MORE FRUITS COME WITH MORE PRUNING!

Title: More fruits come with more pruning
Scripture: John 15:1-2, NLT

"I am the true grapevine, and my father is the gardener. He CUTS OFF every branch of mine that doesn't produce fruit, and he PRUNES the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more." 

There are people who produce fruit and others who do not. Which one are you? You would either be cut off or pruned depending on whether you are bearing fruit or not. God is drawing the attention of many of us to the issue of bearing more fruits to be a blessing to others. Why does the gardener decide rather to prune those bearing fruits and cut off those who are not? This makes pruning very painful. 

You could experience disappointment in your marriage/relationship, financial difficulties, discouragement at the work place, or dissastisfaction in ministry. All these can be pruning mechanisms to cause us to produce more. Once we have not been cut off, we are better off. You might have been asking God for more. It is time to allow Him to prune you. @ABTruworshipa
