Read John 12:24-26 from your Bible
When you put a seed in the ground, it comes under some form of pressure. This pressure is required for it to become a fruit. So, the seed goes into the earth and dies in the earth. But later, life emerges from that same region of death! Two grains of corn were put in the ground, but they bring forth for you an average of six hundred grains on each cob! Sometimes you might have three cobs on one stem, just from two grains of corn that had to die!
That’s how fruitful Christianity becomes when you become thoroughly dedicated to God.
Nothing multiplies until it is sown! So until your life becomes a seed, planted in the ground of the kingdom, it will not have the colour God has ordained for it. Dedication is what determines the flow of life from God to you. It is putting yourself inside the kingdom earth, for a fruitful destiny.
Jesus said, “I am the vine, ye are the branches.” We have been grafted in and as long as we stay there, we’ll keep on drawing life directly from the vine. Whatever obtains in the vine naturally becomes our own lot. “For to him that is joined to all the living, there is hope…” (Ecclesiastes. 9:4)
If the branch gets off the vine, there’s no more hope for it. It may still look green, but it’s only for a while, it will soon dry up.
shalom!
