John 15:16 - You did not choose Me, but 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.

You should be going and bearing fruit in your life because Jesus has appointed ALL to this work. Fruit may mean the by product of the Christian life which is evident by the fruit of the Spirit, such as love, joy, peace, … (Galatians 5:22-23). But it may also mean souls won for the Lord Jesus Christ because there is a close link between the two. Interestingly, it is only as you are manifesting the first kind of fruit in your life that you will ever be able to bring forth the second kind out of your life.

Challenge:

Have you ever thought of yourself as a fruit? Funny, but so TRUE! You are the fruit of others investing in your life, praying for you and leading you to Christ. Loving you to the point of accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. This weeks challenge is for you to be actively engaged in healthy fruit production. Think of those individuals who need Jesus, those that you have ministered to in the past and follow up on their progress. Look for the evident signs of those lost and hurting around you and be bold enough to strike up a conversation with them. You may have the opportunity to lead them to the Lord! Go out this week and bear MUCH fruit for the Kingdom! God bless you. 

Have a godly week,
Pastor Rob

But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

1 Thessalonians 2:1–2 – For you yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain. But even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict.

Character and courage are what is needed in your walk with Christ. Paul had both of these qualities in his life. He preached the message of the gospel fearlessly despite great opposition, a direct result of the Spirit’s filling. If you are to be successful in your Christian walk here on earth, you will need to be just as dependent on the Spirit as Paul was. Operating in the flesh will result in guaranteed failure, moving in the Spirit will lead to sure success. No matter the difficulty Paul faced in his life, he was always bold in his God!

Challenge:

Would you call yourself a bold person? Do you have great confidence in the Lord? Listen, even if you do, you can always use more! That is your challenge for this week, to be so bold in God that you offer yourself to be used mightily by Him to reach and impact others. That person at work that you would normally avoid, be bold and go talk to them and ask them how they are doing. The neighbor you have been complaining about, pray and ask God to open an opportunity to befriend them and minister to them. Step out and be bold in the Lord and see what doors He will open for you and then walk through them in the confidence that He will both use you and be with you. God bless you.

Have a godly week,
Pastor Rob

Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” … Read More Scripture:

Acts 27:33-35 - And as day was about to dawn, Paul implored them all to take food, saying, “Today is the fourteenth day you have waited and continued without food, and eaten nothing. Therefore I urge you to take nourishment, for this is for your survival, since not a hair will fall from the head of any of you.” And when he had said these things, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all; and when he had broken it he began to eat.

I encourage you to read this entire chapter. Paul and his companions find themselves in rough seas for many days. Thinking all is lost they crew panics and starts to make drastic measures to save themselves. Does this sound familiar to you? Do you, at times, panic and try to fix things in your own strength? Silly question right? You see, Paul did not panic, he sought the Lord and found comfort. He was then able to comfort the others on the ship. The one thing I want you to notice is how Paul was thankful to God for His protection BEFORE the Lord brought deliverance. Oh that we too would be thankful before God does anything for us.

Challenge:

Would you say you are a consistently thankful person? Do you find yourself thankful only when things go your way or you get what you want in the way you want? Being thankful in EVERY situation is not easy for anyone. This weeks challenge is for you to be more thankful for the situations you find yourself in each day. Even the things you would normally not be so thankful for. Change your perspective on the way you look at life and show gratitude.

Have a godly week,
Pastor Rob
