STAY CONNECTED

Text: John 15:4 

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 .

Just as the branch of a tree cannot bear fruit without being connected to the tree, so much more you cannot also bear fruit if you are not properly connected to Christ.

Jesus told  His disciples to abide in Him and He in them because that is the only thing that guarantees their Fruitfulness. He further said to them, "without me, you can DO NOTHING"

You can DO but NOTHING without staying connected to Christ. All your activities in the church,  sacrificial giving and good deeds will be NOTHING outside of Christ.  The only thing that must be our priority is simply "STAYING CONNECTED"

Jesus is not seeking for those who will work for Him, but for those who will ABIDE in Him. He knows that if anyone abides, such will be far more productive and result oriented for the Kingdom. And only those that are connected can bring forth fruit wherein the Father (God) is glorified. This is because, anyone that abides simply produce all of Christ's content, for such person will be like Christ. He is Christ's extension just as fruit is the extension and product of the tree.

Examine yourself today and see if you are not properly connected to the Vine(Christ). Do not deceive yourself, you know if you are or not. 

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?_ 

2 Corinthians  13:5 

STAYING CONNECTED TO CHRIST IS THE ONLY THING THAT GUARANTEES YOUR FRUITFULNESS IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE .

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...
