“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.” (John 15:2)
The more I meditate on God’s word, the more I get awed by how packed it is with practical wisdom for life.
In the verse above, we learn how God maximizes His output by applying these two principles:
(1) God cuts off every branch that does not bear fruit.
(2) God prunes every branch that is fruitful so that it will be even more fruitful.
Here, God shows us the way to productivity. We all have certain things in our lives which are fruitless. They could be certain activities, relationships, events, or things which do not contribute positively to our output in life. In order to be productive, we must cut off the fruitless factors in our lives. Learning to say NO and getting rid of what doesn’t augur well for our productivity will allow us time and space to focus on what really makes us fruitful.
We must then invest our time and efforts in what yields fruit for us. The things that contribute to our relevance require our undivided attention. Spend more time pruning (working on) your skills and talents, knowledge, relationships and activities which make you fruitful so that you will be even more fruitful.
Remain inspired!
