THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
FRIDAY APRIL 21
Text: Galatians 5: 22-26
Key Verse: “Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it bring forth more fruit” John 15:2
The Holy Spirit produces the spiritual virtues of love, joy, peace, faith, goodness, meekness, gentleness, patience and self control in the life of the holy Christian. These virtues are collectively called the fruit of the Spirit to make his light shine before men in righteousness and holiness so that they may glorify God for his life. The spiritual virtues contained within this fruit of the Spirit are described as:
1. Love: shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, for God and for our fellow men
2. Joy: flows in the believer’s heart as a sign of true salvation, Psalm 51:12
3. Peace: proves that we are God’s Children, Mathew 5:9
4. Long suffering: makes the child of God to bear long with God and with men in times of trials
5. Gentleness: makes the Christian to love and relate peacefully with his fellow men
6. Goodness: God’s goodness manifested in the believer. Hebrews 12:14.
7. Faith: keeps us in constant connection with God, Hebrews 11:6.
8. Meekness: Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth
9. Temperance: keeps the believers from the sins of appetite and worldly cares.
If we live and walk in the Spirit we will bear the fruit of the Spirit and will not fulfill the desires of the flesh. Good fruits are always displayed for people to buy and eat. Jesus said that believers are the light of the World, and that we should let our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify God because of us, and be challenged to draw closer to the Lord. As it is natural for good and living tree to bear good fruits, so it is for every Spirit filled Christian to bring forth godly fruits. Any person who has not the Holy Spirit in him is not of Christ and cannot bear the fruit of the Spirit.
Thought for the day: Against such there is no law
Song for the day: Make me Holy, make me Holy, make me Holy o Lord …..
Bible reading for the day: 2 Samuel 1-3; Luke 18:1-17

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA* Int'l Director (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018 _TOPIC:_ *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER* TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
