IKOYI BAPTIST CHURCH's Podcast

Say HiThe Lord designs every Christian and Church to be fruitful. Fruitfulness has to do with a life of positive impact. It is a life that counts. It is a life that flows with God’s blessings. Such life is characterized by genuine Christian Character and soul winning.Seven insights we can glean about the fruitful vineyard from our text include:God has zero tolerance for fruitlessness - V.1-2a.It is evident from both the Old and New Testament that God has zero tolerance for fruitlessness.The option for a fruitless vine is to be cut down.Judgment awaits every fruitless vine.Don’t be a fruitless vine;God will cut down every fruitless tree - Lk. 13:  She enjoys divine privileges - V.2b; Isa. 27:2-3; Lk. 10:17-20; 13:6-9.The divine privileges that go with fruitfulness are many.It is my prayer that we all shall begin to enjoy the benefits that go with being fruitful.  She must constantly depend on the Lord - V.4-5, 6.It is great folly for a believer to depend on self or any other thing or person other than the Lord
