In Ephesians 5:11 "have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness..."
Do you know the church you are attending is being fruitful?
How do we know to be fruitful? The only way to know is to be fruitful ourselvs first by reading the Bible and striving to be obedient in everything that the Bible teaches daily.
If we are not wholheartedly committed servants, we don't know how to be fruitful and our church's fruitfulness.

Jesus also tells us if we are not fruitful we will be chopped down and burned.

I would like to list up how we can show our fruitfulness:
If we are fruitful parents, our children will be devoted followers also. Of course there is always some exceptions but the odds are that children will follow their parents footsteps. Parents are most influential to their children in all aspect of their lives. Being faithful servants is the most valuable gifts we can give to our children. I know children will certainly appreciate their parents' good examples.
Fruitful ones will be blessing to all around us even though some people may not realize or recognize it. They are problem solvers instead of trouble-makers and burdens to the society.
Fruitful ones know how to survive no matter what the circumstances because they will learn how to cope from the New Testament.
Fruitful ones know how to help people who are in need if they are asked. We get in trouble when we are being disobedient to God. Sometimes it comes directly from satan but fruitful ones are still able to handle any situation in godly ways.
I am sure there are more; I will get back when I remember. |
