The Fruits & Gifts Of The Spirit

 James 1:17

God gives good and perfect gifts.

God is a giver, nature shows us this and the Bible confirms it.

Romans 1:20

God has given to humanity "everything it needs for life and godliness"

2 Peter 1:3

The scriptures show us a major way to receive in life, especially from God is to ask.

God in His benevolence gives gifts, in His generosity He also makes us fruitful.

The new creation should be gifted and fruitful.

The gifts and fruits of the Spirit are given for a reason, for a purpose.

The gifts and fruits of the spirit balance one another.

There's a correlation between the gifts of the Spirit and the fruits of the Spirit.

The fruits of the Spirit are qualities that help us manage the gifts of the Spirit.

The gifts of the Spirit compliment the fruits of the Spirit.

The fruits of the Spirit manage the gifts of the Spirit.

The fruits of the Spirit brings spiritual maturity while the gifts of the Spirit brings about spiritual exploits.

The gifts of the Spirit brings profit (common good), while the fruits of the Spirit maintains and manages our profits (common good).

1 Corinthians 12:7

The gifts of the Spirit is for the service of humanity while the fruit of the Spirit is for the glory of God.

Matthew 5:15,16,19-24

Jesus seeks to find fruit from our lives the way He sought fruit from the fig tree.

Mark 11:12

Spiritual fruits show we are useful to God.

Spiritual gifts show we are empowered to serve God.

We shouldn't seek only spiritual gifts but seek to develop the fruits of the Spirit.

God wants you to have and live a fruitful life.

John 15:1-8

The gift and the fruits of the Spirit are from God's Spirit, for both to be fully developed in us we need to yield to the Spirit of God.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state.
