THE BRANCH

Text: John. 15:1-2.

“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper.2 Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes,and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.

in the natural,  trees don't struggle to produce fruits provided that all things are equal. These "all things" include factors like the soil,  the sun, water etc.  The same thing applies in the Spirit. 

As a matter of fact,  all the factors responsible for fruit bearing in the life of a child of God are more constant than what obtains in the natural. 

The Almighty God is the Vineyard dresser or the Gardener. Unlike the natural tree,  you are not even the tree, Jesus is,  you are only a branch in the tree. This implies that all the nutrients necessary for your productivity would be aptly provided. 

The only thing you are required to doas a branch is to abide(stay or remain) in the Vine. Once you are in Him, and His word is in you, then fruitbearing is inevitable. 

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.Joh 15:4.,6.

It is possible for you to be in the vine and for the vine not to be in you. It is possible to be in Church and for Christ not to be in you. In fact,  this is a dangerous position to be because it is a matter of time before you are taken away and cast into fire. John 15:2,6.

 *If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.Joh 15:7 KJV. See to it that His words are abiding in you* .

Bible reading: John 15:1-17.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
