“You didn’t choose me! I chose you! I appointed you to go and produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what you ask for from the Father, using my name, he will give it to you.
(John 15:16 TLB)
Prayer
Father, You chose me and appointed me to go and produce lovely fruit always, so that no matter what I ask for from the Father, using Jesus Christ’s name, He will give it to me.
You have chosen me to speak out to the nations of Your people with the Gospel of Christ, through my testimony and witness. Lord, I go out in faith, believing You will lead and guide me to the people You want me to meet. I walk by faith and not by sight. I pray You would empower and equip me with the supernatural power of Your Spirit in wisdom and truth. As He has converted me and chosen me to be a disciple, I also pray that the message I bring to the people, will be the true message of Jesus Christ. You transformed me into the image of Christ, by the washing of His Word in my body, soul, spirit, and mind. He has chosen me with an eternal purpose in mind: to bear much fruit that will continue to glorify my Heavenly Father. The fruit I am talking about is a life of faith and obedience – a life that glorifies God with the right attitudes, words, and deeds that flow naturally out of a transformed heart. Jesus is the Vine, and I am a branch. A branch doesn't struggle to bear fruit. It simply remains in the Vine and allows the life-giving sap to flow through it to produce fruit. I will constantly meditate upon His Words, and the Holy Spirit will produce His fruit within me. I shall listen to His prompting today. I shall let Him bear fruit in my life moment by moment. Then the world will see I am a true follow of Christ as I abide in Him, and He is abiding within me; and I will bring great glory to our Heavenly Father through Jesus Christ, precious name. Amen.
