BEARING FRUIT UNTO HIS NAME (2)

John 15:7-8
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
----------------------------------...----------------------------------

We also bear great fruit unto Christ's name in prayers. Jesus said and whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. John 14:13. Through Christ you now have boldness and access with confidence, Eph.3:12. You can approach God's throne in the place (authority) of Christ and pray according to God's will and receive answers. You are no more a stranger. You are now a family member. Let this consciousness and confidence reflect in your prayer life. God gets glory as He answers your prayers in the name of Christ.

Another major way that we bear fruit unto God's name is by performing signs and wonders, Mark 16:17 Jesus said and these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Like Peter in Acts 3:6-7, God wants you to approach lame people and situations and raise them up in the name of Jesus. God has given Christ a name that is above every other name, and God has given you and I the privilege to bear that name. You now have the authority of Christ. Jesus brought glory to the Father by finishing the work God the Father gave Him to do, John 17:4. May this be your testimony also. Decide today that by the help of the Spirit of God, your life will cause great fruit to abound to the name of Christ. Many people will give God thanks and praises because of you, 2Cor.9:11.

DECLARATION: Heavenly Father, I pray that my life will continually cause great fruit to abound to the name of Jesus. Amen
