Cultivating the fruit of the Spirit

According to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, we have been given faith as a mustard seed to cast mountains into the sea. But what many people do not understand is that a seed is not going to command a mountain to do anything. It is the fruit of that seed that commands a mountain to be moved into the sea.

Unlike the gifts of the spirit that are given in manifestation and in full view, the fruit of the spirit is given in seed and must be cultivated underground. So how do you cultivate the fruit of the spirit and how is the seed to be sown? Read the following to become mountain movers:

1.    Love best grows in the sand.
2.    Joy best grows under cloud cover.
3.    Peace best grows in the changing of seasons.
4.    Longsuffering best grows in the heat of the day.
5.    Kindness best grows caring for the struggling plants.
6.    Goodness best grows in sowing into your neighbor’s garden.
7.    Faithfulness best grows late at night every night.
8.    Gentleness best grows in the weeding.
9.    Self-control best grows planting a garden and not running to the supermarket to reap from some one else’s garden

Sow your seed today and move a mountain tomorrow!
