Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: Produce good fruits
Text: Matthew 3:4-10 (NIV):
"3:4. John's clothes were made of camel's hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist. His food was locusts and wild honey.
3:5. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.
3:6. Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
3:7. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
3:8. Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
3:9. And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
3:10. The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."
SHOWER (Reflection):
When a tree produces good fruits, the owner shields it from cutting, trimming or so. The owner will take care of it manure , protect it from animals and other things that can harm or destroy it. But when a tree does not beer fruits, it will be cut down and replaced with new. This same scenario applies in the Church of God or Christendom. Anyone who must serve God must do this in truth and honesty, allowing their character and life to show. Do not be showing your goodness only in a church or neighborhood. Let your 'yes' be 'yes' and 'no' be 'no' any everywhere. May God help us to preach His word by living a good life in Jesus name, Amen.
