THANKS 🙏 LESSON: Matthew 7:16-20 As a matter of fact, today's message is a self reflection, that's why it's topic is: TOPIC: WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN AM I? TEXT: You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:16–20 (NKJV) INTRODUCTION: It is easy to ask, “What kind of church do I attend?” or “What kind of Christians are around me?” But today, God is asking a more personal question: What kind of Christian am I? Christianity is more than attending church, carrying a Bible, singing worship songs, or being known as a believer. Jesus wants our faith to be visible in the way we live, speak, love, forgive, serve and represent Him. The real test of Christianity is not simply what we profess with our lips, but what our lives produce. Be immensely blessed by the word in Jesus name. EXPOSITION: With a sincere mind, let's examine and consider these 3 basic important points. 1. WHAT KIND OF FRUIT IS MY LIFE PRODUCING? Matthew 7:16–20; Galatians 5:22–23; John 15:4–5 Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits.” Notice that Jesus did not say people would be known merely by their appearance, religious vocabulary, church position or spiritual title. He said they would be known by their fruit. Fruit is evidence of what is happening inside a tree. In the same way, our daily conduct reveals what is happening in our hearts. A Christian may speak about love, but how do I treat people who offend me? I may talk about forgiveness, but can I forgive those who hurt me? I may preach holiness, but what happens when nobody is watching? I may say that I trust God, but what happens when I face disappointment? These are the moments when our fruit becomes visible. Galatians 5:22–23 describes the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. This gives us something practical to examine. Is there love in me? Is there patience in me? Is there self-control in me? Can people see Christ in the way I respond under pressure? Because sometimes, the greatest testimony we preach is not from the pulpit. It is through our behaviour when life does not go according to our expectations. Jesus also said in John 15:5, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit.” Fruitfulness is therefore connected to our relationship with Christ. We cannot consistently produce Christlike character while living far from Christ. The question is not whether we once produced good fruit. The question is: What is my life producing now? EXPOSITION: 2. AM I A LIGHT THAT LEADS PEOPLE TO CHRIST OR A STUMBLING BLOCK? Matthew 5:14–16; Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:12 Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” That means our Christianity is not supposed to remain inside the church building. People are watching us. Our neighbours are watching. Our colleagues are watching. Our family members are watching. Young people are watching. Even people who disagree with Christianity are watching. Sometimes, before they read the Bible, they read our lives. This is why we must ask ourselves a difficult question: Does my lifestyle make people desire to know Jesus, or does it give them another reason to reject Him? A Christian can become a stumbling block through bitterness, dishonesty, hypocrisy, arrogance, unforgiveness, gossip, immoral behaviour or an abusive attitude. Imagine telling someone that Jesus changes lives, while that person consistently sees anger, hatred and dishonesty in our own life. What message are we communicating? Romans 14:13 tells believers not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in another believer’s way. This does not mean that we live our lives based on people's opinions. It means we recognize that Christian freedom carries Christian responsibility. Our lives should make the Gospel attractive, not contradictory. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” The purpose of our light is not to make people admire us. It is to make them glorify God. So, when people encounter me, what do they encounter? Christ or character problems? Grace or hostility? Truth or hypocrisy? Love or bitterness? We cannot preach the Gospel effectively with our mouths while preaching a different gospel with our lifestyle. EXPOSITION: 3. AM I OBEYING CHRIST OR AM I ONLY PRACTISING RELIGION? John 14:15; James 1:22–25; Matthew 28:19–20 Jesus said plainly: “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” That means genuine Christianity must eventually produce obedience. It is possible to become very familiar with church activities while becoming unfamiliar with obedience to Christ. We can attend services, participate in programmes, sing loudly, pray publicly and even hold positions in church, yet still ignore the simple commands of Jesus. Jesus commanded us to love one another. He commanded us to forgive. He commanded us to serve. He commanded us to make disciples. He commanded us to preach the Gospel. He commanded us to live as lights in a dark world. The question therefore becomes: Am I doing what Jesus asked me to do? James 1:22 warns us not to be merely hearers of the Word, but doers. Hearing God's Word without obeying it can create the illusion of spiritual maturity. Knowledge is not the same as obedience. Knowing that we should forgive is not forgiveness. Knowing that we should evangelize is not evangelism. Knowing that we should love is not love. Knowing that we should live holy is not holiness. At some point, the Word we hear must become the life we live. And this includes the Great Commission. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19–20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Every Christian may not stand behind a pulpit, but every Christian has a responsibility to represent Christ. There is somebody around us who needs encouragement. Somebody needs to hear the Gospel. Somebody needs to see forgiveness. Somebody needs to see genuine Christian love. Somebody may be watching our life and wondering whether Jesus is truly real. So the question is not merely: “Am I a Christian?” The deeper question is: “What kind of Christian am I?” Am I a Christian by name, or by transformation? Am I only a church member, or am I a disciple of Jesus? Am I carrying the name of Christ while refusing to carry His character? This brings us to the conclusion of the message. CONCLUSION: Today, the mirror is before us. Not before our neighbour. Not before another church member. Not before society. Before me. What kind of Christian am I? May our Christianity be more than words, titles and religious activities. May our lives produce good fruit, shine as lights, and demonstrate obedience to Christ. Let people encounter us and see something that points them back to Jesus. CLOSING PRAYER: Let us pray! Lord Jesus, make us genuine representatives of Your kingdom. Let our lives produce good fruit, let our character reflect You, and let our actions never become a stumbling block to others. Help us to love, forgive, serve and obey You faithfully. May our lives point people to Christ. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen. GOODWILL MESSAGE: This is my goodwill message for you this week: May your life become a living testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ. May your words carry grace, your character reveal Christ, and your actions draw others closer to God. May your faith remain fruitful, your light continue to shine, and your life bring glory to your Father in heaven. Amen. HAPPY WONDERFUL SUNDAY, HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK. LIKE IT OR NOT!

