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 ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
