An instructor at Rhema Bible Training Center once told me, "The fruit of the Spirit is the evidence that we have of knowing God and walking with God."
Hey! All of us need to be fruit salesman. We need to have a cart filled to the top with fruit and we need to go around selling that fruit every day!
We need to shout, "Fruit for sale. I've got fruit today. Get your fruit right here!"
Fresh Fruit
Why? Well...think about it. This is no different than one of the largest grocery stores...if you are continually handing out fruit then it's ALWAYS going to be fresh.
On the other hand, if you only give your fruit out once in awhile, like only when you're in the mood, some of that fruit at the bottom of your cart is going to get rotten.
Do you know what happens to that rotten fruit at the bottom? It starts to rot some of the good stuff on the top!
Ever hear a famous football player say, "I play when I want to play?" (Okay, we won't go there....) Nope, you can't just give out your spiritual fruit only when you feel like it. You need to give of your supply each day, that way it's always fresh! Not only that, you will always have the evidence that you know God and you are walking with Him!
"The willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land" (Isa. 1:19).
God gave you good fruit...now go give it away!
