Message

When God says you should be fruitful, He is not just talking about you being successful materially and having children; He is also talking about you winning souls.

In John 15:16, Jesus said:

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: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

As a disciple of Jesus Christ, being fruitful is primarily about leading people to Christ and ensuring that they grow and remain in the faith. A soul won to Christ is a fruit that brings eternal joy to God and also to you. The Bible says in Luke 15:7 that there is so much joy in heaven when a soul is saved from eternal damnation and won into the kingdom of the Almighty God.

God wants us to multiply spiritually. This is why Bible scholars often refer to Matthew 28:18-20 as the Great Commission. Jesus commands us to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. To make disciples means to teach others to follow Christ just as you are following Him. This involves preaching the gospel to unbelievers and mentoring other Christians with the word of God to help them grow in their walk with God. God wants you to make disciples; He wants you to reproduce yourself.

Apostle Paul understood this principle and taught it to Timothy. In 2 Timothy 2:2, he said, *"And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also."* He instructed Timothy to pass on what he had learned to faithful believers who would teach other believers in turn. This is the multiplication God desires - fruitfulness that extends beyond you to others and continues through generations.

Beloved, the Bible says that a person who wins souls is wise (Proverbs 11:30). Are you spiritually fruitful? Are you leading others to Christ? Are you teaching and mentoring others in the faith? If you have not been doing these, it is time to start. Begin with those around you - your family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. Share the love of God with them and invite them to experience the blessings you enjoy in Christ. When you do all these, you will be truly fruitful, and God will make you shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).

RCCG Hymn

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God

  1. To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
    Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
    With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew.
    Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

    2. Toiling on, toiling on.
    Toiling on, toiling on.
    Let us hope, let us watch,
    And labour till the Master comes.


  2. To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed,
    To the fountain of life let the weary be led!
    In the cross and its banner our glory shall be.
    While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"
  3. To the work! to the work! there is labour for all.
    For the kingdom of darkness, and error shall fall;
    And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be.
    In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"
  4. To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
    And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward.
    When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be.
    And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!
