THIS GOSPEL [FRUITFULNESS]
Tuesday Teaching and Miracle Service
Preacher: Rev. Dr. Ebenezer Okronipa
WHAT IS FRUITFULNESS?
The word fruit comes from the Greek word βKarposβ (often spelled Kapos in notes), meaning:
The result of life in a living organism
The visible evidence of vitality
Fruit is proof that you matter.
Fruit defines your existence.
When you refuse to produce fruit, extinction begins.
God wants us to do well in the area of fruitfulness.
KEY TRUTHS ABOUT LIFE AND FAITH
Sympathy never changes lives.
Faith changes circumstances.
If something happens to you, the solution is in you.
WHAT IS TRUE FRUIT?
True fruit is contained in souls.
The product of the gospel
The produce of the gospel
Lives translated from death to life
π Matthew 24:14
The gospel is Godβs message to men that brings salvation.
GOD SAVES MEN THROUGH MEN
God does not save men by angels.
π 2 Corinthians 5:18β19
π Matthew 28:19
There must be a message in your mouth.
WARNING: THE DANGER OF UNFRUITFULNESS
If you are not fruitful in soul winning, you are jeopardizing your future.
The devil fears the gospel β therefore he brings distractions.
Distraction is one of Satanβs most effective weapons.
Satan is aggressive against the gospel because:
The gospel is the power that destroys his kingdom.
THREE ILLUSTRATIONS ABOUT THE GOSPEL
A gospel kept in the church is power being wasted.
A seed kept in the bank does not grow.
Fire that stays in one place eventually dies.
The gospel is fire β if it does not spread, it weakens.
WHAT MAKES THE GOSPEL EFFECTIVE?
Spiritual power activated by prayer and the Word.
Communal love β unity and fellowship.
Population β growth through evangelism.
Seven Non-Negotiable Reasons Every Christian Must Preach the Gospel
1. Jesus Himself is a Soul Winner
2. The Harvest is Great
3. The Labourers Are Few
Everyone who believes must labor with Him.
4. The Great Commission
5. Because of Unfulfilled Prophecy Concerning His Return
6. Because Jesus is Alive and Working
There is no miracle without the gospel.
CONCLUSION
Fruitfulness is not optional β it is a command.
The proof of life is fruit.
The proof of Christianity is souls.
If the gospel is in you, it must move through you.
