Topic: CLARITY FOR PRODUCTIVE RELATIONSHIPS (Part 9)

Bible text: “Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.” — Proverbs 13:20 NLT

When it comes to the subject of relating with fellow Christians, we must not be blind to the fruits that people display. Fruits don’t lie; we must stop creating excuses for negative fruits. We must understand that the fruits people display reveal who they are and the depth of their walk with God. If the tree is good, it will produce good fruit. But, if the tree is bad, it will bear only rotten fruit. In the wise words of Jesus in Matthew 7:20 (TPT), you will know a Christian by the obvious fruits of their lives and ministries. Orange trees will always produce orange fruits. We must not ignore the fruits people display and stop creating excuses for consistent lousy behaviour. It reveals their values, how they see God, where they place God in their lives, and what matters to them.
