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...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
