Key Verse:

“Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit…”

— John 15:8

Rooted Truth:

Fruit that abides does not stop with us—it multiplies through us.

Faith Story:

In nature, fruit always carries seed.

An apple does not simply nourish; it contains the potential for more trees. In the same way, spiritual fruit is never meant to be contained within one life. God grows fruit in us so that it may extend beyond us.

Jesus spoke often about multiplication. A small seed becomes a tree. A few loaves feed a multitude. A handful of faithful disciples carry the gospel to the nations. What begins in quiet obedience can ripple outward in ways unseen.

-When love multiplies, relationships are restored.

-When faithfulness multiplies, trust deepens.

-When courage multiplies, others are strengthened.

Multiplication does not always mean visibility—it means influence. It is the steady impact of a life surrendered to God.

The fruit of the Spirit, lived consistently, becomes contagious. Patience influences families. Integrity shapes workplaces. Joy steadies communities. Faithfulness inspires others to remain steadfast.

God does not measure fruitfulness by size, but by faithfulness. And when fruit is rooted in Christ, it carries eternal seed.

A life that abides in Christ becomes a life that multiplies for His glory.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Matthew 13:23 – “Which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold…”

2 Timothy 2:2 – “Commit thou to faithful men…”

Colossians 1:6 – “Which is come unto you… and bringeth forth fruit…”

Daily Practice:

Ask God how your faith might intentionally invest in someone else this week—through encouragement, mentorship, or prayer.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, let the fruit You grow in me bless others. Use my life to multiply truth, love, and faithfulness. May what You plant in my heart produce lasting impact for Your kingdom.

Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Who has influenced your faith through their fruitfulness?

• How can your life multiply faith in others?

• What seed might God be calling you to plant this week?
