TOPIC:         THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Part 1)

TEXT:           Gal. 5:22-23; John 15:1-8

Memory Verse: Gal. 5:22-23  

INTRODUCTION

Fruits are good for the body. In fact, the medical people say that when you eat good fruits, they help to protect your body against disease. This is because you derive what is known as vitamins and minerals from eating different types of fruits. It is these vitamins and minerals that help the body to fight against diseases.

God has blessed us with different types of fruits. We have oranges, mangoes, bananas, apples, lemon, paw-paw, pineapples and others. Different trees bear different fruits. However, a mango tree will only bear mango fruits and not pawpaw. As it is in the physical, so also it is in the spiritual. When a sinful child repents and becomes a friend of Jesus, his sins are washed away through the blood of Jesus. God then expects him to live as a new person and bear the fruit of the new life. His new life will show the fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is nine-in-one. No part must be missing in the life of a true friend of Jesus. That is why it is not called fruits of the Spirit but fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit includes;

1.         LOVE                        1 Jn. 4:8, 16; Jn. 3:16; 1 Cor. 13:4-8, 13

God is love. He gave us His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to die for our bad ways. As you accept God’s love and become a friend of Jesus, He fills your heart with His love so much that you can share with others. To love others is to show care, do good and seek for the good of other people. You will treat others the way you want them to treat you.

2.        JOY   Rom. 14:17; 1 Thess. 5:16

When you understand that God loves you and truly know that Jesus paid for your sins; joy comes into your heart. When you are passing through trials and problems, you will always remember God’s word and His love. Then your heart will be filled with joy and then you will share this joy with others.

N/B:    Just as natural fruits give us vitamins to live healthy, the fruit of the Spirit in us as believers makes us to live for Jesus.

The fruit of the Spirit in us such as love, joy etc helps us to draw others to Jesus

TOPIC:         THE FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT (Part 3)

TEXT:           Gal. 5:22-23; John 15:1-8

Memory Verse: Gal. 5:22-23  

7.         FAITH          Rom. 3:3; Heb. 11:1

This means absolute trust in God and His word. You believe God that He would do all that He has promised even when you have not seen it.

8.        MEEKNESS            Num. 12:3

To be meek is to be humble. Even when you are taking first in your examination or your parents are rich, you will not show off. You will put yourself in the position of others.

9.        TEMPERANCE     1 Cor. 9:25; Titus 1:8; 2:5

This is self control. Many children cannot control themselves when it comes to food, cheating in examination, buying things, playing games and watching films. As a Christian child, the bible wants you to be moderate in all that you do.

A sinful child cannot bear the fruit of the Spirit. He needs to be sorry and turn away from his bad ways, confess them to God and ask for forgiveness and cleansing in the blood of Jesus and receive Jesus into his heart to be his personal Saviour and Lord. Then he can receive the grace of God to bear the fruit of the Spirit.
