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.
