YOU WILL BEAR MUCH FRUIT
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away;[a] and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will[b] ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you."
John 15:1-7 (New King James Version)
The whole essence of man's existence is to bear fruit. That is why God said to man in Genesis 1, "Be Fruitful ..." (v.28).
However, most people live their lives on earth without fulfilling this charge. Whereas some bear fruits in some aspects of their lives and suffer lack and deprivation in other aspects, some other people do not experience fruitfulness in any area of their lives. Today, I will declare to you, you will bear much fruit.
In the text above, Jesus gave the recipe for bearing fruit: abiding in Him. To 'abide in' means to live in, dwell in or be part of. By implication, in order to bear fruit, you have to live in Jesus; acknowledge that He is the source of your life, supply and success. A practical way to do so is to study His Word and pray daily as well as depend on Him for whatever decisions you take in your life. you can also take it further by being a partaker in the propagation of the gospel through service, sponsorship, giving, etc.
As you do or decide to do so, I say once again that just as the branch that abides in the tree, your life will bear much good fruit in Jesus' mighty name, AMEN.

Prayer For Today
I decree that today marks the end of strife and suffering in my life. I refuse to continue to struggle and bear no fruit. Henceforth, my life will bear much good fruit in Jesus' mighty name, AMEN.
