Living in the VINE

 

Text: John 15:4-5 (KJV)

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Friends, we are in a world filled with distractions, but staying focused is what we need to abide in His presence that makes us to live in the vine.  Hence, this involves sticking with Jesus in all our endeavours. So, living in the vine requires us dwelling in God and God in us because we are like a branch who needs the vine to survive. Psalm 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. So, our source of nourishment is from the almighty, therefore we should not shift away from His agenda. Indeed, we can do nothing on our own. Therefore, for us to continue to bear fruits, we must get connected with our source of power and strength as He purges us of every form of unfruitfulness as to make us bear more fruits.

Amazingly, we have to build up a deep spiritual stability that brings about growth and sustainability. 1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. It is not a time to drift from God but to abide in Him with His word as to be cleansed and purged away from negativity. We should not be occasional in connection rather continual connection with the Master.  John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Remember, it is not a one off event with Christ. So, we must live on daily dependence on God as we receive strength and guidance from Jesus. I pray we shall have constant union with lasting fellowship with God the father, Son and the Holy Spirit in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1.Father, help us to abide cheerfully and faithfully as to bear fruits in this kingdom in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE: Remember, we need daily walk and communication with Jesus.
