*Topic: The Pruning Process.*
*Today’s Scripture:* “He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” John chapter 15 verse 2, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
*Message:* In life, we all go through a pruning process. God will prune our lives so that we can bear much fruit. To “prune” means something is cut away, something is removed. In other words, maybe someone you consider to be a good friend, that you counted on cut himself/herself off. Maybe a business shut down that you were connected to, or a relationship went a different direction. Friend, God knows what you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just trust that He (God) is working behind the scenes preparing you for increase, preparing you to go to another higher level. Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period. When you’re going through transition, don’t get bitter but get better. Don’t get down but get done. Don’t think it’s the end. It’s just a victorious new beginning. Don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. You’re a BIG success! Have the attitude, “God, I let this go knowing that it was only temporary provision, and what You have in my future will be greater than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will open new doors. He will bring new opportunities, new friendships, and take you to another level of His glory!
*Prayer for Today:* Father, thank You for loving me enough to work in my life. Today I release the things I don’t understand into Your hands. I believe that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. I believe that You have good things in store for my future. I choose to wait on You and trust You now and forevermore in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
*Prophetic Declaration:* God specialises in turning disappointment into glorious appointment, but you must first pass through the pruning process of God. Listen to His special promise from the Bible, that’s tailored for your present situation, as recorded in the book of First Corinthians chapter 2 verse 9. It says: “However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” — the things God has prepared for those who love him—” Grace to love God with all your heart and get this scripture fulfilled in your life is given to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
*JESUS SAID:* “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
