Back cover message The message in this book is extremely timely. Most readers of this book will do one of two things. They will either throw it away in apparent annoyance at the convicting words embedded in it, or they will seek a place of prayer to cry to God in repentance and to request the baptism of the fruit of the Spirit. In no other generation is the need for Christians to bear fruit in the Spirit as critical as in our present generation. The arrival of the Master is extremely imminent, yet the lives and priorities of most Christians don't reflect this. Our impact in this dark world remains at the mercy of our spiritual fruitfulness. The more spiritually fruitful we are, the greater our impact. God is calling this present generation of believers to shun carnality and profanity and to embrace the real definition of Christianity, which is spiritual fruitfulness. Author's Profile Ayo Akerele holds a doctorate degree in human resource management and worked extensively as an engineer and a consultant in many multinational organizations in Africa, Europe and in North America before answering the call to ministry. Ayo Akerele is a sought-after dynamic writer, public speaker and anointed teacher of the Word. His itinerant prayer, teaching and speaking ministry under different Christian organizations has lasted for many years since he met the Lord in the early 1980s. Noted for his particular insight into the works of Jesus in the four Gospels of the New Testament and his depth of revelation in the scriptures, he carries, by the grace of God, a contagious passion for knowledge and truth in the Word of God that has positioned him as a foremost author and teacher in this generation. His deepest desire is to see the Body of Christ take its proper position in God by modelling the works and life of Christ through the teaching of the undiluted Word of God, the demonstration of valid and authentic signs and wonders and above all, the preaching of the gospel across all nations as the curtain is being drawn for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ayo Akerele is married to Omolara Olawunmi Akerele, and they are blessed with two great sons, Enoch and John.

How do you bear fruit that abides? In this book, Z.T. Fomum answers this crucial question that believers often ask themselves in their walk with the Lord. In fact, they most often ask it from discouragement. The believer must have a heart full of compassion, be aware of the needs of people without Christ, in a world lost in impotent Christianity, religion, and the like. Here, the author provides us with some rather striking and disconcerting statistics of the distribution of populations, by religion. Everyone will need to know that they have what they need, only as long as we surrender ourselves to the Lord for the blessing and multiplication of what we have. This book is to be read in prayer and with faith.

For many years, the body of Christ around the world has been subject to criticism owing to many Christians’ attitudes toward finances and the doctrine of financial prosperity. But where have things gone wrong? Many whom God has entrusted with money have used it to advance their selfish interests at the expense of the advancement of the kingdom of God and society at large. While being financially prosperous is not sinful in itself, the motive behind the desire for money and its subsequent use often conflicts with biblical standards. The Bible makes a clear distinction between Mammon and God. Both are spirits, and both influence the motive, source, and use of finances. A new breed of kingdom-minded Christians who can be entrusted with heaven’s resources must emerge. This book will surely uncover the true source and purpose of finances for Christians who desire to extend the kingdom of God on earth. In this book, you will learn: The difference between kingdom-driven prosperity and Mammon-driven prosperity. The perils and dangers of Mammon in the body of Christ. The kingdom-centered financial practices of a twenty-first century church. The blessings of giving and the correct ways to give to God and society. The biblical source of sustainable wealth for a thriving life and ministry.

Foundations of Fruitfulness is a compilation of messages shared by Pastor James R. Mosley with the members of Legacy Christian Center. This book is designed to inspire and promote both personal and spiritual growth. These messages have been drawn from Jesus' teachings and illustrations found in John 15 of the Holy Bible. Although this book was written primarily to inspire believers to become more fruitful and productive citizen of the Kingdom of God, I also believe that these truths can help give us a fresh perspective on how to deal with everyday life, family, business and etc... You will discover that each chapter of this book is relatively short. This is intentional in its design. I understand that we all live busy lives and very few people really have the time in their schedule to read a lengthy book. So each chapter is short and straight to the point. It is my hope that within these few pages you will be inspired and encouraged to become more fruitful and productive in life.

Victory and Discernment Though the Fruit of the Spirit""this reality can be our hope and encouragement for living with a winning strategy in our lives if we repent and accept God's forgiveness in our hearts. As individuals now, in the past, and in the future, we are involved in a spiritual battle of good versus evil. Satan and his cohorts are our enemy. Jesus is our Savior and Provider who loves us unconditionally. As we battle daily against false beliefs and philosophies promoted by false Christs, teachers, and those who are uninformed regarding the truth of God's Word, we can have victory in our lives. We do not need to be deceived or led astray. Understanding the fruit of the Spirit prevents us from being confused or deceived and enables us to defeat our enemies spiritually. Victory is winning a battle, struggle, or contest. It is being successful in defeating an enemy. Discernment is being able to see or recognize. With discernment and victory, we can have good judgement and understanding of God's Word and will for us. The purpose of this book is to help those who read it to distinguish the difference between true believers in Christ and false believers in Christ and to recognize the difference between true and false apostles regarding their teachings. There is clarification of how the fruit of the Spirit operates in a person's life. This clarification is accomplished by the discernment given to us by the Holy Spirit. When you look at the opposite fruit of each of the good fruit (love vs. hate), you will see the truth that "by their fruits you will know them." The knowledge here is geared to those who have accepted Christ and to those who have not accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Why are so many Christians stagnant in their faith? Why do we often live as though the gospel stops at the moment of conversion? The good news of Jesus doesn’t stop the moment we get saved. In fact, salvation is only the beginning of God’s work in our lives. We often view salvation as the ending point; it’s really the beginning point. The gospel of Jesus doesn’t only justify us; it sanctifies us. When we receive the Holy Spirit at salvation, an incredible work begins to happen in us: we begin to bear fruit. When we are firmly planted in the gospel and committed to growing in Christ, He produces in us the fruits of the Spirit, the marks of a true Christian. In Bearing Fruit, Robby Gallaty walks us through the life of the Christian. Biblical, intentional, and practical, Bearing Fruit points our hearts to the gracious God who called us, justified us, and is now sanctifying us by the work of his Holy Spirit.
