00:05Fruit that last. Some of the fruit you bear in your lifetime you will see. You will watch the
00:12person you invested in rise to their potential. You will see the business you built create
00:17livelihood. You will watch the ministry you poured yourself into produce transformed lives.
00:24That fruit is real and it is sweet. But some of your most significant fruit you will never see.
00:31It will be experienced by your children's children. By people who will never know your
00:36name but will benefit from the seeds you planted. Nairobi used to be called the green city in the sun.
00:43The beautiful tree-lined streets in the older parts of the city were planted by people who
00:49are long gone. They planted not for themselves but for a city they were building for the future.
00:55Their seed became our shade. I believe I came to faith in part because of my grandmother,
01:01who regularly prayed for her children and grandchildren by name. She planted seeds
01:07she could not fully see the harvest of. And here I am, one of those harvests.
01:12John 15 verse 16 says you were appointed to bear fruit that lasts. Not momentary fruit. Not one
01:21season fruit. Lasting fruit. That is legacy. The question at the end of this seven-day journey
01:27is not just, am I bearing fruit? It is, what kind of seed am I planting that will outlast me?
01:35What am I building into my children, my community, my sphere of influence,
01:40that will still be standing when I am gone? You are not here by accident. You were chosen and
01:47appointed. Now go and bear fruit that last. Prayer. Father, I want to bear fruit that last.
01:55Not just fruit that makes me look good now, but fruit that will endure, fruit that will bless
02:01generations I will never meet. Show me what seeds to plant today. Give me the long view. Help me to
02:08build something in my family, my community, and my calling that will outlast me. I am yours,
02:15chosen and appointed. Let my life reflect that. Amen. Reflect. What is one long game seed you could
02:23plant this week, in a relationship, a habit, a value, a prayer, that might bear fruit you will
02:29never personally see, but that could bless the generation after you.
