Lesson 158: FRUITFUL LIVES & FAITHFUL ONES – 3

In the second part of this series, we saw some ingredients of a fruitful life.
These include compassion, active love. Sacrificial praising of God. These are
in addition to the ingredients that we discovered in part one like putting Jesus
First, holiness, loving God reading, meditating on, and doing the Word of
God. In this study, we want to look at one major ingredient of a fruitful life. It
is called faith, Heb. 11:6, May the Almighty increase our faith greatly today
even as we study at His feet in Jesus, Name. Amen.

1. FAITH IS THE FERTILIZER FOR THE TREE OF LIFE
Faith is the fertilizer for the tree of life, if faith is absent, the tree of
life of any man will be on a barren ground and fruitless. The Bible
is full of great men and women whose lives were great testimonies
simply because they had faith in God. From patriarchs to a harlot,
they got their names immortalized in the Book of hooks by over
coming great odds through simple faith in the Almighty God. Some
of these men and women include names like: Noah. Abraham,
Sarah, Moses, Joshua. Rahah, Elijah, the widow of Zarephat,
b.lisha. Naaman, the Shunamite woman, Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego. Mary, Paul and Silas, just to mention a few. they
were human beings like us. Their God is our God. May our faith
lie greater than theirs in Jesus, name. Amen.
