38 PRODUCE THEN ASK. You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. —John 15:16, NKJV God has already given you all that you need to produce, prosper and bear fruit. We produce little but ask for much. Yield fruit before you ask. In prayer, come with your hands filled with offering to give to the Lord. Cain came with less than his best and displeased God.
