MFM Mountain Top Life Daily Devotional 20 December 2018 By Dr. D.K Olukoya – Bearing Fruits in Old Age (II)

TOPIC: Bearing Fruits in Old Age (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Daily Devotional 20 December 2018)

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Chronicles 10:6-8

MEMORY VERSE: “The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.” –Proverbs 16:31

The MESSAGE:

The retirement age should not be the time to idle away. You might have disengaged from active work life, but you are not expected to retire from serving the Lord and bearing fruits, even in your old age. An old or aged believer has a wealth of experience in both physical and spiritual matters that young people can benefit from. Bearing fruit in old age entails using your life, talent, time and other resources to serve God. Only those who abide in Christ in old age can bring forth good fruits for Him.

Let us examine some of the things you can do to bear fruits in old age: First, you can witness for the Lord. Sharing the gospel and winning souls are highly rewarding spiritual exercises. God cares about the perishing souls all over the world and will reward you if you reach out to them with the Great Commission and save them from eternal damnation. Second, you can intercede, as Simeon and Anna did, that the will of God be done in people’s lives, the Church as well as in nations of the world. In addition, you can use your old age to fast and pray for Christian marriages and homes as well as for pastors and ministers of the gospel. Depending on your gift and calling, you can devote your old age to counselling and mentoring young people, especially Christians. Remember that Moses was 80 years old when God called him and he served God faithfully till be died at 120 years old. Caleb was still strong and active in God’s service at a ripe old age.

Beloved, the final phase of life called old age is when you should assess your walk with God, align yourself with Him and intensify your preparation to spend eternity in heaven. It is the time to let others know all the pitfalls of life and guide them not to make the mistakes you made in different areas of life, including the spiritual life. It is when you play these roles that you are considered as being fruitful in old age and heaven will reward you handsomely.
