EPISODE 719 – PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 4

PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 4

“Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: [so] that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, He may give it [to] you”

John 15:16 (ASV)

No disciple of Jesus is expected to be fruitless. Jesus called you to Himself that you will bear fruits which will remain. The fruits or results which you are to produce are not temporal results. They are results or fruits which must remain.

The word “remain” is the Greek word, “menō” which means “to continually dwell, stand or endure”.

Your fruits or results must endure the test of time. Such results don’t come by chance. They come by choice and genuine intentionality.

1. You have to make a decision you are going to do much more as a disciple of Jesus.

2. Be consummed with the Success of the Kingdom.

3. Contend for results.

4. Go all out and think possibilities.

When you think it is not possible you will not be able to activate the grace to get it done.

Most think of impossibility because they are conscious of failure. They think more of failing than succeeding. They set their minds on defeat rather than who God is and what He said.

Like the 10 spies of Moses. They failed to think about what God is able to do with them. And rather saw themselves as grasshoppers.

“But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.” And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.” Numbers 13:31-33 (NKJV)

There is a way defeat mentality makes you not reason with logic. When you observe the report of these spies of Moses you can notice inconsistencies in their thoughts.
How can a land flowing with milk and honey devour its inhabitants?

If the land devoured its inhabitants, how did the Amalekites, the Hittites, the Jebusites, the Amorites, and the Canaanites dwell there? These people were able to build fortified cities.

When these spies went to the land how were they able to survive? How was the land not able to devour them?

Caleb and Joshua had a different report.

When these people began to give their report (Numbers 13:2_-29), Caleb felt they were not going to produce the right sound, so he intercepted their report:

“Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.” Numbers 13:30 (NKJV).

These people went to the same land to spy on it, yet they came back with two different reports. One group thought they were grasshoppers, while the other saw their ability to overcome the land.

What you are able to do is always connected to your mindset. Beloved, your thoughts define your possessions.

The thoughts of fear will make you hold back and not dare to take a step forward.

Instead of the spies communicating the weaknesses of the inhabitants of the land, they were amplifying the things they thought were the strengths of these inhabitants.

When the Israelites heard the negative and doubtful news from the 10 spies they began to cry and rebel against the Lord (Numbers 14:1-4)

Again we see the mindset of Joshua and Caleb:

“But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: “The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord delights in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us, ‘a land which flows with milk and honey.’ Only do not rebel against the Lord, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their protection has departed from them, and the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.” Numbers 14:6-9 (NKJV)

While the 10 spies saw giants,  Joshua and Caleb saw bread.

While the 10 saw themselves as grasshoppers, Joshua and Caleb saw themselves as possessors.

How do you see yourself?

Do you see possibilities?

If you do, then don’t hold back, it’s time to go all out.

There is a lot the Lord wants to accomplish through you this year.

Refuse to fear!

Refuse to doubt!

Start now and take bold steps!

Glory to God!
