Fruitfulness Through the Holy Spirit

“He said therefore, “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. He called ten servants of his, and gave them ten mina coins, and told them, ‘Conduct business until I come.’ But his citizens hated him, and sent an envoy after him, saying, ‘We don’t want this man to reign over us.’ “When he had come back again, having received the kingdom, he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by conducting business. The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten more minas.’ “He said to him, ‘Well done, you good servant! Because you were found faithful with very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ “The second came, saying, ‘Your mina, Lord, has made five minas.’ “So he said to him, ‘And you are to be over five cities.’” (Luke‬ ‭19:12-19‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

It seems like with every passing day, we are so much nearer to the time of Jesus’ return.

Yet, the Lord does not want us to be idle just because we sense His impending return.

He wants us to bear good fruit through the Holy Spirit that we have received.

The world needs to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and experience the power of the Holy Spirit who resides in us.

Did you notice how each of the ten servants received the same amount of one mina?

The mina being the same, could represent the same Holy Spirit that every believer receives upon salvation.

The first servant’s mina gained ten more minas, whereas the second servant’s mina gained five more minas.

I like how the servants gave credit to the mina for the gain, and did not draw attention to themselves.

It is like wisely recognizing that fruitfulness is not by strength, not by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord.

The first servant’s reward was in proportion with the results he produced through the mina. For gaining ten minas, he received authority over ten cities. For gaining five minas, the second servant received authority over five cities.

All ten servants each received one mina initially, but their rewards were different, depending on their end results.

This shows that salvation is the same for all believers who place their faith in Jesus as Lord, but our eternal rewards will be measured based on our good works.

““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation‬ ‭22:12‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Good works come in many forms, and generally anything done for Abba God and Jesus with faith, hope, and love, are considered good works.

The Lord Jesus is your Rewarder. Are you ready to received authority over cities and other spheres of His kingdom during the Millennium and beyond?

Learn all about eternal rewards and how to maximize them, in my debut book “Sandcastles Don’t Last Forever”. It is truly a relevant read for this end-time generation. Allow the Holy Spirit to show you revelations of what awaits us beyond this mortal life, and the true riches in glory that will be given to believers who wisely make preparations now: http://bit.ly/sandcastlesdontlastforever

Be Led to Enjoy Fruitfulness

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace. What profit has he who works in that in which he labors? I have seen the burden which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts, yet so that man can’t find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice, and to do good as long as they live. Also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.” (Ecclesiastes‬ ‭3:1-13‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Life is quite simple. Every season looks different, but God is still the one who upholds you. That truth does not change, so it is pointless to be afraid or worried since God is consistently faithful and good.

Just trust Him and look out for the unique grace that is supplied for every season.

You don’t have to be smart. Just patient to listen and humble to follow His lead.

“Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Fear Yahweh, and depart from evil.” (Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Self-reliance is a trap. Lean on Him in everything.

It is when you forget about Him that you’re setting yourself up for a bad fall. Neglecting to pray and receive God’s word is a tell-tale sign of this impending fall.

We cannot reign in life when we are always depending on fleshly self efforts and crying to God as a last resort when everything turns bad.

Compromising on moral standards and making decisions based on fear never turns out well either.

“For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.” (Romans‬ ‭8:13-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Choose to be led by the Holy Spirit. We cannot make it on our own. Children of God are led by Him. We will enjoy restful fruitfulness just by following Him!
