THEME:
Have You The Right Fruit? III.

MEMORY VERSE:
“To everything, there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”
Ecclesiastes 3:1.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Ecclesiastes 3:9-11.
“What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last part of this series, we looked at the benefits of having the right environment and allocation for growth and fruitfulness. That is, your environment is as important as your allocation.

Meanwhile, If you are in a good location without the right allocation, you can be malnourished and if you have the right allocation in the wrong environment you can be robbed of your blessings.

The season of life or time cannot be neglected, your capacity at Spring, Summer, Autumn, or Winter will simply indicate your own best time, while some are incapacitated at your best and you below average in their zenith.

In summary, whatever season of life you are now, there is a purpose attached to that season. Beloved, wait for it, the time will surely tell, the kind of fruit you are made to produce. And don’t forget that the scripture says, *”He hath made everything beautiful in his time:”* Shalom!

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus’ love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
For me, the Lord hath made everything beautiful in His time.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty Father, you have time and seasons in Your hands and made everything beautiful in Your time. Help me Lord, to make good use of my time in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

Enjoy!

_The Potter’s Touch_

In a small village, there lived a young potter named Rachel. She had learned the art of pottery from her father, who had learned from his father before him. Rachel’s passion was to create beautiful, functional pieces that would bring joy to those who used them.

One day, Rachel received a special commission from the local church to create a set of cups for communion. She was determined to make these cups perfect, reflecting the holiness and reverence of the occasion.

As she worked, Rachel remembered the words of the apostle Paul, “You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies” (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). She realized that her work was not just about creating functional cups but about honoring God in every detail.

Rachel poured her heart and soul into the project, carefully shaping and refining each cup. She prayed over each one, asking God to guide her hands and infuse the cups with a sense of reverence and holiness.

When the cups were finished, Rachel presented them to the church leaders. They were amazed at the beauty and craftsmanship of the cups. But more than that, they sensed the reverence and holiness that had gone into creating them.

As the congregation used the cups for communion, they felt a deeper connection to God. They remembered the words of Jesus, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me” (Luke 22:20).

Rachel’s experience reminded her that holiness is not just about separation from the world but about being set apart for a purpose. She realized that her work, when done with reverence and dedication, could be an act of worship.

As she continued to create, Rachel sought to live out the words of 1 Peter 1:15-16, “But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’”

Rachel’s story illustrates that holiness is not just a theological concept but a lived experience. It is about allowing God’s presence to permeate every aspect of our lives, transforming us and our work into acts of worship.

_Reflection:_

– How can you infuse your daily work and activities with a sense of reverence and holiness?
– In what ways can you honor God in your thoughts, words, and actions?
– What does it mean for you to be set apart for a purpose, and how can you live out that purpose?

THEME:
Have You The Right Fruit? I.

MEMORY VERSE:
“And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down.”
Isaiah 5:5.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Isaiah 5:2, 4
“And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes… What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
The husbandman has planted his field in due season with timely care and love. The work is done, and the result is awaited with great expectations. The question today is, Am I living up to God’s expectations? Our today’s text brings to mind, the picture of a likely scenario of failed expectations.

Meanwhile, our text emphasizes the efforts put in place by the husbandman. As God cultivates our lives, He daily ensures we are safe, growing, and healthy, not only that, he expects us to bear good and right fruits.

Do know that as Christians, a lot has been deposited in our lives by God and that we dare not to joke with it, such as the gift of life, sound health, spiritual gifts, talents, skills, and other things that are beyond our understanding.

In conclusion, God is looking for results, mind you, not just any result but the one that complements or equals the effort. The question is, what are your results or fruit right now? Are you bearing the right and sweet fruit? Or wrong and sour fruits? Check it out today.

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus’ love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I shall bear sweet and right fruits always. My results shall be pleasant and acceptable to God.

PRAYER POINT:
Father, help me to daily check my life and not to be cut off from You. Give me the grace to bear good and lasting fruits in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Many a time, life’s situations make us doubt ourselves, our family, our relationships and even God. Oftentimes, you hear people say; if I had this or that, I shouldn’t be here or experience this or that. Some will say, why do I have to fail when others succeed?

This implies that, although all hope is lost, God will restore all. Are you lost and confused, God will lead you through and make a way for you?

THEME:
Where Will You Be?

MEMORY VERSE:
“And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.”
Matthew 25:10.

TODAY’S TEXT:
Matthew 25:2-5.
“And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Today, I just want you to ask yourself this question when Jesus comes, where will I be? Reading the complete parable of the ten virgins highlights two major points, which are Waiting patiently and Adequate preparation or Readiness to receive the coming of the righteous bridegroom; Jesus.

Beloved, are you anticipating the second coming of Jesus? If no, start today, that you may be found in Him. And if yes, what is your level of preparation? Is it a top-notch or below-average preparation? Be wise today and gear up, don’t be numbered among the fools.

Beloved, there will always be time, to do this or that so we tell ourselves, and forget to do the needful. When that time appears and we fail to do the right thing, there and then you will find yourself to blame for any in-actions, where it matters most.

In summary, if Jesus came today, will you go with Him? Whether through Death or Rapture call on Jesus today for grace and strength as you patiently wait on Him. But then, we must be spotless and ready to enter with Him. Ask yourself again today, when He comes where will I be? Receive grace to enter with Jesus in Jesus’ name. Amen. Shalom!

To God’s glory alone.

God bless you.
Till He returns or calls you home, do remain in the power of Jesus’ love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.

DAILY CONFESSION:
I will be fully ready as I wait patiently for my soon-coming King; Jesus.

PRAYER POINT:
Almighty God and Father, help me to always be prepared and ready to answer Your call whenever You beckon. Help me, Lord, with the grace to make the number at last in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Yours in Christ,
The Narrow Way Team.
