2Thess 1:3
We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;
KJV
One profound blessing and proof of life as revealed in the scriptures is fruitfulness (see Gen 1:28)
The brethren the apostle was writing to were actually the fruits of his work – those he had begotten through the gospel. Here, in Thessalonica, Apostle Paul had nurtured them to become brethren – associates: their faith had grown and was still growing and their love abounded more and more. What Testimony!
How did he get this result? Firstly, He did not keep his mouth shut – He preached the gospel to them (see Rom 1:16); He did not relent in prayers – He travailed, until Christ was formed in them (see Gal 4:19); He did not leave them orphans – Even while he was afar off, he appointed elders to oversee them and He followed up on their progress; He would not permit any to be lost to the evil one – He watched.
Where are your Fruits? For some, they have none, while for others, they have neglected theirs. Go into today, determined by the Spirit, to make that vacant land a fruitful field, and that fruitful field a forest ( see Isa 32:15)
PRAYER: I declare today that I am productive. I multiply! I do not bury the gospel; with it, I raise a righteous generation unto the Lord in Jesus name. Amen
