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 portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
