear fruits. There’s no where in the
Scriptures
that suggests that He does. The
opening verse
actually refers to the recreated human
spirit;
the spirit that's born again.
Recall the words of Jesus in John 15:5,
“I am
the vine, ye are the branches….” The
branches
are the fruit-bearing part of a tree.
Jesus didn’t
say, “I am the vine and the Holy Ghost
is the
branch,” no. He said “YOU,” referring
to the
believing ones: We’re the fruit-bearing
part of
the Vine. When Jesus uttered those
words, He
conveyed a deep spiritual truth
showing us that,
first, we have the same life as He
does.
Secondly, we have the same Name.
This is
indicative of a life of ever-increasing
glory, as
you keep bearing fruits. Halleluiah.
The Master also said in John 15:16, “Ye
have
not chosen me, but I have chosen you,
and
ordained you, that ye should go and
bring forth
fruit, and that your fruit should
remain….” This
isn't talking about a one-off
experience, but a
life of limitless possibilities and
unending
productivity. God isn't interested in
you just
producing fruits, but that your fruits
continually
increase. Just as the farmer prunes his
trees in
order to harvest more fruits, so also
the Lord
prunes His body that it may bear more
fruits
(John 15:2).
Confession
I'm a member of the body of Christ, of
His flesh
and of His bones. I’m manifesting the
fruits of
the new creation life. Love, joy, peace,
longsuffering,gentleness, goodness,
faith,
meekness, temperance are products of
my
recreated human spirit. I live out the
life of
righteousness in Christ Jesus. Amen.
F U R T H E R S T U D Y:
Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put
off concerning the former conversation
the old
man, which is corrupt according to the
deceitful
lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit
of your
mind; 24 And that ye put on the new
man,
which after God is created in
righteousness and
true holiness.;
John 15:1-5 I am the true vine, and my
Father
is the husbandman. 2
Every branch in me that
beareth not fruit he taketh away: and
every
branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it,
that it
may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye
are clean
through the word which I have spoken
unto
you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As
the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it
abide in the
vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me. 5 I
am the vine, ye are the branches: He
that
abideth in me, and I in him, the same
bringeth
forth much fruit: for without me ye can
do
nothing.
