Title: Trim it

He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit. John 15:2 NIRV.

Devotion: The grapes usually were on terminal branches, ditto for oranges. Once harvested the terminal branches either die of or withers to the extent it cannot bear fruit. Such branches are removed buy good Gardners because if left it will not allow the tree to sprout new branches that will bear fruit. The old dry branches will eventually kill the orchard or grape.

What's that barren fellow in your life? You have to trim it off before you die spiritually. It maybe that hobby of yours that you so much like that stopped you from bearing fruits for Christ, please trim it off. Reduce the number of times you go to that club or the amount of time spent in front of the screen.

Sorry the branches could be old friends who refused to give their lives even after much effort on them. Try once more by cutting off the fruitless branches - the self indulgences such as drinks, gambling, sport, internet surfing etc that takes much of the time. 

Dear reader, have you identified the terminal branches in your life? Trim them off so that new fruit bearing ones can grow. May God help us all. Hallelujah. Share your testimony with us.
