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.

Navigating A New Year

 Isaiah  42:16 Our text passage above shows us God is the one who shows us the path to take and leads us in new directions. Your path matters to God. The way you you choose to take is important to God. Your steps are seen by God and ordered by God. Psalm 37:23 The year ahead of you matters to God too. Luke 13:8-9 Each year God has given you the grace to witness, experience, and journey through is another opportunity to be fruitful for God. God wants you to make the most of the year ahead of you to His glory. Human beings do not always know the way and path to go, we can be limited in wisdom. History shows we do not always make the best choices. The year ahead of us will require knowing the way to go, having the wisdom to make the best decisions and choices. Deuteronomy 30:19 To successfully navigate the year we need to stay in God.. To navigate is to find your way through, it is following the right path to a specific destination. Car drivers either buy a GPS/Navigation device system or

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

The Importance Of The Anointing

Acts 10:38 The anointing is the presence of the Holy Spirit with a person. The anointing speaks, the anointing directs, and the anointing teaches people what they need to know and do. 1 John 2:27 You need the anointing. You can grow in the anointing. It is also possible to depart from the anointing. The anointing won't depart from you but you can depart from the anointing. You should remain in Him. It is worth it investing time to understand the your anointing, growing in your anointing and obeying the anointing. As you get to know a person better by spending time with them, so it is with the anointing in your life. With the anointing, you can't go wrong. The anointing strategically positions you in God's kingdom and in life. Jesus was full of the Holy Spirit. Colossians 2:9 Jesus had the anointing when He was here on earth. Jesus is our example of what our life can be when we have the anointing. Hebrews 12:2 Jesus knew His purpose. Luke 2:49 Jesus
