The Pruning Process

Share

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“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, NIV)

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
In life, we all go through a pruning process. God will prune our lives so that we can bear much fruit. To “prune” means something is cut away, something is removed. In other words, maybe a good friend that you counted on moved to another city. Maybe a business shut down that you were connected to, or a relationship went a different direction.

Friend, God knows what you need in your life in order to grow and flourish. Sometimes when things happen that we don’t understand, we have to just trust that He is working behind the scenes preparing you for increase, preparing you to go to another level. Don’t put a question mark where God has placed a period.

When you’re going through transition, don’t get bitter. Don’t get down and think it’s the end. Don’t start thinking that you’re a failure. Have the attitude, “God, I let this go knowing that it was only temporary provision, and what You have in my future will be greater than what I’m letting go of.” If you will accept the change and stay in faith, God will open new doors. He will bring new opportunities, new friendships, and take you to another level of His glory!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for loving me enough to work in my life. Today I release the things I don’t understand into Your hands. I believe that You are working behind the scenes on my behalf. I believe that You have good things in store for my future. I choose to wait on You and trust You now and forevermore in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen

  1. # 1 T’Bull4Lyf .Why doesn’t God prune your mother and father first before He prunes sata?What has sata done to you?Did he sleep with your mother and you learnt about it?Grow up !

    • what sata has done to me?he has startd a war against my tribesmen.get that s.u.c.k.e.r?he had a cum shot in your mother’s 2 holes nowonder he cant think like a normal person.pray 4 him coz he doesnt realise that fighting my tribe has potential to put your kolwestan zambia on fire.

    • Forgive T’Bull4Lyf?? for he does not know that what he just wrote to you is a big sin. May the almighty guide him to repentance?

    • # 1 T’Bull4Lyf, I have been reliably informed that you claimed sata to be your father but he refused.your mother slept with 7 men and didn’t know who made her pregnant.you came out of your mother’s ass and not the usual exit that’s why you behave the way you do.too bad for you man !!

  2. Thank you Heavenly Father for your ever presence in my life. Thank you for Loel and Victoria with these uplifting messages that make every sunday a day I look forward to. Glory be to you Heaveny Father. Amen

  3. what sata has done to me?he has declared war against my tribesmen.get that sucker?he had a cum shot in your mother’s 2 holes thats why he cant think like a normal person.

  4. AMEN, very encouraging message and song. We thank you Lord for everything you have done for us. In your name we stand and shall prosper, in Jesus name: AMEN

    • I wonder how you would feel we we ask the lord to Prune you, as you have so much hate?? The bible say love your neighbor as you love yourself.

  5. @1 T’Bull4Lyf: your message on both 1 and your reply to @2 One Zambia, is way out of context. This is a word of god and if you can use such language?? Who are we to Judge you? You know what you are doing? I edge you to reflect and consider apology. God will serve you.
    Would be good if you can tell us what SATA has done?? LT this is why we have always requested to let people register with their details so that we avoid such hate and insults.
    May the lord guide you in all what you do? ONE ZAMBIA IN THE NAME OF THE LORD. AMEN

  6. Joel & Victoria please continue, this is awesome in Jesus’s name. I am personally thankful for your works … May the good of the Lord shine in your lives…
    Amen.

  7. i can c how people are struggling to comment on issues to do with christianity yet they are busy attacking BAN MOON over homo ati zambia is a christian country.a christian country were 90% of us can not discuss christian matters intelligently.i expect more comments here than on political matters.

  8. May the Lord have mercy on us Zambians.We have a president people’s choice let us accord the president the respect he has constitutional powers to govern this country.We need such leaders at the moment who have the heart to serve the poor and not crooks who hide money God will punish such characters

  9. At the ones above, love one another, God gave us SATA to show us his purpose. All things that SATA might do to anger us is so as next time we should elect a man or woman of valor like esther or better Ruth. We shall stand up for Jesus as one and remember it is a personal relationship but God can save and bless the whole Zambia. He blessed us with a miraculous AFCON win. Now let’s repent and he shall make us great it’s in the bible. Amen and praise be to the most high Jehovah in Jesus’s name.
