There is only answer to my pride, my reputation, my tongue, my time, and my plans. If I desire to bring forth good spiritual fruit in my service to our Lord, It must die. I must die to my pride and whatever self-serving aspect of my flesh that is being catered to. Jesus says, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” Jhn 12:24 Yes, this may sound rough and harsh, but the closer we come into a clearer grasp of who Jesus is and what He desires to accomplish through us, we see only one conclusion for our flesh. It must die. The challenge is before us, when it comes to the amount of fruit in your life, do you want a little or a lot?
