WORD & POWER for TODAY
… enlightening your human spirit.
YOUR FRUITS WILL BE TESTED
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.” Galatians 5:22-23 NKJV
*1. LOVE* – Your love for anyone is not real until you get the chance to hate, but you choose love still!
*2. JOY* – Even the devil knows that the joy of the Lord is your strength. When you’re joyful in the Lord, you’re strong! So, satan will constantly throw reasons for sadness at you, but you must rejoice always, regardless! _*“Consider it nothing but joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you fall into various trials.”*_ James 1:2 AMP
*3. PEACE* – The peace that God gives, does not mean the absence of troubles. It is a strong assurance that you are not alone!
*4. LONGSUFFERING* – The generation that cannot endure anything, serve anyone, or wait for God to fulfill His promises will think that God does not exist! _*“… imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises”*_. Hebrews 6:12 NKJV
*5. KINDNESS* – The wickedness and lawlessness of people in these last days will make the love (and kind hearts) of many people to become cold. _*“But he who endures to the end shall be saved”*_. Matthew 24:13
*6. GOODNESS* – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven” -Jesus Christ! Matthew 5:16
*7. FAITHFULNESS* – Chances present themselves to you, to betray your God and your loved ones. What do you do… when your loyalty to God and your loved ones is being tested?!
*8. GENTLENESS* – If you are not gentle, you are actually not strong, you are emotionally weak and very vulnerable to spiritual attacks! Gentleness can be learned, according to Jesus Christ: _*“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”*_ Matthew 11:29 NKJV
*9. SELF-CONTROL* – Frankly, if you cannot control yourself, you will end up destroying yourself! Think of a vehicle that is on motion without control, it is doomed for destruction, isn’t it?! Control your appetite for food, sex, and any thing! Control your feelings and emotions too. Or else, you will end up destroying yourself.
_*“And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.”*_ Galatians 5:24-26
