Perhaps, our idea of Jesus is that He will ONLY love and will never curse. But, in Matthew 21:19, we read that Jesus "seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away". In the same chapter, Jesus spoke about the parable of the wicked vinepressers and He said in Matthew 21:43, that, "..the kingdom of God will be taken from you and given to a nation bearing the fruits of it." From these verses, we can see the importance of bearing fruits. Jesus EXPECTS us to bear fruits for Him but He does not leave us alone to do it ourselves. He wants to help us. He invites us to abide in Him and He will abide in us to bear fruit for without Him we can do nothing Read John 15:5-8 https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
Day 190 - Enjoy God! Read Psalm 148; Proverbs 7:4-6; Revelation 9; 2 Samuel 21-22 2 Samuel 22 v30 - By God, I can run against a troop and by my God, I can leap over a wall v33 - God is my strength and power! He makes my way perfect! Reading the above verses warmed my heart as I recalled the sweet victory I had as I trusted God when He assured me exactly with the above verses way back in 1994 when I did my Certificate of Legal Practice (CLP). It was the first day of exam and my Quiet Time for that day turned out to be reading the above verses. What a joy! What an assurance! I knew by God and with God, I could leap over CLP examination and would cross over the challenge and would pass to do my chambering. True enough, I passed and started my chambering in 1995. All glory to God! Hence, how important for us to keep reading God's Words as our loving Heavenly Father is so eager to speak and communicate with us. Please do run to Him, embrace and enjoy the sweet communion and taste...
