BE FRUITFUL

 

Dear Friend:

 

First, I give honor to my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.  I pray that this first WOW Newsletter of 2025 finds you excited and thankful to God for having mercy on us to be able to see another year.

 

I want to encourage you as we start another year to Be Fruitful.  Allow the Holy Spirit, the greater one that lives on the inside of us (1 John 4:4) to create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit, so that we can be Fruitful; (Psalm 51:10)

 

We can look good from afar, but Jesus comes close to us looking for the fruit that only He can produce.  This was Jesus’ problem with the Fig tree in Mark 11:13-14.  The tree had sprouted leaves, signaling that it might produce early figs.  However, the outward of that tree wasn’t what was really on the inside of it, that’s why there was no fruit. 

 

Jesus seeing the Fig tree with leaves and no fruit was disappointed and cursed the tree saying: Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” 

By the next morning, the tree had withered.

 

This story is not about food, Jesus fasted forty days and nights and He knew how to go without food.  Cursing the fig tree was not about Jesus’ appetite, but it was rather an object lesson. 

 

Our fruit doesn’t have to be spectacular, but it must be supernatural.  The fruit that Jesus is looking for in our lives, as a child of God is the fruit that only the Holy Spirit can produce.  Rely and depend on the Holy Spirit every day, all day and all year long to produce the fruit of the Spirit in your life. 

 

As this year begins, Mennie and I are so thankful to God for your partnership and the seeds that you have planted into this ministry.  We are grateful that you are a part of what God is doing to help those in need and less fortunate than we are. 

​

Your love, prayers and support are not going unnoticed by us and definitely not by God.  We believe that every seed that you have planted by faith has come back and will continue to be multiplied back into your life 100 fold, so that you can continue to Be Blessed To Be A Blessing.  Wishing you and your family a very Happy New Year!

 

In His Will, 

Dr. Joseph Morrison, D.Min
