" For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ " (2 Pet 1:8) In this text, the Apostle Peter mentions two kinds of people - those who are barren and those who are unfruitful. It is our intention in this series to study these two sets of individuals and find out why they are the way they are and how we can avoid becoming that way! So let's start with the barren. .
Barrennes is a bad thing. To be barren is to lack the ability to produce fruit. Remember what we said about success, that it is the ability to produce the right fruit at the right time. No matter what you do - business, marriage, academics, ministry, etc; there are fruits that are expected of you and your endeavour. If those fruits are not seen, that is when people say that you are not successful.
Some people are unfruitful because they CANNOT bear fruit. They lack the ability to bear fruits. What it takes to bear fruits is seeds. Take note of this. If you do not have seeds, you cannot bear fruits. So barren people lack seeds in them.
That's why they are unfruitful!
Prayer
Heavenly Father, drop your seed in me. I want to be fruitful this year. May the seed you have put in me bear fruits as I work on it in Jesus name. Amen
