This book come from thirty thin books derived from the material of my sermon which was then made into four books consisting of a combination of seven to eight thin books. The four books each take one of the book titles as the combined title of the book.

The third book is entitles “Becoming a Fruitful People of God” which consists of seven books, where other books are: The Fruit of the Spirit, Victorious People, Be Converted and Become as Little Children, Our Speech, Joy and Main Duties of a Servant of God.

The fourth book is entitles “Faith and Deeds” which contains mostly books discussing topics related to end times. The book consists of eight books where other books are: 5 Foolish Virgins and Wise Ones, God’s Promise to Provide, Heaviest Temptations, A People Prepared for the Lord, To Do the Will of the Father, Loving God and Give Glory unto the Lord.

Most readers like these books because they are thin so they can be read on a trip or while they are waiting because they are generally finished in twenty to thirty minutes. Other than that, the books are also easy to understand because they are simply explained with examples and written in simple language. Even so, each topic was discussed in sufficient depth accompanied by supporting verses and testimony in some books. So that these books not only contain theological explanations about a topic but also contain a testimony of the experience of the writer and his family when doing the topic.

Besides these books are also in demand by Pastors and Servants of God because these books come from sermon material so that they can deliver the contents of the book in the form of sermons.

As for this third book, each topic of the books explains the following matters:

Becoming a Fruitful People of God

The concept of 'fruit-bearing' in the new testament is very important to comprehend by Christ’s followers as the Lord Jesus said that every branch that bears no fruit will be cut off and thrown away. (John 15:2). There are three basic principles that we must have in order to bear fruit.

The Fruit of the Spirit
Galatians 5:22-23 explains that the fruit of the Spirit is composed of 9 attributes forming a unity which is the fruit of the Spirit. Nevertheless, these 9 things can be divided into 3 parts, namely that:

Relating to the Lord God: love, joy, and peace.
Relating to human beings: forbearance, kindness, and goodness.
Relating to oneself: faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
Victorious People

It is very important to be victorious people, the ones who keep a steadfast faith in Christ until the end of their lives. And God has already provided the armor or defensive equipment, as well as ways for us to be able to stand firm as victorious people, as describes in Ephesian 6:10-18.

Be Converted and Become as Little Children
The Lord Jesus explained that there were two requirements for children of God to fulfill to be allowed to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, which were to "be converted" and "become as little children". (Matthew 18:3). So, it's important for us to understand and do both of these things so we don't go to hell.

Our Speech
As God's children, we are taught not to talk much and not to utter vain words. The Lord Jesus reminds us that the gift of salvation we get is attributed to our confession or the words we utter. And He also warns us that we can deny our belief or turn away from our faith with our speech. Our speech can be as song of praise. Although the purpose is to praise God, we still ought to consider carefully the words of our praise, because in some songs of praise nowadays the words are inappropriate even impertinent.

Joy
Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 4:4
" Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
"Is it possible for someone in this world to always rejoice in any circumstance?"
Most of us would probably answer that no man can rejoice always, though the Bible explains that we can. How so?

Main Duties of a Servant of God
According to some theologians the main duties of a servant of God is: to serve diligently, to do great things, and keeping high goals and use our talents. If we study some of the Bible characters who pleased God, we did not find the craft of their service, their great work nor their high goals and their special talents.

The main duties or tasks of God's servants was among others recorded in Matthew 5:19, and in Ephesians 6:19-20.
