Audio Version
Galatians 5:22 (KJV) – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith…”
As believers, we have received the nature of God through faith in the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit’s presence in our lives is designed to transform us, metamorphose into the likeness of Christ, influencing our thoughts, words, and actions as we yield to him. The Fruits of the Spirit, as outlined in our opening scripture, are the hallmarks of a life surrendered to His leading.
These spiritual fruits – love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, and faith – are not merely emotional feelings or superficial characteristics, but rather the natural outflow of a heart that is yielded to the Spirit’s control.
When we invite the Holy Spirit to guide us daily, position our hearts to hear His voice, and take bold steps to obey Him, these fruits begin to manifest in our lives.
As the Spirit’s fruit grows in us, our spirits are strengthened, and we become empowered to overcome the pull of the flesh and resist the temptations of this world. We are able to walk in the freedom and victory that Christ has provided for us, and our lives become a testament to the transforming power of the Gospel. What a miracle!
Therefore, as you reflect on your life today, ask yourself: Are the Fruits of the Spirit truly evident in you? Are there areas where you still struggle with the flesh? Hand these struggles over to the Holy Spirit in prayer. Choose to walk with Him daily by keeping your heart open to His voice. As you follow the Spirit’s leading, the character of Christ will become increasingly evident in you, and your life will shine brightly, bringing glory to your Father in heaven, and a true testament to the transforming power of the Gospel. Hallelujah!
Start-up Prayer
Father in the name of Jesus., Help me to yield to your leading and cultivate the Fruits of the Spirit in my life. Give you the strength to overcome the pull of the flesh and resist the temptations of this world. In Jesus’ name, Amen
