Drop foxes on tender grapes

Text: Song of Solomon 2:15 (KJV)

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

As Christians, we have the great opportunity of being fruitful, and we are chosen to bear fruits. We are made in God’s image, and this privilege helps us to multiply and bear tender grapes.  But there are little foxes that spoil the vine. Unfortunately, the sweetness of grapes calls for attraction from pests, which are destructive animals that attack the juices of the grapes. We are surrounded by things which always come to waste or devour our product even as beautiful as the juicy grapes. But we must be vigilant enough to identify them so as not to be a victim to them rather drop the little foxes. Matthew 8:20- And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Friends, as God’s branch attached to the vine, we ought to bear much more fruits, but some limitations pose as hindrances. It can either be natural or man-made, but they emerge so as to fight your output. Truthfully, these little foxes aim at causing destructions, such as envy, stress, laziness, procrastination, etc, but you just need to identify which is yours and deal with it now. We need the help of God to guide our vineyard, so that our vineyard does not appear broken or dead. I tell you, my sisters and brothers, it is really amazing to know that we are that vineyard. We need to stay healthy so that our harvest can be fruitful and juicy. 

For us to enjoy the harvest and the sweetness of the vine, we need to uproot those foxes which aim at spoiling and delaying our sweet product. It says in John 15:2- Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. It may seem like those little attitudes do not matter now, but we need to lay them at God’s feet so that they will not weigh us down while running. Let us declare the Word of God over those foxes, so DO NOT KEEP QUIET. If you do all these things, you will experience a turnaround in your communion with the Holy Spirit. I pray God will help us, in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINTS: 

1. Oh Lord, I receive boldness to silence every strange habit around me in Jesus name.

2. Help me Lord to create an atmosphere with the Holy Spirit that will make the negative attitudes not to survive in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, your fruitful grape can attract those destructive pest? So guide your product.
