Every branch
in me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2
We tend to resist the process of being pruned because it is
usually painful. In agricultural terms the result of pruning a fruit tree is a
more plentiful crop. Pruning out our habits that are not pleasing to God is a
process that God applies to believers because His grace and love for us causes
Him to sanctify us. We need to trust God that His pruning process will cause us
to bear more fruit for His Kingdom.
I invite you to repeat the following prayer
for yourself:
Abba Father, thank You for Your abundant blessings and love. Thank You God that You continue to
prune me and cleanse me and set me apart unto Yourself for Your purpose and
Your will. Abba, thank You that You sanctified me when I accepted Jesus as my
Lord and Saviour. I realize that sanctification is an ongoing process while I
am on earth, please continue to sanctify me to make me a clean vessel properly
prepared for Your good works and the advancement of Your Kingdom. Help me Lord to respond in faith and obedience to Your pruning
and guidance in my life so that I may bear more fruit. In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. To Him be
the power, the glory and the dominion forever and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.
Jesus loves you
In Him,
Wagdi Henein
