7 Things Bishop David Oyedepo Said About Fruit-bearing Believers
7 Things Bishop David Oyedepo Said About Fruit-bearing Believers , Bishop David Oyedepo, the General Overseer of the Living Faith Church Worldwide spoke at the Covenant Hour of Prayer. He read the book of John 15 and explained that we are called to bring forth fruits as individuals. However, here are 7 things he said about Fruit Bearing Believers:
- Every branch has a fruit-bearing responsibility to keep fit in the race of life; Every branch has a fruit-bearing responsibility to keep fit in the adventure of life.
- Every branch that bears fruits, He keeps fit that he may bring forth more fruits. Every branch that beareth not fruits, He takes away, why occupy the ground for nothing?
- So backsliding is the natural sequence of a non (fruit) bearing life, it happens before you know it. It happens before you become aware of it.
- Fruit-bearing believers stay on, active, agile, blazing the frontiers of the Kingdom. I have watched some of these old people that are active for God how buoyant their latter end was.
- Fruit-bearing keeps us fit. The man Billy Graham never lost relevance once. A fruit-bearing hero. Fruit-bearing keeps believers fit for life. Do you know the wonder of it?
- Fruit-bearing guarantees a good old age (Psalm 92:14). They shall bring forth fruit even in old age because He kept them fit as they commit to a fruit-bearing lifestyle. So it is our longevity insurance. An undying passion for a fruit-bearing life.
- We are ordained to bring forth fruits and ensure that our fruits abide. So fruit-bearing is part and parcel of our salvation. It is not a Church doctrine. A commitment to a fruit-bearing lifestyle is simply expressing our value for our grace of election.
In conclusion, you should remember that no one can go to work on behalf of another. Only the labourer is worthy of his pay. You can’t appear at work tomorrow and say, “I just came on behalf of my wife.” Only the labourer is worthy of his hire.
