- Title/ Fruit of Patience
- Text/ About 5:11-17
Today, let's share grace with the fourth fruit of the Holy Spirit, “Patience”.
Saints need “long-suffering” because the process of going through this world is only a life of patience and patience.
(Galatians 5:22-23) “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
There is no law against the same.”
If the Holy Spirit truly dwells in me, those who live according to the Holy Spirit must bear concrete fruits of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
We must not ignore the Lord's warning that every tree without fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire (Matthew 3:10). If it were you, you would just leave the fruitless apple tree alone.
I sincerely hope that you will become saints who strive to bear fruit.
1, wait for the time. Verses 7-8
In today's text, “the story of how to farm” appears, because farming cannot be done without patience.
For a seed to be planted, a seed to sprout, a sprout to grow, and to bear fruit, one must know how to wait for the early rain and the latter rain along with sweaty labor to enjoy the joy of harvest.
“Hope for precious fruit and be patient”
Patience in the life of faith is waiting for standing before the Lord and being patient.
Be patient until the coming of the Lord... The coming of the Lord is near.
In Ecclesiastes 3 we read, “There is a season for everything under the heavens, and a time for every purpose to be fulfilled.”
You need to be able to wait until you reach your goal. (1994/Until the Lord comes again)
Let's wait without “leaving the church that prays” until the Holy Spirit comes and bears fruit.
(Acts 1:4-5) “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father”
(Matthew 14:13-21) “They are empty, and the time is already over”
Those who do not leave the place because the Lord is there, see the miracle of “Obyeongyi”.
2, do not grumble against each other verse 9
In the process of patience, we ask you not to create or blame each other for anything. You must repent of your life of faith without forgiveness and avoid judgment.
(Matt 5:21-26) “Before worship, before offering material, please hurry.”
God hears your grievances (Exodus 16:9).
(1 Corinthians 10:10) "Some of them grumbled, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
do not grumble like us."
The one who destroys, is deceived by the devil's tricks and speaks murmurings, but do not be destroyed and wait for the right time.
3, think of the sufferings of those who preceded you. Verses 10-11
Moses' patience in refusing to serve as an escort was because he looked forward to the reward.
(Hebrews 11:24-27) “He endured as seeing the invisible”
In the patience of the prophets was “the kingdom of the Lord.”
“So did the prophets (endure).”
The text introduces “Job,” a man who endured long and bore fruit.
(1 Corinthians 2:19) “It is beautiful if you endure sorrow because you are thinking of God even when you suffer in the dark.”
Patience is a blessing. The devil does not like our patience.
Knowing that the urge to commit suicide and the desire to give up are the devil's tricks, we must endure and destroy the devil.
“Behold, we call blessed those who persevere.”
Don't repeat the failure that I regretted if I had been patient a little longer.
(James 1:1-4) Read "Perfect Patience"
Let's throw away Naaman's appearance and our thoughts and win until God does it.
Until Jericho falls within me, let's be patient and conquer the road.
Dear saints, let's wait for the fruit of sharing the happiness that fruit gives.
