“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.” Galatians 5: 22-23
Through this verse, I invite you to return to the fruit of the Spirit that God has explained to us every day. But first, this is what we must do to be able to get the fruit of the spirit. There are three points, namely:
1. New Bag of Wine
There is a big dream in God's heart for us, and it can only be given if we repent. As written in 2 Chronicles 7: 14 - “If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.”
To receive and allow Him to rule over our lives, we need to break down the fleshly things on which we have been relying. It all must be done as provision for God can truly take over ourselves and connect with Him. Leaving it is not easy and needs a process. You can't use the old heart, but you need a new bag to be used by God. It needs humility and repent of our old man so that we are processed by the Holy Spirit so that we can bear fruit.
2. God’s Authority
The fruit of the Spirit will not occur if the Holy Spirit does not work in us. It's not easy to humble ourselves and say, 'Sorry, I was wrong.' But through the Holy Spirit, we can do it. In Galatians 5: 24 it says, - “Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
We must allow ourselves to be formed by God to be like Christ, and He will do miraculous things in our lives. The fruit of the Spirit does not just appear from ourselves, the Holy Spirit who is manifested in our life that enables it.
3. The Fruit of the spirit is whole
The fruit of the Spirit is one fruit with many flavors. There must be wholeness and no lack of a single taste. How do others feel about the fruit of our spirit? Sweet? Or not delicious? If we live attached to the Holy Spirit, the fruit we produce will be a sweet fruit, which is beneficial and can be enjoyed by many people.
Are you ready to surrender your life to God and practice the fruit of Spirit with the Holy Spirit teaches? This month, let's train ourselves to practice the fruit of the Spirit so that the results are sweet and can be enjoyed by many people.
God bless
