GOD'S WORD IS FRUITFUL

 

GOD’S WORD IS FRUITFUL

Is. 55:11 ...”It is the same with my word. I send it out and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I sent it.” NLT

Why should we proclaim God’s Word? It always produces fruit. It always accomplishes the purposes of God as it is proclaimed. Why should we be witnesses for Christ? It always bears forth fruit. No word spoken about Christ is vain. In God’s world, it always is profitable.

Now understand this, we are not always going to see the fruit that the Lord sees when we proclaim His Word. The Lord works in ways we don’t know or understand. Whenever we plant seeds, it falls to the ground. The Lord may bring instant fruit from it or He may leave it in the ground for a season, or many seasons, before it bears fruit. The promise is that our proclamations are never in vain; they always produce fruit.

There are many different ways we can proclaim God’s Word. God uses our creativeness for His glory. Whatever means we use, when the Word is communicated it produces godly fruit. The important thing is that we do what God has commanded to us to do, “Preach the Word.” It is our duty to be messengers of the Truth; it is God’s role to use it to bring forth fruit. God cannot do what He wants to do through us if we don’t do what we are given to do.

We get so caught up by the numbers. We want to see the fruit. We want to see what difference we are making in the world. But God doesn’t always work like we want Him to. He sometimes takes a lot of time to bring forth the fruit. It may take many people working in their own unique ways to get the fruit to grow. It’s not any of our business what the Lord does with His Word as we spread it. His promise is that when we do what we are given to do, it’s never in vain. His Word always produces fruit and when we get to heaven, we will then see the difference our faithfulness has made in the lives of others.
