John 15:8, This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples. (NIV)

 

There is a universal desire for productivity. Most people really want their lives to count, we want our lives to matter. We want to feel useful, we want to make a difference. We don't want to waste our lives, instead, we want our lives to be productive. The people who are productive are the happiest when they're actually being productive. A truly productive life is one where the fruit lasts. There are four conditions for fruitfulness that are essential to our lives, our family, our ministry. Four secrets to a productive life: 1) I Must Cultivate Deep Roots, 2) I Must Eliminate The Weeds In My Life, 3) I Must Cooperate With God’s Pruning In My Life, 4) I Must Patiently Wait For And Expect A Harvest.
