YOU WILL BE CONFRONTED BY TRIAL
“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 matter how much you wish to achieve great Kingdom results, you may still not produce them until you act or take consistent steps towards them.
From the revelation of the scriptures, you will realize fruit-bearing is not an option. The goal of discipleship in God’s Kingdom is for you to produce fruits consistent with the good pleasure of His will.
See what Jesus said, “Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.” (John 15:8)
In your fruit-bearing or Kingdom results, your Heavenly Father is glorified.
This doesn’t happen automatically, simply because you are a disciple of Jesus.
You can be a disciple of Jesus and still not bear fruits. To produce results there are specific things to do:
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.
Until you become interested in and passionate about the kingdom’s success, you will not be willing to take steps to make it happen.
God and His Kingdom must become your priority. Until God is your priority you cannot invest in Him. Your heart must be after God.
One question you must always ask yourself is this:
How deep is my love and jealousy for God?
When you don’t love the Lord, you will not be willing to go the extra mile for His course. You will always make excuses and seek self-pleasure.
Challenges may arise to hinder your efforts to produce results. You don’t have to give up or drawback. There is something important you need to do:
3. Contend for results.
Results require a relentless posture of faith. Because of the adversary’s resistance, your results will always come with a fight. This is not a fight to obtain victory; it is a fight to unleash and enforce the victory that you have obtained in Christ.
You don’t have to fake or pretend that you have the results, you must contend for it. To have results is a faith thing. You must contend and release your faith.
IT IS CALLED THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH!
Paul the apostle in his last epistle to Timothy made an affectionate heartthrob statement:
“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” 2 Timothy 4:7 (NKJV)
This fight of faith is a good, worthy and noble fight. It is to contend earnestly the glorious contest to guard the faith.
In Paul’s first epistle to Timothy, he instructed him to,
“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12
As we have seen in the second epistle, Paul the apostle was instructing Timothy to do exactly what he was also doing. To have a fruitful experience of the faith, you must fight to express it. You must contend in faith.
Again he said, as part of his epistle to the Church in Philippi, “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14 (NKJV)
He has to press toward the goal because there were many things which may serve as limitations.
To press on and to contend for the results means you are not holding anything back. You have to fight, run and strive for the results.
In your attempt to achieve results, you may be confronted by trial.
“Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.” (James 1:12).
You have to persevere as a good soldier.
As you are taking steps, you must remain resolute and daring. You have to press on against all odds to produce consistent Kingdom results.
Glory to God!

Thank you Lord Jesus
I will not give up or drawback until I get the results. The passion and the interest of the kingdom consume my heart in the mighty name of Jesus
Thank you Lord Jesus
Thank you Father
Thank you sweet Spirit of God
Thank you Jesus.
I make God and His Kingdom my priority!!
Yes Sir
Amidst the challenge I press to to produce consistent kingdom results
I am a true disciple of Jesus because I bear much fruit
As disciples of Jesus, we must have attitude as soldiers (that is who we really are), relentlessly pressing for results.
Our labor shall not be in vain (1 Cor 15:58)
This episode has produced a fighters mindset within.
Soo insightful.
The good fight of faith is to safeguard the faith.
Glory.
I will press on because God is with me.
Anything that is done by your strength in God is not a great thing because God is the only God that gives an assignment and gives the grace which is his supply for that work so if you don’t act with the arsenal’s of God then you are not going to gain any results that will fit the standard of the results God has set for one to achieve
By the arm of flesh shall no man prevail so we must contend with the limitations by the supply of God to make tremendous results happen
Thank you, Lord Jesus.
I am blessed by the Lord to be fruitful.
And my fruit glorifies the Father.
I am a true disciple of Christ Jesus because I bear much fruit.
Hallelujah
Glory to God
Thank you Lord Jesus
Through machairawithApostleBennie Devotional I have understand that the function of a true disciple is to bear fruit. That is actually what completes discipleship.
I have learnt that fruit bearish is not just expressing the fruits of the Spirit, it is actually souls!
But to be a profitable disciple
Somethings are relevant, we don’t just bear fruits.
To bear fruits
– we must set our hearts on God’s mandate to disciple the nations
– we must be consumed by the target
– we must content to get souls disciple.
It only becomes easier with being submitted to the Spirit and practice.
Thank you Jesus