🌿 M3SPOT Kingdom Circle Daily Devotion 📅 Date: August 12, 2025 📖 Theme: Walking in Wisdom 🔖 Series: Living Supernaturally 📜 Scripture: “Anyone who shows their neighbor no respect lacks good sense. But a person with understanding controls their words.” — Proverbs 11:12 (ERV) 📖 Devotional Message: Speaking with Grace and Restraint In a world quick to speak and slow to listen, disrespect often flows freely, especially in moments of anger or disagreement. But God’s wisdom calls us to a higher standard — to respect others and guard our words. Disrespect not only wounds relationships but also reveals a lack of maturity and self-control. It’s easy to react with harshness when emotions run high, but wisdom teaches us to pause, think, and respond with grace. This isn’t weakness — it’s strength under control. When we choose to honor others, even those who offend us, we reflect God’s heart. Respecting others doesn’t mean agreeing with everything they do; it means valuing them as people created in God’s image. And when we control our words, we prevent unnecessary conflict and keep our witness intact. The Holy Spirit empowers us to respond with patience, choose silence over harmful speech, and build bridges instead of walls. 🔎 1. Honor All People Treat everyone with dignity as God’s creation. 📖 “Show proper respect to everyone…” (1 Peter 2:17) 🔎 2. Guard Your Tongue Speak words that bring life, not destruction. 📖 “The tongue has the power of life and death…” (Proverbs 18:21) 🔎 3. Listen Before Speaking Seek understanding before responding. 📖 “Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak…” (James 1:19) 🔎 4. Avoid Gossip and Slander Don’t spread words that harm others’ reputations. 📖 “Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths…” (Ephesians 4:29) 🔎 5. Respond in Love Even correction should be given in gentleness. 📖 “…speak the truth in love…” (Ephesians 4:15) 🌿 Today’s Reminder: Wisdom shows itself in the way we treat others and in the words we choose to speak — or not speak. 🛐 Prayer Point: Father, Help me to walk in wisdom and humility. Teach me to respect others, even when it’s hard, and to guard my words so they reflect Your heart. Let my speech bring healing, not harm, and draw people closer to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🗣 Declaration of Faith: I am wise in my speech. I choose respect over pride, understanding over quick judgment. My words are guided by the Holy Spirit, and my life reflects God’s love and wisdom daily. 🎶 Worship Focus of the Day: 🎧 “Christ Our Wisdom" — Sovereign Grace Music. 🎵 Listen: https://youtu.be/ixLXQz8b4n4?list=RDixLXQz8b4n4 Let this song remind you to stay filled with God’s Spirit, so your words and actions overflow with His love. #M3SPOTDevotion #WisdomInSpeech #GuardYourWords #RespectAndHonor #ChristlikeLiving #M3SPOTKingdomCircle #SupernaturalLiving #SpiritLedWords #LivingInWisdom #GodlyCharacter

🌿 M3SPOT Kingdom Circle Daily Devotion 📅 Date: August 11, 2025 📖 Theme: Reflecting God’s Nature 🔖 Series: Living Supernaturally 📜 Scripture: “Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children.” — Ephesians 5:1 (NIV) 📖 Devotional Message: Becoming Like Our Father Children naturally mirror their parents — in mannerisms, speech, and even habits. As God’s beloved children, we are called to do the same: to reflect His love, purity, and kindness in every area of our lives. Imitating God is not about striving in our own effort to “look holy” but about living so closely with Him that His nature flows through us naturally. When we spend time in His Word, in worship, and in fellowship with His Spirit, we begin to think His thoughts, speak His truth, and act in His love. The more we behold Him, the more we become like Him. Your kindness, patience, forgiveness, and integrity become living evidence of the God you serve. In a world that desperately needs light, your Christlike character becomes a beacon that draws others to Him. 🔎 1. Walk in Love God’s love is unconditional — our love should reflect the same. 📖 “Love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12) 🔎 2. Live in Holiness We reflect His purity when we refuse to conform to worldly corruption. 📖 “Be holy, for I am holy.” (1 Peter 1:16) 🔎 3. Speak Life Our words should uplift, encourage, and align with truth. 📖 “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt.” (Colossians 4:6) 🔎 4. Forgive Freely God forgave us before we ever deserved it — so should we. 📖 “Forgive, as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13) 🔎 5. Shine as Light Our lives should reflect the brightness of God’s truth. 📖 “You are the light of the world… let your light shine before others.” (Matthew 5:14–16) 🌿 Today’s Reminder: To imitate God, stay close to Him. The more you dwell in His presence, the more naturally His character will shine through you. 🛐 Prayer Point: Father, Help me to be a true reflection of Your love and nature. Teach me to live in purity, speak life, forgive freely, and walk in Your light daily. Let my life draw others to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. 🗣 Declaration of Faith: I am a beloved child of God. I reflect His nature in my thoughts, words, and actions. I walk in love, live in holiness, speak life, forgive freely, and shine brightly. God’s image is seen in me daily. 🎶 Worship Focus of the Day: 🎧 “More Like Jesus” – Passion 🎵 Listen: https://youtu.be/-bKxYbVCXoQ Let this song remind you that becoming more like God starts with surrendering your heart to Him. #M3SPOTDevotion #ImitateGod #BeLikeTheFather #WalkInLove #LightOfTheWorld #ChristlikeLiving #M3SPOTKingdomCircle #SupernaturalLiving #DailySurrender #SpiritFormedCharacter
