Text: John 15:8
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Fruitfulness is the final sign of true discipleship. Jesus said, “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples” (John 15:8). It is not about being busy, but about producing results that honor God. True disciples reflect Christ in their character, influence others for good, and make lasting impact.
This growth comes from staying close to Christ (John 15:5). Without a close relationship with Him, spiritual life becomes dry. Prayer, obedience, and living in God’s Word keep the believer connected to the Vine. When the heart stays aligned with God, results will show—love in action, souls won, prayers answered, and lives changed.
Growth also requires pruning (John 15:2). God removes distractions, adjusts relationships, and corrects attitudes so a believer can produce more. A disciple must accept God’s correction, knowing it prepares them for greater purpose. Though it may be painful, it leads to increase.
God desires followers who leave a lasting spiritual harvest for generations. This is about legacy—what remains after a person is gone. When a disciple lives connected, obedient, and fully yielded to God, heaven rejoices and lives are transformed. This is the true meaning of discipleship.
Prayer Nugget: Father, let my life bring honor to you and produce lasting results for your glory in Jesus name.
