TRACT 140: A FRUITFUL CHRISTIAN?

"Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit" John 15:2.

Show me a person having the three spiritual experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit Baptism) and bearing the nine fruit of the spirit daily; and I will tell you the person is a Christian. The fruit of the Spirit are attributes of a holiness lifestyle which the Holy Spirit develops in a Christian " But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law" Galatians 5:22-23.

LOVE: Loves his neighbour as he loves himself; and loves God with the whole of his body, soul and spirit.

JOY: Rejoices in hope of Eternal Life more than pleasures and challenges of life.

Peace: Always at peace with all men.

Longsuffering: Slow to anger and patience with people.

Gentleness: Not aggressive and does not quarel.

Goodness: Friendly, generous and always considering the good of others.

Faith: Loyal to the teachings and commands of Christ.

Meekness: References the Lord and have regard for others.

Temperance: has self control over lust, actions and ungodliness.

Jesus said" If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned" John 15:6. Are you abiding and bearing fruit for the Lord? Paradventure the reader lacks the three Christian's experiences, kindly say the following prayers.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for calling me unto salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit baptism. Here am I Lord in humility of heart, have mercy upon me and save me from the yoke of sins. Cleanse me in your precious blood and baptize me in this Holy Spirit; and grant me the grace to bring forth the fruit of the Spirit daily. In Jesus' Name. Amen

TRACT 130: AMONG THE SONS & DAUGHTERS OF GOD? ''For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God'' Romans 8:14. Does God really have sons and daughters on earth? To an unbeliever or non follower of Christ, God neither has any son nor daughter. Truly speaking, God has no wife but has many sons and daughters on earth who are born of the Spirit through the Saviour - Jesus Christ; who always make God proud in the open and secret closets. The sons and daughters of God on earth have the three Christian experiences (salvation, sanctification and Holy Spirit baptism). They are born again (born of the water and of the Spirit). They live everyday of their lives with eternity (heaven) in view. The sons and daughters of God lack non of the nine fruit of the Spirit ''But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance..'' Galatians 5:22-23. They never allow any offence of...

To commence the New Year in sin make one an ingrate to Almighty God; and starting the new year in doubt concerning the authencity of Jesus as Savour is telling Go...
