Colossians 1:10 (KJV) That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.

Weeks passed, and Brian could no longer bear the toll his compromise had taken. Not only was his fellowship with the Lord unfruitful, but his academics also suffered. The energy and zest he once had were drained because he was no longer drawing strength from the Lord. This realization pushed him to quickly repent and leave the frat group.

The joy of the Lord gives us the strength to live fruitfully as God's children. When we receive the life of Christ and crucify the Adamic life (our old sinful nature), we must remain connected to Christ to continue drawing from His strength. Abiding in Christ means allowing the power of the old nature to die, making us fully dependent on the divine life of Christ. If we disconnect from this life, we would become weak and miserable because the old life no longer sustains us, and without Christ, we are powerless.

Those who have experienced the blessedness of walking in the Spirit know that if the Holy Spirit is grieved and His joy diminishes, even ordinary tasks become burdensome. Truly, for such disciples, apart from Christ, they can do nothing (John 15:5).

As today's Bible verse reminds us, God’s plan is for us to be fruitful in every good work. This fruitfulness comes when we abide in Christ and allow His divine nature to replace our old nature. It is through His strength that we can live effectively and fulfill God’s purposes.

Go into today remembering that those who are in Christ are ineffective without the power of the Holy Spirit. But with the Holy Spirit, nothing good that God has purposed shall be impossible.

Prayer: Lord, help me to continually abide in You and draw from Your strength so I may walk in fruitfulness and fulfill Your purpose for my life. Amen.

—Abraham Damilola Arigi
