EPISODE 720 – PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 5

PRODUCE KINGDOM RESULTS 5

“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)

To produce Kingdom results, I have mentioned in the previous episodes four key things (not according to any special order) you must do, these include:

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

2. Be consumed with the Success of the Kingdom.

3. Contend for results.

4. Go all out and think of possibilities.

The fifth key thing to do or note is that YOU ARE THE MAN FOR THE JOB.

Most believers assume they are not qualified to achieve Kingdom results. They even think if they don’t achieve the results, there are better people who will work effectively to achieve those results. Some also think the Kingdom will still advance without them, therefore they will live their lives and do what pleases them.

When Jesus told His disciples to bear fruit, He was speaking to them not only corporately but also individually.

He said, “I chose you, and appointed you.”

How Jesus chose and appointed His disciples gives a clear idea that He spoke to them individually.

Jesus appointed His disciples individually.
This was why the Bible didn’t put the main disciples only in a group tag but clearly mentioned their names.

“At that time Jesus went to a mountain to pray. He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
When it was day, he called his disciples. He chose twelve of them and called them apostles. They were Simon (whom Jesus named Peter) and Simon’s brother Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James (son of Alphaeus), Simon (who was called the Zealot), Judas (son of James), and Judas Iscariot (who became a traitor).” Luke 6:12-16 (GOD’S WORD Translation)

This shows that these disciples were not just a number in a crowd. They were individual members with a personal relationship with Jesus. The Lord works with us corporately and also individually.
As the Good Shepherd, He said, “But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.” John 10:2-3 (NLT)

He knows and deals with you by name, even though you are within the sheepfold. For God to deal with you individually doesn’t also suggest He doesn’t deal with you within a fold. He has designed us uniquely to operate in His body, as individual members within a corporate body.

“For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ” 1 Corinthians 12:12 (ESV)

Now as a member of the body of Christ, you must be fruitful for the benefit of the whole body. Imagine your hands or let’s refusing to be fruitful in your body. This will affect the effectiveness of your mobility.

You have to understand that God has placed you in His body with special responsibility. Your unfruitfulness is the unfruitfulness of the whole body. In the same way, your fruitfulness is the fruitfulness of the whole body.

God has made you special for His assignment.

Again Jesus said, “I am the sprouting vine and you’re my branches…” John 15:5 (TPT)

You noticed Jess didn’t say to His disciples you are “my branch”?

Jesus said, “you’re my branches”, which means every individual disciple of Jesus is a branch. You are a branch, I am a branch, and the other disciple of Jesus is also a branch. We are all together as the branches of Christ Jesus. Each branch has the responsibility to bear fruits.

Don’t think producing results or bearing fruits is not your responsibility. Don’t hide in the crowd. God has made you special and given you a special grace for the good works which He has foreordained.

Beloved, you are the man for the job!

Selah.
